A downloadable sus-perience

Sussy's Floppy Disk-venture

A complete re-imagining of the base pulp game

Play as Sussy! A little dude with a backpack who just wants to go and play some bedwars on his computer- but oh no! He left the floppy disks laying around his home and backyard (because you need floppy disks to play bedwars, obviously.) Find them and return them to the computer to win! There's also a secret one that unlocks a true ending (cool).

[ On a serious note, I did this as a way to get familiar with pulp. I'm not sure if I'll take this anywhere, or make any new games, but I must say I really enjoy pulp as a whole- It makes it really simple to create experiences that are pretty enjoyable! I don't actually have a playdate yet, so if you decide to use one to play this then lmk how it turns out! ]

Enjoying this game. Loved the dialogue, and the different rooms were nice. I would love to see more! :)

definitely crashes

Yes, I Noticed That Definitely
It's An Issue With How Pulp's 'fin' Command Is Processed Through The Playdate
In Other Words You Beat The Game, It Is "Designed" To Crash (Although It Wasn't My Intention)

I Have A New Build Of The Game I May Release Soon, Which Fixes This Issue By Substituting It With An Endscreen Instead.

Constant crashes for me. :(

Anytime entering the front door, and can’t progress after the floppies either.

Very cute and fun game! That true ending is a doozy and a little existentially dready (which I love) but the path to getting there was tricky and fun! Thanks for making this!

I did not expect a gameplay video, let alone an entertaining one, but I loved it! Thank you for the feedback on my little joke project! I really appreciate it :)
