Chippy

Control a ship in a top-down bullet-hell shooter where the main opponents are pixel-built bosses. Dodge their attacks and shoot to chip away at their bodies, detaching sections as you fight.

Bosses have multiple phases and parts to target; some components must be destroyed before you can damage the core. Choose offensive or defensive power-ups, and take on the campaigns in Easy or Nightmare versions.

Improve your completion times and compete on leaderboards, or watch and practice from player replays, which can be adjusted or hijacked. The game also supports local co-op for every boss and custom stages through Steam Workshop.

Players who enjoy Chippy often praise the satisfaction of dismantling bosses piece by piece and working out a strategy or faster route through each fight. Some also value the replay and leaderboard features for learning and improving their times, and mention the music. Reactions to the challenge are divided: while some find it engaging, others describe the bullet patterns and later fights as overwhelming or unfair.
