Goodnight Universe
A downloadable game
A micro audio game to fall asleep with about the heat death of the universe.
It is the distant future. The last stars have faded. Everywhere is darkness.
You are adrift.
Send out audible pings and listen for replies. From the time it takes to receive a reply, locate and collect all of the probes.
Play by Sound Alone
When you can't sleep, light from screens can keep you awake. Unlike other devices the Playdate screen is unlit, perfect for playing undisturbed in the dark when only audio is required.
A Tiny Yellow White Noise Machine
The game's title screen continually generates low volume noise. Change "Auto Lock" to "Off while charging" in the console settings and your Playdate can double up as a passive sleep-aid.
Accessibility
We think this game is appropriate for everyone.
This game uses the D-pad and the A and B buttons. It does not use the crank.
While designed to be played primarily by audio alone, this game includes visual cues, a title screen with text prompts, and a mandatory text based tutorial.

I love this idea! I wanted a Playdate audio game, but I'm even more impressed it's designed to be played in the dark. As someone with insomnia, thank you!
