Still, for those happy to get their asses handed to them, Chippy is a rock-solid shooter with a great gimmick. And over the coming months, the devs have promised new content and a level editor, which should really extend its lifespan – should you even make it past the first few levels.
Chippy feels incredibly familiar and intuitive and has enough of its own identity to make it worth a look. The challenge on offer is high and will require persistence and practice to master.
