Nice things people said

The first trailer for Gotta Bounce was nominated in The 2023 Playdate Community Awards in Best Playdate Game Trailer.
Playdate: The Unofficial Website called Stars of the Screen a #2 game in their 2023 Playdate Games of The Year, describing the game as:
“Truly original in a way I’ve not seen in a long time, Stars of the Screen is a big reason that I made this website, to tell people about games like Stars of the Screen.”
Jonathan Dunn of O3C games called Stars of the Screen the ultimate toilet game in their 2023 End Of Year Special Podcast while also saying:
It’s so difficult to explain! (…) You just need to play around. (…) It’s the way the game subverts itself that made me smile the most. There’s always a way to interact with it, even in the menus and transitions. (…) It’s really doing something different, there always seems to be some other secret to wheedle out (…) It just couldn’t exist anywhere else, other than the Playdate. It’s brilliant.
