Cranko! #8 \u00a0First Anniversary!<\/strong><\/h2>

We couldn\u2019t be prouder!
With this shiny new issue, we\u2019re celebrating our magazine\u2019s very first birthday!<\/p>

And since sitting around resting on our laurels has never really been our thing, we\u2019re marking the occasion the only way we know how: with an exclusive feature on one of the most eagerly awaited games in Playdate history: Comet.<\/strong><\/p>

We had the chance to play its first three levels, and saying that what\u2019s heading our way is going to hit like a meteorite would be putting it mildly. Alongside an in-depth breakdown of the gameplay, we\u2019ve packed in an eight-page interview with its creators that you absolutely won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>

Summer has arrived with all guns blazing, and we\u2019re turning up the heat ourselves. Not only does this issue come stuffed with even more pages, but you\u2019ll also find a full-colour Comet poster<\/strong>, the complete \u2014and absolutely massive! map of The Magician<\/strong>, plus the very first batch of Cranko collectible cards<\/strong>!<\/p>

And sandwiched between those two generously stuffed buns? The finest gaming ham money can\u2019t buy: an original mini-comic, a record-breaking haul of reviews, news, giveaways, interviews, and even an in-depth feature that\u2019s guaranteed to ruffle a few feathers.<\/p>

Summer is here, time to enjoy the holidays!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A few copies are still available, so this is the perfect moment to complete your collection,
fill those missing gaps, or finally grab the issues you missed the first time around.<\/p>

    I really like your magazine, its design, style, and the concept itself. It reminded me of the old days when I used to buy magazines with PC game reviews. Especially now that I\u2019ve become part of the community and now from the developers\u2019 side, it\u2019s really interesting to learn what inspired them, what they went through, and what they ended up creating.<\/h3><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n
