Facepunch Studios – them behind Garry’s Mod, Clatter, and Rust – have simply launched Chippy, a minimalist, vibrant twin-stick bullet hell shoot ’em up. Can a bullet hell actually be referred to as minimalist? I assume that leaves extra room for the precise bullets. I’m additionally guessing it makes some house for all these gigantic bosses Facepunch have left mendacity round in every single place. I most likely may have tacked the phrases ‘boss rush’ on to the opposite two genres, to be honest, however that may have created a hyphenated style cluster the likes of which I’m undecided the world is prepared for. It’s Friday. Friday. Got to expire of imaginative methods to explain games by Friday. Does look good although, doesn’t it? Look at that enormous eye! He appears to be like like he’s simply stepped on somebody’s very small canine. Let’s shoot him for it, mates!
Chippy revolves round 14 multi-part bosses, which gamers must chip away at till finally reaching the core (which I’m pondering these eyeballs may need one thing to do with), and placing them down for good. It sounds, conceptually, like a tackle the screen-filling behemoths you’d get on the finish of basic schmups, solely with out all of the previous little guys.
You’ll be capable to seize your individual replays, in addition to soar into different participant’s. It’s additionally meant to be more durable than a deep fried eyeball, which is metaphor I got here up with by combining the phrase ‘eyeball’ with the phrase ‘chippy’. It’s Friday and so on. You’ll die lots, and Facepunch will snigger at you for it from their tiny bunker, however you then’ll get higher, accumulate some powerups, and mess these huge pixelated monstrosities proper up.
You should purchase Chippy on Steam for £10.25/€11.24/$13.49, which features a 10% launch week low cost.
