Small Radios Big Televisions is a surreal puzzle video game developed by Fire Face and published by Adult Swim for PlayStation 4 and Windows in 2016-11-08.
The game uses a combination of hidden objects, basic labyrinths, and logic puzzles spanning five levels. Each level contains a number of cassette tapes on which small virtual worlds are stored. Inside each virtual world is a green dodecahedron which will unlock a door, but the dodecahedrons are often hidden and the tapes must be corrupted with electromagnets to discover them.

I bought this game as part of a Humble Bundle. The screenshots looked pretty cool, so I played the game. I found it interesting enough to play to completion.

Best Version: Windows
— This section contains spoilers! —
Good
- A lot of the virtual worlds are very interesting to look at.
- The game is a bit too homogeneous. The length is okay, but you're doing mostly the same thing the whole time.
Bad
- The second level has a strange puzzle which requires demagnetizing the same tapes twice, but on different magnets, which doesn't make much sense.
- I don't understand a couple of the spigot puzzles in level 4. Even after I solved them, I wasn't sure why I won.
- The game seems to have a story, but it doesn't make much sense.
Ugly
- Nothing.
