Other occurrences

• On the Playdate home screen where all the apps are shown, the look of the Blippo+ app card has changed, superimposing "Hello Alien Viewers!" over the icon and adding digital TV noise patterns in the background.
  • In list view, the icons are much smaller, but the Logo is still superimposed with the same message, presented one letter at a time.

Announcements and hints by the makers

• Blippo+ will go on for 11 weeks

Speculations and theories

• Things are moving faster on Blip - a day full of programming fills just 5 minutes of our time. Might the 11 weeks encompass a full year on the Blip? (by a user on the Playdate discord)

Comments
