Hey everyone, we’ve been working on a project called Playtiles and thought it might fit this community, so we’d love to get your feedback.

It’s a small physical controller that sticks directly onto your smartphone screen. No Bluetooth or batteries, just mechanical, clicky buttons that turn your phone into a handheld console in seconds.

It comes with our app, PlaytilesOS, with features like game library management, achievements, digital game manuals, TV casting support, multiplayer features and game import/export options (.gb/.gbc and soon .md games).

On top of that, we collaborate with indie developers from the GB Studio ecosystem to release seasonal game bundles. Season 2 includes 24 modern Game Boy / Game Boy Color-style games, curated and published as a bundle. Supporting a season directly supports the devs behind it, and you keep the games forever, playable on your phone or exportable to external hardware. Season 2 Games are also available as games only.

Here’s a quick look at the ecosystem in action, featuring the first games of Season 2!

Salut !

J'étais venu ici il y a quelques semaines vous donner des nouvelles de notre console Playtiles. Pour ceux qui découvrent : ce sont de petites manettes sans électronique à coller sur son mobile (iOS/Android), accompagnées d'une app et d'une saison de jeux créés avec des développeurs indés.

Aujourd'hui, je suis très content de vous annoncer que la Saison 2 a officiellement démarré !

Les expéditions sont en cours un peu partout dans le monde (et vous avez été nombreux à nous soutenir ici, donc un immense merci), et les premiers jeux commencent à sortir.

La dernière fois je vous montrais le système d'achievements/succès, je vous propose aujourd'hui de découvrir ici les 4 premiers titres de la saison :

#1 - The Echoes of Worlds par Team Calamar (un jeu français 🇫🇷) - Platformer Roguelite
#2 - Pitchfork par JAIWare - Puzzle Platformer
#3 - PocketWare 2 par Lavallure - Party game inspiré de WarioWare
#4 - Bubble Frog DX par TimboJay - Puzzle/Arcade

Il y en aura pour tous les goûts. La Saison comprend 24 jeux avec des nouvelles sorties chaque semaine. On a aussi ajouté de nouvelles manettes à l'effigie de certains jeux (designées avec les devs) et des nouvelles fonctionnalités comme du multijoueur !

Pour ceux qui veulent en savoir plus, c'est par ici : https://get.playtil.es/
Et bien sûr, dispo si vous avez des questions !

Hey everyone, happy to share Tattoo Dungeon, an upcoming Game Boy Color homebrew!

An exploration / metroidvania-style platformer where you play as a young tattoo apprentice searching for your mentor’s lost flash… while dealing with an invasion of other-dimensional tattoo monsters.

We’ve launched it as a limited-run campaign on Playtiles.
If you haven’t seen it before, it’s an electronic-free controller that sticks to your phone and lets you play GB/GBC games with real buttons via an app.

The campaign already hit its goal (so production is secured) and there are 11 days left if you want to grab the controller + the game: https://limited.playtil.es/campaign.html?id=tattoodungeon

Happy to answer any questions!
