# Crankani

Crankani is a game for the [Playdate](https://play.date/) handheld console. It is a shoot-em-up inspired by the likes of Gradius, Touhou, and Ikaruga.

In it, you control a space crab defending the Crab Nebula from invasion by other space creatures. Dodge bullets, charge your cannon, and defend yourself with Shell Mode. Use the crank to recharge your energy reserves.


### Building

To build this code, install the [Playdate SDK](https://play.date/dev/) and update `PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH` in the Makefile if you have installed the SDK somewhere other than `~/playdate`. Then, just run `make`.

`make` should produce a directory called `Crankani.pdx`. You can open this in the Playdate Simulator and sideload it onto your Playdate from there.

The Makefile is designed to be run under Linux and is untested on other platforms.
