My game #YOYOZO for Playdate has received a GOTY (Game of the Year) accolade from long-standing technology publication Ars Technica! 🤯

They list my game alongside three masterpieces by my heroes Nintendo! To say I'm humbled to be mentioned in the same breath as Mario, Pikmin and Zelda is an understatement. And to then be compared with such timeless classics as Super Hexagon and Geometry Wars... well... I think I've got something in my eye 🥺

@gingerbeardman I’m sure you never envision that this would occur. Incredible. Kudos really…

@martind it's only 10x higher than the highest score I thought was attainable. I had the idea to make the game play itself to test score limit (I've done so with other games) but in this case decided not to. Lesson learned! Respect to the high score!
