Embark on a magical journey with Caroline and Clovis in "Poker Poker Magic," a delightful 1v1 puzzle/action game for Playdate. Join Caroline, a spirited yet somewhat absent-minded magician-in-training, and her trusty dove, Ceres, as they set out to find a magical hat that could help Caroline ace her end-of-year exams at the Robert Houdin School of Prestidigitation. Little do they know, their adventure will lead them into a whimsical forest filled with colorful characters, including a clown, a four-eared rabbit, and a horse prince, each providing opportunities for thrilling magical duels.

Awesome, thank you!

Hey! Just downloaded the file, but I don't see any .exe or other file that I can run. Am I missing something?

Hello!

I’m sorry but this game is designed for the Playdate console, so there is no executable file.

You can still play it on Windows/macOS/Linux using the Playdate simulator. You can get it by installing the Playdate SDK: https://play.date/dev/. The current version of Poker Poker Magic only has support for the macOS simulator, but I can add support for the Windows and Linux simulators if needed.

If you prefer a refund instead, I can request it from Itch support.

Thank you very much for your interest in Poker Poker Magic!

Oh, I see!

I'm playing on Mac, so that actually works out perfectly. Thanks for the quick reply!

If you are using Gatekeeper on your Mac (it’s enabled by default), it may complain because you are trying to run an executable downloaded from the internet.

To launch the game (after installing the Playdate SDK), you will need to right click the file “Poker Poker Magic.pdx”, select “Show Package Contents” and then right click on “pdex.dylib” and select “Open”. The warning popup will show again but this time it will have an “Open” option. Select it. Now you will be able to run the game by double clicking on “Poker Poker Magic.pdx”.

Oh, didn't see this until just now.

No need to worry, I got it all working without any issues.

I really liked the game, btw! I never thought I would be able to re-experience something like Puyo Puyo again, so this game was honestly such a delight.

Whaaaaat.....

Not sure what kind of what this is 😅. Should I be happy or not?
