Reviewer's note: Blippo+ takes around 6-10 hours to reach the end of its programming.
Blippo+ is a live action FMV cable television simulator whose intergalactic programming invites viewers to immerse themselves in the bonkers world of Planet Blip. As they channel-surf through Blippo+’s channels, shows, and messageboards, players will explore an alien culture’s TV tropes and piece together an intergalactic drama unfolding behind the scenes and between the channels.
Made by a group of artists with a deep love of television, and with an unmistakably analog look created by director JJ Stratford, Blippo+ stars over 100 performers from the Los Angeles underground. The result is a charmingly camp, off-the-wall and funny experience, praised by many as one of Playdate Season 2’s standout offerings — and now it can be enjoyed in full color on more platforms!“It’s been delightful to watch the Playdate community jump head-first into the world of Planet Blip, and we’re so excited to bring our utopian television vision to a wider audience,” say co-creators YACHT. “We can’t wait to meet all the future Blippians who will find themselves in this game.”
The game’s soundtrack, with over a hundred new music tracks from Rob Kieswetter and Jona Bechtolt of the Grammy-nominated band YACHT, is also available today on Bandcamp, Steam, itch.io, and other music platforms.
Once you're done surfing the intergalactic airwaves, take a break with Logos from Planet Blip, a unique behind the scenes look at the visual design of logos and other visual elements from Blippo+. This 40-page book features a variety of black & white and full color illustrations from the game along with notes and commentary on the development and history of the game from writer Claire L. Evans. On sale now from The Yetee!

About Blippo+
Congratulations! Blippo+ is now available in your area.
Blippo+ is a live-action, new wave, 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—because everything’s about to get bent.
Planet Blip is brought to life through a cast of lovable characters, vibrant costumes and makeup, original music, extensive lore, and writing that pays homage to the offbeat, idiosyncratic, and often-forgotten margins of TV history, from pirate television and cable access to public broadcasting and video art. Whether you’re a punk, new waver, sproinger or a bender: there’s something for you on Blippo+.
FEATURES:
- Channel-surf your way through a wide variety of funny, freaky, and wholly original live-action programs on the Blippo+ Electronic Program Guide!
