Gabriel Toschi (blog, undated). "Spellcorked is the most gorgeous game in the whole Playdate's Season One, end of line… A little repetitive, but always beautiful."

What it is
Spellcorked is a "laid-back magical gig economy crafting game". You're a recently graduated young witch "trying to thrive in a digital age", taking potion orders by email from customers you'll never meet. Each order means working out what the ingredients do, then using the crank to chop, crush and stir them, and finally tilting the Playdate to bottle the result, all for the best review you can get. Working out the recipes is most of the fun.
It's by Jada Gibbs, Nick Splendorr, Ryan Splendorr and Tony Ghostbrite, with sound by A Shell in the Pit and key art by Ryan Kingdom. It unlocked in Week 10 of Season One alongside Inventory Hero, free with the console.

What others are saying
Ars Technica (Sam Machkovech, 18 Apr 2022). the fun "runs out once you go through the linear motions… but its charming writing and variety of potions make it a memorable lark while it lasts."
