Wheelsprung (Playdate)

Wheelsprung is a part of Playdate's Season 2, and caught my attention pretty quickly in the sea of games. It plays much like a side-scrolling dirtbike game, with short levels that vary in difficulty. The emphasis is on quickness, as there is a leaderboard for the quickest clears on each level. While the physics can be wonky at times, and some levels are headache-inducing, Wheelsprung does a great job of delivering some nostalgic gameplay. It brings me back to playing similar games on the iPod Touch, comparing times with friends on the bus. Don't miss out on this one if you can relate.

Play it for the:

Classic 2D dirtbike gameplay
Online leaderboards
Level editor
