Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.

BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
Roguelike deckbuilder (if that makes sense) built around standard playing cards and jokers, where you play poker hands to earn chips, in order to win rounds and keep advancing. Games play quick, so it's a great one to have on the go on the Switch or Steam Deck. Has a ton of replay value with the amount of new content you can unlock as you play, the combos that the jokers can make, the different modified decks, the ways you can manipulate the deck, the "stakes" (difficulty levels) etc.
Remember many a snow day home from school trying to beat this one. I played it for years before it dawned on me that there wasn't a "jump" button. The bionic arm is such a fun mechanic.
Played it on the SNES, and it made me seek out the other games. Definitely a niche area in gaming, but a must play if you're into (really) old school dungeon crawlers.
Very fun roguelike "bullet heaven" where you do the shooting in order to keep the monsters off of you. Lots of unlockable characters, weapons and accessories that help you to progress further. The fanservice paying homage to older games is a nice touch.
