PUP CUP - Playdate Advent Calendar Kickoff!


Happy Holidays! PUP CUP is OUT NOW for the launch of this year's Playdate Advent Calendar!

PUP CUP was announced recently and shown on custom Playdate Arcade Cabinets as part of Fantastic Arcade 2024

Today PUP CUP is available name-your-own-price with.. let's say 5 dogs and Root Bear-like gameplay. Serve treats to Dogs all across the world! It is a high-score chaser with 1- minute rounds and some very cute characters.

Root-likes are a new genre of games about serving treats to animals using the crank and exclusive to the Playdate. We have the titular Root Bear, Dragon Flagon, the upcoming Say When and now.. PUP CUP! 

When you open up your 'cart' you find a line of dogs waiting patiently for whipped cream treats. Crank Forward to fill the cup to the Star Zone and then crank Back towards you to Serve. 

The further you crank the faster you'll fill but don't serve too much or you'll cause a mess! Additionally, once you've served a pup, make sure to crank back to Idle or Fill or you might end up shorting a pup and making them a sad dog. 

While this initial release of the game is 'complete', we have plenty of gameplay updates coming. The full version of PUP CUP is scheduled to release on Playdate Catalog on 2/4/25 with: 

. Barked topping requests

. Tons more dogs

. Leaderboards 

. Daily 'Yappy Hours'

. Dynamic Voiceover 

... and some Friends

Don't hesitate! Grab this build of PUP CUP and let us know what you think. We may even run an open-call for community pups (and maybe some non-pups) to guest star. Stay Tuned!
