Before Chip can join the Bit Busters computer club and hang out with the girl of his dreams, Melinda the Mental Marvel, he must solve all 144 challenging puzzles. Your bird's-eye view can help Chip rush through the puzzles and mazes before he's deleted by monsters, traps and the passage of time.
Chip's Challenge is the Dark Souls of tile-based puzzles, except with "Bummer!" instead of "You died!".
It doesn't care about this "user quality of life" thing. Checkpoints? Mid-level saves? Hahaha, you'll do your grunt work all over again every time you die — over and over — and you'll like it, because CC1 is a rite of passage for puzzle game afic...
Needs a save-state option because most of the later levels are designed to be a long tedious slog where one mistake means you have to start over. Some levels it takes 5 minutes just to scope it out first to figure out what you need to do, since there's no panning, and then could be up to 15 minutes of pushing blocks around plus retries. That one thing...
This has been a fun and challenging game. I am so glad it is on Steam so that Steam users can partake of a game that has been around since the MS-DOS days. The game demands strategy, critical thinking, perseverance, patience, dodging abilities and careful planning.
A classic. Takes me back to the days of playing the game on Windows 3.1. Great puzzle platformer. So grateful to have the ability to play this game again.
One of my favorite games as a child and I still love it.
