Playdate Season 2 review: Long Puppy and Otto's Galactic Groove!!

We are halfway through Playdate Season Two, and the latest drop features two new games, Long Puppy and Otto's Galactic Groove!!. These games offer a light and silly experience, but they are not without their challenges. Long Puppy is a game of fetch where you play as a dachshund, but it comes with complex obstacle courses and a ghost dog that tries to steal the ball from you. The game has unique mechanics, such as the dachshund's head rotating 360 degrees and its ability to stretch and contract like a Slinky-worm. The game also features a pee journal where you can collect different types of urine, adding to the game's absurdity. Otto's Galactic Groove!! is a rhythm game that triggers perfectionism, with a cute story and fun tunes to jam out to, but it can be challenging, especially with its moving oval-shaped slider that you control using the crank. The game has three difficulty settings, but none of them are particularly easy, and it requires precise timing to hit the notes. Both games offer a unique playing experience, with Long Puppy being a silly puzzle platformer and Otto's Galactic Groove!! being a challenging rhythm game. Overall, the latest drop of Playdate Season Two offers a fun and light experience, but with challenges that will keep you engaged. The games are a great addition to the Playdate library, showcasing the console's ability to offer unique and quirky gaming experiences.
