Panic is running a sale across the Playdate Catalog to celebrate its three-year anniversary, with discounts on 423 games available until March 19. The sale started March 5 and runs through 1PM ET on the 19th, offering a perfect opportunity to expand your collection of these quirky handheld games.

While most Playdate games are already inexpensive, the discounts can add up during a buying spree. Season Two, normally $39, stands out as a particularly good deal - it includes 12 solid games plus Blippo+, an oddball cable TV simulator. The collection offers variety from puzzles to action games, with standout titles like The Whiteout and Taria & Como.

For those overwhelmed by choices, several games deserve special mention. Outside Parties offers a unique horror scavenger hunt using the crank to adjust brightness while searching for hidden scenes. Crankstone delivers a wild west gallery shooter with minigames, while Echo: The Oracle's Scroll provides a combat-free metroidvania experience. Other recommendations include Carte Blanche for card game fans, Castle Kellmore for dungeon crawler enthusiasts, and Piña Rollada for tilt-controlled action. With the sale ending soon, now's the time to grab these distinctive indie games before prices return to normal.
