BombTrax (Playdate)
Life can be pretty dangerous when you're a bomb!
| Experiment 60-m-b has escaped the lab and is on a mission to destroy his evil creators. Help the living super-weapon explode its way through 100 levels filled with other hostile super-weapons intent on stopping him. |  |
- A crank only game designed for the Playdate. Crank your way around the tracks and learn when to avoid your foes and when to explode right in their faces.
- Set off chain reactions of explosions and hope your enemies all get caught in the blasts.
- Fight your way through mines, nuclear devices, time-bombs, homing missiles and worse.
- 100 levels, 3 different play modes and 9 types of enemy, to keep you on your toes. Or whatever bombs have instead of toes...
Remember if it moves blow it up.
Er, unless it's an armed thermonuclear device. In which case it's best to leave it alone.

The game crashes when selecting the first level and forces a machine restart. Any possible solution?
Hi Mote. Sorry to hear about the crash. I've been unable to replicate, but I'll investigate if there's any improvements I can make to how resources are handled at the start of the level, to reduce the chance of crashes.
When the game crashes, does it crash the second the level is chosen, or is it during the 'tutorial' bit where a character talks to the player to explain the story, etc. There's also a bit at the start of the level where there's a breakdown of how many enemies are on the level and what type they are.
After you say 'ok' to this screen is when the biggest spike in memory usage / cpu happens so if your crash is happening there I can definitely look into improving the resource handling. If it's happening before then I don't have as many options for tweaking performance.
Also worth trying is going into options from the title screen and turning Music off. This'll reduce the resources being loaded in at the start of a level.
New playdateStephen game? Is it Christmas already?
Thanks, hope you enjoy it!
crashes during level select 😬
Sorry to hear that. I've been unable to replicate the issue. Does it crash the first time you try and select a level or does it work most times and only seem to crash after playing for a while?
I have not been able to play yet. It crashes when selecting a stage. It lags really badly selecting the left to right stage select then just crashes
I've released a new version of the game with an optimised level select screen. I'm hoping this will fix your issue, as I'm not seeing it on my device. But a lot of people have described issues with lag so I'm hoping this version will be a little smoother.
