Spin to win on the Playdate! CranKnight (Crank-Knight) is a short but challenging, chaotic rogue-ish/survivour-ish hack-n-slash game where you fight waves of enemies while upgrading your weapons. Use the power of the Playdate crank to swing your weapons to fight and block!

  1. Select from 5 unique weapon types, with multiple upgrade options
    for each!
  2. Hold up to 4 different weapons at once to come up with endless
    combinations to fight your way to victory!
  3. Upgrade your armour to 3 different styles, changing up the way you play!
  4. Complete achievements to show what you've accomplished (and unlock secret weapon upgrades)!
