Trash TV is a real short indie job. It's a good lookin' game with nice music and puzzles. My only problem, other than the length is that each level gives you a new weapon to solve puzzles in that level, and that weapon is used for puzzles in that level, and usually never again. There's a lot of good concepts that could have been elaborated on in this game, and some wasted potential. This game's good, but short, so wait for a sale or someth'n.

About This Game
A finalist of Intel’s Level Up 2011 game development contest, Trash TV’s addicting action and clever puzzle design is coupled with a haunting background brilliantly set by the chilling ambient tunes. Thematic visuals with a “fuzzy” screen style and static transitions completes the retro video charm. Each of the six different locations will have different puzzles to decipher and obstacles to maneuver through, with the solutions usually involving one of eight lethal weapons. From double uzis that blast through crates, C4 explosives to trigger floor panels, to the rocket launcher that can blast your TV character across the screen through “rocket jumping” techniques, the tricky puzzles in Trash TV will often require a careful yet explosive solution.
Key Features
- Weapon Solutions: Take control of eight powerful weapons ranging from pistols, paired Uzi machineguns, shotguns, and rocket launchers to solve clever puzzles. Oh, and of course – blow $#!% up.
- Six Locations to Explore: Traverse six different areas, each with their own devious traps, obstacles and enemies.
- Explosive Puzzle Solving: Use your arsenal of weaponry in a myriad of ways to get through tough obstacles, devious traps, and malfunctioning machines.
- Thematic Visuals: Stylized visuals to match the tube television main character, bars n' tone screens, and static noise transitions.
- Ambient Soundtrack: A chilling ambient soundscape adds to the "machine graveyard" background of the recycling factory levels.

After having finished this game I have come to the conclusion that it cannot be recommended. Why? Two reasons (The last one is a huge spoiler so be advised): A) The game is only 2 hours long at a base price of 8 dollars. This is too high for a video game of this length. This is how long good free games on newgrounds are, or how long games like 140 are (which is 5 dollars). Even when edmund mcmillen bundled all his flash games into a bundle and sold it on steam the price was only 4 dollars. It is unacceptable for this game to cost as much as it does. However, this game does have a great potential for a multiplayer deathmatch mode and if that is added then this will definetely get a recommendation and be worth the money. This game cost almost as much and knytt underground and that is 24 hours long (and has better controls) B)[spoiler]When you reach the end, all that happens is that the TV dies for no reason and the pixels that reaminated it dissappear. To make matters worse, the game ...
I had a lot of fun with this game. The controls are great, the art is on point, and the mood strangely has you fully absorbed in the life and perils of an old television set. If you like games that follow the same vein as The Legend of Zelda, Super Meat Boy, VVVVVV or Cave Story, this game is for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X6kPg4WX2s
Great game, full of exiting music and great design.
Fun with the ambience of Half Life 2 or Portal & Portal 2, Except you play as a side-scrolling gun-slinging robotic vintage television set stuck in a Recycling center. This is a puzzle game and a fun one at that. Decent graphics, music soundtrack could've been a bit more inventive and engaging. You don't get the dubstep in the video all throughout the game. Unlike most indie games this is worth my money. Reminded me of the good old days on C= Amiga. Well worth watching this author because he has come up with a killer combination. Can't wait for Trash TV 2. - freax Experience: Been playing video games since the Commodore 64/16/VIC & Commodore Amiga 500/600/1200/3000. PC: 386-486-Pentium-Current Day.
Loved it! the controls are tight and the screen reaction to explosives is a fine touch to the game that I personally enjoyed a lot! I would subjest this game to people who love a good puzzle solving... and guns! uvu
Rather short, not very difficult, but great fun
Good game. Pretty underplayed imo. Very nice!
A quick, clever puzzle platformer with a throwaway story but nice atmosphere and enough mechanical variety to keep things interesting.
An enjoyable platformer with a pleasing visual style. The puzzles aren't exactly complex, but it was still an enjoyable, but most of all beautifully styled expirience.
