Blippo+ is a live-action, off-cable TV simulator. Channel-surf the stars and discover the staticky, radical world of Planet Blip through its soaps, sitcoms, news, weather, and talk shows. But don't touch that remote—everything's about to get bent.
For people who grew up watching Gamemaster, early MTV, Hartbeat, '80s soaps, Bill Nye or Open University programming, and scanning the high channels past midnight for a glimpse of something softcore, Blippo+ is an absolute must-play must-watch. It really is a work of art, nailing the aesthetic of early-'90s TV and uncannily capturing a time and place in the way a song or a smell evokes a memory - in a way that feels almost personal.You need to treat it like old-school TV, though, surfing a little bit each day and soaking up the static; do not approach it as a game. And as fun as it is - as wonderfully assembled, expertly performed, and lovingly crafted - nostalgia for (or at least intellectual interest in) the era feels like a prerequisite. I'm an '80s kid, though, so I adored every second.
Blippo+ defies what makes a video game in favor of chasing a bygone era in television.
