## What is Ministry of Broadcast?

A country divided by The Wall. To cross it and reach your family, you must compete on - and win - a reality TV show broadcast by the Regime.

Seemingly built overnight, The Wall has divided both a country in two and a man from his family. To see them again, our ginger-haired protagonist has decided to become a contestant on “The Wall Show”, a Regime-organized TV show allowing competitors the opportunity to escape to freedom on the other side. However, as he progresses through the camp, our contestant soon realizes exactly how the Regime and the show operate. The promise of freedom is not exactly what it seems.

Inspired by games such as Prince of Persia (1989) and Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus, Ministry of Broadcast revives the spirit of classic cinematic action-adventures where players need nimble run-and-jump reflexes and a healthy aversion to falling from precarious heights. To reach freedom and family, you must lead the protagonist through each of the Arenas while under the ever-watchful mechanical eye of the Regime. The variety of hazardous, dilapidated environments hold an array of obstacles for you to manage—leg-shattering drops (scared of heights?), flaming barrels of garbage (extra-smelly, extra-flamey), inconveniently-placed spike pits (of course), hanging steel beams (so much rust)—but none of this is to speak of the fates of those you meet along the way.

CINEMATIC ADVENTURE - Run, jump, crash, and climb your way through each Arena as the action unfolds around you. Much of the story is unveiled via smoothly integrated animation sequences, within the environment, or from NPCs muttering bits of dialogue as you dive and dodge around them.

ENVIRONMENTAL HUD - Rather than having a screen cluttered with overlaid indicators, HP bars, and minimaps, any information the player will need is incorporated into the environment. Hints and clues are meshed into the game’s art, subtle and specific, players will need a keen eye if they want to survive each Arena without breaking their legs.

BRAIN-BENDING PUZZLES - Use your wits, and at times a dash of ruthlessness, to advance through the Arenas. You’ll have to interact with the environment itself to solve most of the puzzles: use the protagonist’s momentum to move platforms, flip the occasional lever, and sometimes you might have to sacrifice an NPC or two to cross a particularly spiky pit.

TONS OF DARK HUMOR - Featuring lots of impish humor, Grade A sarcasm, and comic mischief, all balanced perfectly with the dark, heavy themes presented in this dystopian world.

### 5/5 — Magnifique

*2026-02-28*

INCROYABLE JEU INDISPENSABLE À VOTRE CULTURE DU GAMEPLAY TOP 1 JEU VIDEO PIXEL ALL TIME DEPUIS STREET FIGHTER

### 5/5 — Great game and story, horrible controls

*2025-09-25, version 1.4*

I love everything about this game… aside from the janky controls. At the most critical moment, the game misunderstands my inputs. 

Still, it’s otherwise perfect

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-03-07*

Man taucht in die dystopische Welt von 1984. Für jeden Liebhaber des Buches kann ich dieses Spiel wärmstens empfehlen, aber auch für jeden Jump and Run Fan. Das Spiel stellt einen vor kniffligen Herausforderungen, aber dennoch macht es Spaß die Level zu wiederholen bis man die richtige Lösung gefunden hat. As a George Orwell Fan I really love it . It is a perfect combination of a action game , fun , music , lovely details in a pixel graphic in a socialist dystopian world. It is my favorite game for smartphone. But please let me know: is there a new game coming out in the future ?

**Developer response:** Thank you for the five star review! We're glad you're enjoying the game!

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-10-06, version 1.4*

This is the most lore filled amazing game I’ve ever ever played

### 3/5 — Fix the controls

*2024-09-22, version 1.4*

Good game. Nice storyline and details. But holy cow do the controls need work. Sometimes they're delayed and it makes you do an extremely late reaction which straight up kills you. Or it wouldn't even register in the first place. Then you have to do the level ALL over again because the movement -and I'm trying to be nice here- genuinely sucks. I was stuck doing this one this for nearly thirty minutes because of the damn movements.

### 5/5 — Пожалуйста, поддерживайте инди-разработчиков

*2024-06-29*

Да, в игре бесплатная только демо версия. В целом же, пробный этап дает полноценное представление о продукте, на который не жалко потратиться. Сама возможность на уровне демо познакомиться со спецификой проекта - уже неплохой подарок. Учитывая непопулярность подобных продуктов, поддержка проекта, особенно - финансовая, просто необходима. Мы, к сожалению, привыкли, что все можно спиратить и получить просто так, однако это в первую очередь труд. Труд разработчиков и просто гениальная работа сценаристов, которая, несомненно, должна быть отмечена оплатой игры. За 600 рублей сегодня можно сходить в кино один раз. Здесь же мы покупаем несколько часов увлекательного сюжета, отличного геймплея и, уже после прохождения, пищу для дальнейших размышлений. Катарсис случился. Игру однозначно советую к покупке.

### 5/5 — На одном дыхании

*2024-04-11*

Довольно долго игра была скачена у меня на телефоне. Летел я из Москвы в Хабаровск, решил запустить. Дальше уже не оторваться. Очень красивая игра, единственное, довольно жидкое управление. С геймпадом играется намного лучше. Игра стоит своих денег 100%. Чувствуется, что сделано с вниманием к мелочам, звуки, картинка, сценарий, всё на высоте. 10 из 10

### 4/5 — Love love love hate

*2024-04-03, version 1.4*

Love the concept love the game love the graphics love the humour love the puzzles love the graphics love the characterisation love the charm. But 

BY GOD I HATE THE CONTROLS.

 Did any of you try playing it before you released them? because omg I’m amazed the glass of my iPhone hasn’t been smashed from throwing it across the room in frustration

### 4/5 — Great game but one problem

*2024-02-24, version 1.4*

I love this game! It has great controls and puzzles, but for some reason, the water is invisible. I don’t get it. I can barely solve a single water puzzle with this issue. Anyways, great game.

### 5/5 — Muy buen juego

*2024-01-18*

Un juego hermoso, los gráficos lindos en 8-bit, la historia, puedes tomar decisiones distintas, encuentras secretos y lo mejor de todo es su soundtrack
