Oct 22, 2025While Blippo+ isn’t a traditional video game, it’s still a great fit for gaming platforms. The programs are funny, and they expertly riff on the shows they parody. With the era of TV it evokes moving further and further into the past, it’s a nice reminder of what TV, video games, and all manner of entertainment can and should be — weird, and not afraid of trying something different.

Sep 25, 2025Blippo+ isn’t for those who are drawn to a game solely for its gameplay. It’s more for those who have an interest in popular culture, sci-fi and what potentially playing with our own ideas of science, entertainment, and opinions can create. As a child of the 90s, I found this to be a nostalgic ride through a lot of visual concepts that are now seen as kitschy and dated, but that really come alive, and seem like fresh, new concepts due to the extent the game goes in making every element of Blippo+ feel like a real world. Blippo+ is an amazing example of world-building done well and will be an exciting ride for those who love unique, strange visual experiences.

Sep 23, 2025Blippo+ feels like an art school project that broke containment and went international. What the team has done with a seemingly shoestring budget makes for a laudable DIY effort. Calling this a game could mislead some users, given it's really more like a '90s-colored cable TV package without any on-demand features. It's interactive, yes, but only in the way one's TV was in the mid-'90s. This sort of experience is sure to be unlike anything else you've ever played--and for younger players, anything they've even experienced in the first place--though a significant number of people will surely come out of it more confused than amused. Still, if you can match Blippo's vibe, you may find yourself homesick for another world.

Sep 23, 2025For those that enjoy the unhinged, 80s style programming on offer here, you’ll get a kick out of sitting back and seeing what's on. For everyone else though, you may want to change the channel.

Sep 29, 2025The most remarkable thing about Blippo Plus is that, as oddball as it is, it does eventually start to make some sense. At first, it seems completely random, from the unappetizing alien meals to the low-budget Star Trek costume and makeup design. But once you start paying closer attention, the connections become a lot clearer, and it’s pretty satisfying to piece things together and watch a much larger story unfold. If only it came with a remote control.
