Closed Circuit v1.0.0

After publishing my unofficial port of Celeste Classic for the Playdate last april, I was looking for ideas to start a new project. That's when I came across Closed Circuit, a puzzle game made by user The4thAD for the Black and White Game Jam #8 in 2022. I liked it so much and I thought this would be a great fit on the Playdate.

For this project, I really wanted to learn how to use LDtk, the 2D level editor from the creator of Dead Cells. Developer SquidGodDev has a great video tutorial to get started. After recreating the various tiles to a new format that would fit the Playdate screen (at 20x20 pixels, versus the original 16x16), I set up the different entities and tilesets in LDtk. And then it was just a matter of minutes before I had recreated all the levels.

The LDtk file and all of the game’s port for the Playdate source code are available on GitHub. I'd love to see people come up with new levels or a different game based on this.

Enjoy!
