A downloadable game

Use the crank to move the player's arm.  Press A or B to set your desired throw height.  Swing your arm down and back up to the throw position to throw the bag.  Tilt your Playdate to angle your throw. 

This is just a short story game based around the game Cornhole, but eventually I'd like to develop the Cornhole mechanics further for its own standalone sports game.

This makes me wish I had a Playdate! I think the story aspect makes sense, I know we play bags/cornhole at my family gatherings, so the idea of tying it into a story about memory and family drama was affecting.

Thank you!! It's a pretty neat little console.  I like developing for it because I find that without tight limitations, I can never finish a game.  It makes a lot of design decisions for you, if you pay mind to what it excels at.  1-Bit art restriction and minimal API for the dev environment is also a plus.
