Hard at times, but also a really simple precision platformer.

The game's hero is a TV. There is no story or introduction to the protagonist or the game’s world; you simply progress through the stages until you reach the end. Because this game aims for an old-school vibe and simplicity, you only have a few keys for movement and a jump. The controls are responsive and fair.

Your small TV can withstand some punishment but you still need to be careful. While full health is only restored with big pills, you can still get lucky by destroying an enemy and finding a smaller pill that restores only one health.

Sometimes they will drop a video cassette that grants you temporary invincibility. However, none of this matters if you fall into a hole, killing you quickly and forcing you to restart the entire stage. This is far more unpleasant than it appears because certain stages are longer and require precision platforming over tiny blocks. There are no checkpoints.

If you are good at these games, you will be able to beat it quickly because there are just six worlds with three stages each. Each world has a theme to keep things interesting. The goal of each stage is to find five keys and get to the giant TV in the end. Stages are straightforward, with only occasional stages that requires you to find keys in two directions. There are no collectibles or secrets.
