Description
To clash the cymbals, don’t be slow, do what the Tinker tells you so! Merry Andrew is a fast-paced medieval carnival reflex game built around the Playdate’s physical inputs. A strange travelling tinker shouts commands that you must quickly obey. Utilise the D-Pad, A/B, crank, mic and shake inputs to keep his cymbal-clashing monkey, Merry Andrew, performing. Learn the controls and don’t fall behind as the instructions get faster and faster! The higher your score, the ‘grander’ the show... thrash your fellow peasants and you might just be the talk of the town.
