Today, we spotted a neat demo that showcases some tech the game platform wasn&#8217;t expected to be capable of.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Game developer Cristina Ramos posted a video on social media of a work in progress that takes the Playdate into 3D. The slice of gameplay begins with platforming upwards through an interior space and then emerging onto a rooftop for some <em>Mirror&#8217;s Edge<\/em> style jumping around under the open sky.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:5dpew7dcv42qfxq4bsttwfx7\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mr7xdlp5xc2y\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreic3qxk7vyxjmeld647vrf3p67sz4t3ng2xodgzkpmi62u2go2tc2q\">\n<p lang=\"en\">I was told you couldn&#8217;t do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it.<\/p>\n<p>Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror&#8217;s Edge, so I proved them wrong again.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cristina Ramos (@saffroncr.bsky.social) 2026-07-22T08:57:09.594Z<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s a great showcase of why we&#8217;re such big fans of the Playdate. Working within limitations is one of the best ways to really flex your imagination, and Playdate comes with plenty of them. With enough ingenuity, Ramos and other enterprising devs can make it do the seemingly impossible. We recently learned that the Playdate is even being used to help Big Ben ring on time, which is pretty rad.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2221371\/check-out-this-nifty-3d-playdate-game-demo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adding new dimensions to the device. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Cristina Ramos There are a ton of fantastic games available on the Playdate (with more on the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":70899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[1017,3800,258,27001,17645],"class_list":["post-70898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-check","tag-demo","tag-game","tag-nifty","tag-playdate","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/70899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
