Our take on Chippy
The emphasis on leaderboards, replays, and custom stages may suggest a broad competitive offering. The central activity is a focused sequence of boss encounters; the listed variations come from boss phases, campaign difficulty options, powerups, and custom stages.
What is Chippy?
Chippy is a twin-stick bullet-hell shooter about dismantling pixel-based bosses piece by piece.
Players dodge, shoot, slice away sections, and destroy each boss's core. The game has over 14 multi-phase bosses, with Easy and Nightmare versions of each campaign. Powerups offer offensive or defensive options. Leaderboards rank players by completion time, and replays can be sped up, slowed down, or taken over for practice. Steam Workshop support allows custom stages, and local co-op is available for every boss.
