This game is a trip, and proper simulation For your own experience., set up your own Blippo+ Channel Fieldstation 42 Linux PC or Raspberry Pi Linux OS Archive.org (for content) Youtube Playlists (for content) MediaHuman (for downloading youtube/vimeo/etc) Handbreak App (for splitting video compilations) Find the short and wierd segments. My Blippo+ channel has hundreds of videos and I often tune in for the random STRANGENESS. This game though is great. A+++
First off, THIS IS NOT A GAME!! You are viewing an alien planet's tv and culture through shows & skits. All you can do is control which channels you are on and watching, I personally really enjoy it, but this is definitely not for everyone.
Excels at everything written on the tin. It's Hypnospace Outlaw, it's Buffet Infinity, it's Adult Swim, it's Meow Wolf, it's Look Around You, it's Night Trap, and so on. The overlying story is positive and quirky, and the individual channels are addicting to watch unfold. Very comfy and fun. Favorite shows - Psychic Weather, Bushwalker, Realms Beyond, Boredome, Tantric Computing, Rubber Report, Small Talk, and of course Quizzards.
Very wild and out there, but definitely a fun ride! There's more content than you'd expect to get from it too. The only warnings I'd give are that this game is its own major epilepsy trigger warning because there's a lot of strobing light + color effects, so if you're sensitive to that or it gives you headaches/other issues then this probably isn't for you. It's also closer to a visual novel than anything super gameplay heavy, but that's kind of part of the appeal. And, once again I cannot overstate this, it's SO weird (meant 100% positively)
This game is, not much a game, but it is still one of the most insane experiences I have ever gone on. It is fun, silly,quotable, and full of heart. Check it out!
As I sat down to watch and "play" Blippo+ I struggled to even wrap my head around the idea. Alien TV channel surfing? Sure, on a surface level you can view it this way but as I flipped further along I realized something was happening to me. My mind was quickly bouncing and uncaring to everything I was observing. Like viewing a warped and dystopian view of TV's last breath effort to stay relevant and appealing to a growingly distant and non-caring audience. It felt like watching TikTok at 15x speed. Zero substance, all flash, all buzz words and hook lines that lead to nowhere. TV shows take time and investment on the viewers part. Time gets more valuable and you get stuck wondering what's even worth the watch. The ever rising wave of cheap streaming blockbuster slop, or tv specifically designed and catered to holding waning attention span, this feels like the end goal if the goal is continued pursuit of profit over people. Shallow Blippo+ with a side of hypno-waves is an interesting experience that isn't worth the price but leaves you wondering about how TV will be in 10-20 years. PS: More Quizzard please.
Playing this, I feel like I'm getting a feel for what it must be like to watch TV in Night Vale. EDIT: Reached the end. I miss everyone already. Thank you for allowing me to fall into your weird little world. Get Bent!
Wonderfully weird and delightfully low budget interactive TV experience. Beware, buyer, this is not a game in the traditional sense, but instead you switch through channels and watch short TV shows that look like they were inspired by 90s public-access television. Despite the lack of gameplay, I had a blast with Blippo+ and it's menagerie of weirdos. May this review be a ray of light in a cloudy mind. As always, stay attuned.
[i]Boing Boing![/i] I love this absurd art piece. This interactive project that is, essentially, this playground for people to embrace whimsy and just be silly and have fun was a great experience that I was genuinely sad to see eventually and inevitably end. The shows here caught such a vibe that I became a genuine fan. A lot of that, of course, is down to the incredible group of artists, designers, programmers, etc who stitched this interdimensional interactive television set into what it is, but one can't forget the stellar cast of folks in these programs. It's actually been pretty fun since starting this "game" that I have already seen a few of them out in the wild in other sketches or other projects. It's just very clear that Blippo+ was a great space for all of these creatives to come together and just make something absurd and fun, and I love it. Obviously, this sort of thing is not going to be for everyone, but I think most folks would be surprised by how much they enjoy this. I had a blast with this, and I think you will too. I [i]highly recommend[/i] picking this up!
a collection of a bunch of esoteric and weird "alien" videos produced like old TV. a novel concept, but not a game. only get on HEAVY SALE if interested
