Blippo+

In Blippo+, the player receives transmissions from the fictional alien planet Blip. These come in the form of the planet's principal TV service provider, also called Blippo+. By consuming the alien media, players piece together the culture of Planet Blip and uncover the mystery of a space anomaly nicknamed "The Bend."

Gameplay consists of channel surfing via Blippo+'s Electronic program guide (EPG), receiving messages from the network, and reading through text content. Writer and producer Claire L. Evans described Blippo+ as "a six hour science-fiction movie disguised as a television network disguised as a video game."

Panic Inc. showed Yacht a prototype of the Playdate hardware at a music festival in 2015, and invited the band to make a game for them. The concept of Blippo+ was approved by one of Panic's co-founders Cabel Sasser.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Blippo+ was in production for a year, followed by a year of post-production. The footage was shot with real analog television equipment to give the game the appearance of being a collection of real programs from the 1990s.

The game received a positive review from Engadget for its unique style of being "more like an old episode of The Twilight Zone if it were made by Tim & Eric and aired after midnight on Adult Swim". GameSpot gives the game a 7 out of 10 for its amusingly bizarre recreation of channel-surfing in a bygone decade but criticized it for the shows all tending to have a singular vibe despite the many genres attempted. Writing for Inverse, Robin Bea praised the programming and overall narrative and called Blippo+ a "storytelling feat". Writing for PC Gamer, Joshua Wolens noted that Blippo+ was less of a game and more like interactive art, but praised the authenticity of the programming to 1980s and 1990s television, as well as its take on a Ceefax-like system.
