El Stompo
In this puzzle-platformer game, you must help the TV Stomper fix every TV in the galaxy after a solar flare has wiped them out. Progress through 35 colourful levels stomping on TV sets to repair them. Fall through yellow tiles. Repair every TV on the screen to win through.
Starting a Game
NOTE - If a controller is being used, the default key bindings should not be changed.

Gameplay
Move the Stomper around the environment, avoiding patrolling enemies. Use the Stomp key to interact with different tiles. The Stomper must stomp on every TV set in the level to progress.
If a level enters a state where it is unsolvable, press the Reset Level button to restart from the beginning of it.
If any creature falls off the bottom of the level’s screen, it will re-appear at the top of the screen and continue falling until it lands on a walkable tile.
Items
There are a variety of items and interactable objects throughout El Stompo:
- TVs
- TV sets can be found throughout each level. The Stomper must stomp on top of each TV set in the level to progress. Once a TV set has been fixed, it will turn from displaying static to a random TV channel.
- Yellow Tiles
- The Stomper can stomp on top of a yellow tile to shatter it. The tile will remain broken unless the level is reset. When a Stomper breaks a tile, it will fall below.
- Green Tiles
- Green tiles can be walked over three times before breaking.
- Lever
- Levers can be interacted with by any creature in a level by moving over it. Levers can be connected to platforms or trap doors in the current level.
Story
The television, a remarkable piece of kit, bringing education and enlightenment to the masses. Whether a family of four from Croydon, or a hive of inter dimensional spring-folk from Klaxxon 5, the idiot box is just as relevant to them now as it was in 1953, when every young blob gathered to watch Princess Splaygrove in colour for the first time.
And of course it’s not all HDMI and LED black-stretching on the outer rim. There are many planets still reliant on bulky CRT, with Earth transmissions from 1984 only just reaching them. They’re not exactly reliable sets, but they work… after a hefty whack.
And that’s your job. You’re a Stomper, and wherever there’s a dodgy set, you’ll be there to jump up and down on it until the picture comes back.
Work has been sporadic for a few months now and it was looking as though you’d need to hire yourself out as a space-hopper to get in some extra pennies, when suddenly… the solar flares hit. Every TV set, and I mean EVERY set on each of the 35 planets went down. And you are the only Stomper still in the phone book.
