Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a story-led adventure or a fixed campaign structure may find the repeated randomized runs limited.

- Players who do not enjoy collecting items across repeated attempts may find the progression repetitive.
Our take on TV Kid
Rather than using a conventional fantasy or sci-fi setting, the game frames its roguelike clicker loop around changing television channels and a battle against television itself. Its randomized runs replace a fixed sequence of levels, while the included body pillow adds a physical novelty to the package.
