A "For Your Consideration" graphic for Cherry Hill: A Trucking Adventure Simulator, with feature art including the player, a semi-truck, and a distance mountain range. It suggests the "Best Sim/Strategy Game" category. It includes two review quotes. The first is "It may have asked more of me than any game I've ever played on the Playdate." by Playdate Unofficial. The second is "... Cherry Hill delivers a payload packed with obsessive love for detail." by Cranko! Magazine.

I’m admittedly completely biased but this review of Cherry Hill by @thegamellama.bsky.social is a fun read 💝☺️

(p.s. sorry everyone for accidentally cramming boss fights into the game 💅)

wait, could it work to buy targeted ads for the amazon movie and point them at play.date 👀📈 no shade to the "dadventure" movie crowd but I really think they might appreciate having a Playdate more

(Late on this but If you’ll allow me a non-gamedev post while the vax is powering me up 🙌)

Jane Goodall spoke at my middle school when I was in ~8th grade. She’s one of a handful of people in my life that cemented in me the idea that this planet does not belong to us.
