ON THE BOX

Make first-person puzzler TELLYPORT your first port of call

- by Tom Sykes

Televisions—as we know from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory—would make you tiny if you were to step inside one, and that’s pretty much the premise of delightful puzzle game Tellyport, in which tellies shrink (or grow) the protagonist, but also teleport them clear across the room. These two mechanics converge to create some tricky first-person puzzles, as you explore a cosy lab to find your eccentric inventor grandma.

Of course, the first thing you’ll notice isn’t the teleporting telly sets, but rather the very groovy décor of the lab, which forgoes the austere test chambers of Portal for messy living areas in every conceivable shade of brown. It’s Ikea in the ’70s, but with a few more box puzzles and fewer meatballs.
