Blippo+

Blippo+

Made by YACHT, Telefantasy Studios, & Dustin Mierau

When the first batch of Playdates came online, something strange happened. All at once, the screens pulsed with an unusual pattern of TV static. Was it a software glitch? Or interference from a transmission coming from somewhere beyond our world?

Now, thanks to the crank team of engineers at Panic, this mysterious broadcast signal has been decoded, and all Playdate owners can tune into and enjoy the finest TV service in the known universe: Blippo+!

Blippo+ is an 11-week, live-action, over-the-top television experience. New episodes, programs, and messages arrive every Thursday at 10am PT. 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 crank—because everything’s about to get bent!

  • This game's developer created it without the use of generative AI.
  • Blippo+ includes very brief depictions of smoking, some campy violence, philosophical discussions of death, the humorous depiction of disembodied brains, and a few macabre tales told (but not visually depicted). All in all, it's comparable to an old episode of The Twilight Zone, which, we think, is appropriate for most.
  • Blippo+ uses all the buttons, crank, and accelerometer, but requires no skill or precision to operate. Closed captioning is provided.
