My favorite thus far has been Saturday Edition?? but I think it’s a season game

So far I really like Sparrow Solitaire—easily the most polished game I've played on this device

I've put many hours into Sparrow Solitaire! Definitely my favorite so far on Playdate.

I also enjoy "Spellcorked", but that's a season 1 game (so no need to buy)

I adore A Balanced Brew and Grand Tour Legends. For a great puzzler, get Skwish.

Season one is filled with a lot of gems that you'll unlock as the weeks go on.

Bloom is a must buy in my opinion, still my favorite thing that I've played on Playdate. Balanced Brew, Grand Tour Legends, Nectar Crisis, and Life's Too Short are all great as well.

I find it easier to browse the Catalog offerings via the Playdate website compared to browsing on Playdate as the Catalog app on-device tends to load pretty slow in my experience.
