Playmaker blew me away in its level of polish, thoughtfulness, and UI design. I almost don't want to say much about it because part of its appeal is the fun of discovering everything that's possible. At a high-level though, it has six modes: painting, music, stamps, sampler, blocks, and dancing. The painting mode is by far the most robust, containing dozens of paint patterns, stamps, and drawing tools. The music mode has a lot of features too, with multiple instruments and the ability to play up to four notes at a time spanning the whole treble clef staff. The other modes are smaller toy boxes in comparison, but the blocks are equally fun as painting especially if you prefer having more constraints.

The most impressive part about Playmaker is how the controls and UI design blend together to create a really intuitive experience. It may take some getting used to at first, but the pause menu has a nice cheat sheet if you ever get lost. The sound design is top notch too, and the game has several tools in it that I didn't believe were possible on Playdate without huge performance hits (i.e. smudge tool and bucket fill). Even if you aren't the most creative person or have no desire to create full art assets or music with Playmaker, the process of discovery is fun and entertaining by itself.
