XTRIS is a fast-paced arcade-style Playdate game you won’t be able to put down

XTRIS is a new Playdate game by Fletch Makes Stuff that'll put your dexterity to the test.

I love a game that screams things like “neato!” and “godlike!” while I’m feverishly pressing buttons and darting my eyes around the screen, trying to make my fingers work as fast as my brain. My skills in the Playdate game XTRIS are definitely not godlike, but there’s just something about that classic arcade announcer voice that makes me think each time, “ this is the one where I’ll finally crack the leaderboard.” (It never is). If you poke around in the menu, you can also find some unlockable characters and symbols to switch up the appearance of the game, swapping the X for something like a frog or a slice of pizza.
