Nothing official, Milner, although I'd imagine that they may do so at some point. I believe that most folk feel that the current screen is pretty decent... although maybe we'll seek OrangeRKN's perspective on this!

OrangeRKN wrote:...Mars After Midnight. This game has vibes. It's essentially an easy, kid friendly and funnier Papers, Please, and I like it a lot! It's probably the highest profile game to have released on Playdate, certainly since the season one games it launched with, and I'm glad for the attention it is bringing to the console. It's probably not a killer app on its own, but I see it being a mainstay of Playdate discussion and recommendations.
