Otto’s Galactic Groove!!

Made by Team Otto

Alien music producer Tomie needs inspiration! In this rhythm-action game designed specifically for the Playdate console, it's up to her pet space sea slug Otto to find it in the furthest corners of the galaxy.

Travel the stars: Explore planets full of quirky characters with their own unique musical styles and storylines. The story plays out across 16 original tunes by Rupert Cole and comics by Edie Woolf.

Play your way: Choose from three difficulty levels, then tweak the controls and gameplay with a range of accessibility and assist settings such as left-handed and auto-crank mode.

Join the community: Compete online through built-in scoreboards, then use the web-based level editor to build your own songs and share them with the world.

Also includes 9 bonus tracks from some of the best soundtracks on Playdate including ‘Gun Trails’, ‘Bloom’ and ‘Reel-istic Fishing’.
