The device features a black-and-white 1-bit screen, directional pad, two game buttons, and a mechanical crank on the side.[2]

Games for the handheld will be released in 12-game "seasons." Each game will be kept secret until the week it's released, and will be automatically downloaded. The first season of games are included in the price of the console.[3] Video games are produced by Panic as well as notable indie game developers such as Keita Takahashi, Zach Gage, Bennett Foddy, and Shaun Inman.[1] Future game titles include Crankin's Time Travel Adventure, b360, Zipper, and Executive Golf DX.[4]
