  Telly the TV on Sale for 99 Cents During Steam Winter Sale 2024!

  New Story Cutscene mode Coming to The Beginning & Ending of the Telly the TV! Coming Q1 2025 A story cutscene mode will be added to the beginning of Telly the TV, and I'm also going to rework the ending of the game as well! I've already got work started on some in-game pixel art which will feature the story behind our hero Telly. Telly the TV started as an HTML5 game meant to be played in one sitting, and evolved into a premium Steam Title. The original game had five different channels. I added a sixth channel to the game including three more levels, and another original song for the release here on Steam. I also added thumbstick & joystick support, and a level-select mode so players and speedrunners could easily navigate to their favorite level for practice, or getting back to where you left off. Your reviews and comments have inspired me to change & improve Telly the TV. As I continue development with the game and finish the cutscene artwork & programming, you'll be the first to know when the update will go live. Telly the TV now ON SALE for only 99 Cents During the Steam Winter Sale That's right, get the game for less than a cup of hot cocoa during the holiday season!

  Telly the TV :: Invincibility Patch 2.5.8

  Our players discovered a bug & we just fixed it! Greetings television land, We just had another time submitted to our Speedrun Dot Com page for Telly the TV, and the new WR is 26 minutes and 33 seconds! Our speedrunner also uncovered an unknown bug up to this point, so we came out with a new update: Players could get invincible, go back to the main menu, and retain invincibility for an entire level. We added a couple lines of code to fix this issue. Check out the newest WR speedrun of Telly the TV! Please let us know in the comments if you have any feedback for Telly the TV, or if you have experienced any bugs. We also just started a Devlog Series on our YouTube Channel so give us a subscribe over there to stay tuned to our latest game development work. Thanks for tuning in, Extra Mustard

  Telly the TV :: Patch 2.5.7 :: Joystick Issues Addressed

  We're listening and continuing to make changes to improve Telly the TV We've received some valuable feedback lately from user reviews on Steam. Here's what we addressed in this quick update: Added joystick deadzone to improve playing with joystick Although this was against the original intent of the game, we added another button you must use to go down, through the jump-thru platforms. You must now press the Right Shoulder button (RB or R1) and the joystick direction must be down as well. To account or any issues going down with the platforms, joystick controls now requires a stick-force of 1 (full value) to go right or left Please respond to this post and let us know how the game performs with these changes. Joystick controls were added as a convenience for players, however it was never intended to be the primary control scheme of the game. The d-pad offers the most accurate control, as this game was designed to mimic and play like a traditional NES game. Thank you
