Omaze is a beautiful abstract action game that is exactly the type of shit I wanted out of this device. Omazing Wow, wow, wow. This is my kinda shit! Omaze is a beautiful action game that is at once simple and demanding. Your objective is to reach the end of a series of mazes that are made up of a chain of circular nodes (hence the game’s title) on a single screen. http://nixon.computer/blog/gameclear/2026/gameclear302/ Sun, 05 Jul 2026 00:47:44 -0400 http://nixon.computer/blog/gameclear/2026/gameclear302/ Pick Pack Pup (2022, Playdate) Developer: Nic Magnier, Arthur Hamer, and Logan Gabriel Publisher: Panic Clear Version: Playdate Clear Platform: Playdate Clear Date: 6/30/26 Why should I care?

This tiny game about yearning for a sequel has some resonance, and its singular mechanic works great on Playdate. Cranking ’em out. I mentioned in my previous GAME CLEAR post that the Playdate would likely be my rail-commute companion and that I’d likely finish games here and there through repeated plays on such journeys. http://nixon.computer/blog/gameclear/2026/gameclear300/ Wed, 24 Jun 2026 10:43:22 -0400 http://nixon.computer/blog/gameclear/2026/gameclear300/ Casual Birder (2022, Playdate) Developer: Diego Garcia Publisher: Panic Clear Version: Playdate Clear Platform: Playdate Clear Date: 6/19/26 Why should I care? This debut title for the charming Playdate seems to lay out pretty well what the point of this device is (positive). Fowl shots Wow, 2022! The Playdate came out in 2022? That really doesn’t seem right. Well, it is, but I only just got one. For those not in the know, the Playdate is a handheld video game console created by Panic.
