"You browse different broadcasts, each of which feature bizarre, retro, live-action transmissions about a minute or so long, from nightly news and soap operas to quiz shows and fuzzy softcore. Every channel runs according to a schedule, which means you'll need to decide which broadcasts to watch as they run live, and which to try again the next night. The more you watch, the easier it becomes to piece together the overall strange, sci-fi story of Blippo+, which plays out across these endearingly weird channels."
"If you're in the mood for something a little out there, start with Blippo+. First released in May on the handheld Playdate console, the game arrived on PC and Switch in September. At first blush, it's a game about channel surfing.

Tracking every 2025 game release is difficult, and while major titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will dominate lists, many smaller games offer exceptional creativity and fun. Five standout games from 2025 are recommended, including Blippo+, Sektori, Dispatch, and others. Blippo+ launched on Playdate in May and on PC and Switch in September. Blippo+ plays like channel surfing across scheduled, bizarre, retro, live-action broadcasts that gradually reveal a strange sci-fi narrative, and features a retro soundtrack by Jona Bechtolt and Rob Kieswetter.
