Seems that you've pulled a Pokemon.

Ghostnet seems to be dead currently, just an fyi for people wanting to purchase this game looking to trade.

Ghostnet is working again!

i really love the game! i always enjoyed these types of games,  so it's a no brainer if you're a pokemon fan!

if it's possible though, would you be able to allow compatibility to ghostnet for those who downloaded the game directly from the playdate? i have no idea how to side load this one without having to pay for a second copy.

edit: found out my answer is as simple as moving files to where you keep the side loaded stuff. handy for ghostnet!

edit 2: nevermind, i found myself with a fatal error.

it reads "global user id was null or set to -1"

edit 3: SOMEBODY HELP, IT'S PERMANENTLY STUCK ON GHOSTNET AND I BOUGHT THE GAME TWICE

I read on some comments that instead of gyro you also added D-Pad support. Did this happen, because I can't seem to find it in options.

I think my save might be corrupted, my Playdate crashes everytime I try to boot the game :<

An option to hide the badges and when you caught a ghost would be nice so we can see the artwork uncovered

I tried to do the TYK event that I got from GhostNet and it wouldn't let me load it in the game when I tried to get that event ghost.

Hello, what are the differences between shadow and shining gadget? (sorry for the bad English btw. I am german)

Will the Ghostnet app be coming to mac or the browser? I tried to run it with Wine but sadly it just crashes.

Howdy everyone!

Hi, somehow downloading events to device messed up and don't appear in game, but they also disappeared from GhostNet. How can I fix that?

Howdy everyone!

I like how these are in pairs reminiscent of old pokemon games

a really cute idea!!! i love the creatures so far, the game looks beautiful, and the “idle gameplay” system feels perfect for the playdate. but i have a few suggestions:

1. please consider showing the “pause screen” help to first time users… I lost my first two ghosts and was extremely confused and frustrated…

2. d-pad mode! (i see you’re working on that) i’m hoping that d-pad mode or changing the sensitivity will make this game easier to play, because the default settings are very hard for me to see the screen while tilting the playdate to extreme angles to align the cursor

3. high fidelity voice lines seem a bit out of place to me. i’d love it if the voice lines were downsampled to lower quality to give it a more retro vibe (like the SNES Star Fox voice clips, for example)

Hey, just bought Shining Gadget and have a small problem. Any time I have save data it crashes on me when trying to reopen the game. Anyone else running into this issue? I don't want to lose my ghosts :(

Note: this happened with both builds of the game.

Howdy everyone!

Shining Gadget + Ghostnet have been updated, more info and patch notes are available here:

Shining gadget is very buggy. If you lock the screen while on the ghost catcher hud, the mic stops working until you close the game and reopen it. Also, the collection screen will sometimes go haywire thinking the dpad is being mashed when it isnt. The tilt controls are extremely sluggish and require extreme movements. Id much rather use the dpad like in Necrocrisis.
