More about this game
In TV HOP: Lost Signal, your goal is to restore the broadcast by catching good items and dodging hazards. Each channel requires you to survive the timer while keeping your signal strength up. The difficulty increases as hazards fall faster, offset decoys appear, and late signal drops occur. Every five channels, you face a boss battle where your signal constantly drains by 4.5 points per second. Defeat bosses to earn powerful upgrades. A run ends when you lose all three of your lives or your signal drops to zero.
Tips
- Keep an eye on the channel timer. You only need to survive until the timer runs out to clear a normal channel, so prioritize dodging if things get too chaotic.
- During boss fights, your signal constantly drains. Catch good signals quickly to damage the boss, as letting your signal drop to zero will cost you a life.
- Build your combo streak by catching consecutive good items. A higher streak increases your score multiplier, but missing an item or hitting a hazard will reset it.
Questions
How do I beat a boss?
Catch the good signals to damage the boss. Bosses start with at least seven health points. Avoid the boss's hazards and keep your signal strength up, as it constantly drains during the fight.
What happens if I miss a good signal?
Missing a good signal drops your signal strength. If your signal drops to zero during a boss fight, you will lose a life and the signal will reset to a low amount.
How do I get upgrades?
You earn an upgrade draft after defeating a boss every five channels. You can choose from passive upgrades like a ten percent speed boost or active abilities like a shield.
