Blippo+ is a handcrafted TV-channel surfing game from a past that never existed. L.A.-based actors, comedians and artists collaborated to direct and film hours of footage.

A joy to interview @theuniverse.bsky.social, one of its creators, whose career is studded with bright jewels like these.

Blippo+ ($13.49) - the people behind Untitled Goose Game got something different for you: a wild simulation of cable TV in its glory days, but delivered to you from another planet. feels like something from the era of 'multimedia CD-ROM', shined to perfection. store.steampowered.com/app/3323850/...

All TV is alien TV for those with eyes to see. We spoke with @theuniverse.bsky.social and @telefantasytv.bsky.social about creating @blippo.plus, fave cable access follies and the convergence of ironies that made games the best medium for experimental broadcasting.

I don't know if Blippo+ can be considered an actual "video game" but it is one of my favorite things on my Switch right now

The best explanation for Blippo+ I have is "what if you watched TV and early internet from a super-awesome 80's New Wave planet?"

that's it

that's the "game"

I love it

More inspiration for you: Peggy Weil’s LIPSYNC from 1981. Peggy’s not just one of the operators on The Exquisite Telethon — she’s a media art pioneer!

Blippo+ is Game of the Year by a zillion miles. It’s not even close. Just pack up and go home, you’re not touching this.

Blippo+ understands how to do nostalgia: it's about what made the past memorable, not the bare elements themselves.
