Fluffpad is a "pocket games console built from a Raspberry Pi RP2350 and Pimoroni parts" created by Ilya Titov aka Webgoggles. That name may sound familiar, because they also created AttinyArcade, a super-tiny arcade machine built around an ATtiny85 microcontroller.

For their latest project, they've gone slightly bigger and using a mix of hot glue, Lego and dreams, they have created a pocket-sized games console with a bill of materials featuring a few of our products.
- Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W
- Pico Display Pack 2.8"
- Qw/ST pad (I2C game controller)
- Qw/ST Cable
- LiPo SHIM for Pico
- Small speaker
- Lithium-ion battery
While the hardware is important, the software is truly the heart of this build. Ilya is using Fluffpad to build games with their daughter, Maya.
Games are programmed in MicroPython and they instantly remind us of the games for NES, Sega Master System and 8-bit home computers of the era.
At the time of writing there are three main games.

- La-Fluff-Puff and the Jade Sun: A flip-screen "metroidvania" RPG
- La-Fluff-Puff Skedaddle: An "endless runner" game where you jump over obstacles and shoot UFOs.
- Fluffbert's Frozen Dream: An isometric adventure which is still a work in progress.
There is also a platform game bootstrap which is used to make your own one-room platformer.
If you would like to make your own version, grab the parts from above and follow the install guide over at GitHub.
Pico Display Pack 2.8"
An expanded 2.8" (320 x 240 pixel) IPS LCD display add on for Raspberry Pi Pico (and compatibles), with four buttons, an RGB LED and Qw/ST connectivity.
