Hi, that’s a good looking game! I added a sideload and can’t wait to try it out! Congrats on the release!

I’m writing right now because a few friends had a problem with installing the game via the sideload page on Playdate website (we discussed it in the Playdate Squad discord server). It’s especially hard for people who upload the zipped file from mobile devices where archive/unarchive functionality is hard to find or even inaccessible.

To make it easier, you can zip just the FireTeam.pdx folder and post it standalone. I checked that your metadata in pdxinfo is correct and the game it uploads nicely. (You can include the readme inside the pdx, if you want to.)

Also, the USB method of sideloading is mostly intended for developers (most players don’t have SDK installed), so I’d recommend to post a how to about web sideloading.

hi thanks for the comment! I have added a fireteam.pdx.zip so hopefully that works (if you could test it I would really appreciate it as I no longer have access to the play date o used to develop the game).

Thanks for the insight on sideloading as a player, I’ve only done it through development so I’ll check it out and update the page in the morning! 

Once again, thank you for the comment and feedback, I really appreciate it! :p

Thanks for such a quick reply and fix!
