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.

This is a bundle of three genuinely funny games for under $30. You won't find a better deal on laffs!

store.steampowered.com/bundle/58928...

Three game key arts: 1. Thank Goodness You're Here (cartoony townsfolk cheering a tiny salesman), 2. to a T (lots of people striking a "T" pose), 3. Later Alligator (abashed alligator)

What the heck is this BLIPPO+ thing from @panic.com? Is it even a game? We talked to one of the collaborators behind it, the dance-pop band YACHT, to try and find out.

Did we get answers? Uh, kind of?

We Talked to YACHT To Try and Understand 'Blippo+'

Alien channel-surfing sim Blippo+ asks players to "expand their idea of what's possible" in games. We ask co-creators YACHT what that means.
