Redacted (Stephen Jue)

Redacted is a prototype of a platformer for the Playdate made for the PlayJam. You play as an ink blob who is stuck in pages of novels. The only way for you to escape is to scribble out words and use them as platforms.

There are six levels. Try to escape with as few missing words as possible!

How to play:

• There are two modes: play and edit. To toggle between them, press A.
• In play mode, use the d-pad to move  your character and the B button to jump
• In edit mode, use the d-pad to move your cursor and the B button to redact words
• You have a limited amount of ink in each level, indicated in the HUD. If you run out of ink, you can restart by using the Playdate menu option "Restart level"
• Use the crank to scroll up and down

Known issues: This is a prototype and there are some bugs that I know about:

1. When you complete the game, you go back to the first level. You may experience a crash when going to edit mode.
2. The best score field in the HUD only updates properly on the first level

After the jam I plan to fix these issues and possibly create something more full featured. Thanks for playing!
