This would be a good mobile-style puzzle game if it weren't for a few annoying issues.
The mouse-click control is terribly unresponsive. You can think you did a particular action, but if you didn't click it just right it will not respond; this becomes a menace when trying to beat the very tight time goals. (According to other reviews, the responsiveness used to be even worse.) It's probably a problem with the way the game engine handles click events.
The config menu for controls allows for a very slight change (switching scroll from right button to left button), but the labels are mixed up on the menu. And sometimes when you go back to the title screen the buttons are shifted off the bottom of the screen.
The game is probably better on a touch screen like an Android tablet or an iPad. I'm using a Windows desktop so I don't have much chance of finding out.
The puzzle and graphics are cute, but using only the one mouse button to control the item you select to either move it, or to turn is very annoying, even remapping keys w a s d, just moves the screen not the item you want to move. Hard to decide yes or no on this but because it annoys me more than i get enjoyment out of it. I will say no all though the game is good in many ways. Just not what I expected in gameplay. Maybe on mobile device this would work a lot better than on PC/Laptop.
(Important note: This doesn't get along with Windows scaling very well. Best to temporarily set Windows display scaling to 100% when going fullscreen in this)
This is a fun, cute, and polished puzzler at a good price. If you're going for completion, expect to get ~5-10 hours out of Chip. The visuals and audio are very well done. Excellent overall direction and presentation.
In general, the puzzle difficulty ranges, randomly, from mellow to medium with a ~1ish% of the puzzles being quite challenging. There's enough puzzle pandamonium here to be charming without making you want to pull your hair out.
GREAT brainteasing puzzles. Now make it so that I can actually click things fast enough to solve the puzzles. There is a problem with the controls for the game. many times timing is the key to solving puzzles. If you can't click the blocks to move them in time then you can't solve it. My son and I tried many many times knowing the solution but being unable to actualize it because the game wouldn't let us click the blocks fast enough.
I would honestly LOVE to give this a thumbs up, but the controls are a real deal breaker guys, sorry.
Love this game. Sure it has its cons: the item-mouse interaction is sometimes not responsive (yet always seems to be fine when the timer is active), the screen rez is small with no way to change, and there are no potatoes. However, the way the devs include various solutions to certain levels is beautiful. Other games have done this (hitman GO, quell series, etc.) and I LOVE IT whenever they do. I must mention though that I think Chip's model of multiple solutions is by far the best I have seen. One of the biggest reasons is the more difficult solutions for levels with multiple solutions are the solutions needed to get the bags of coins and presents. These are prefeal items that only benefit you anesthesiatically, yet they require a big cognitive load of the gamer. The irony is ironically ironic. Buy the damn game FOOS!!!!
This puzzle game has a steady introduction of puzzle mechanics that leads to an occasionally frustrating, but overall satisfying puzzle experience.
- The puzzles on this game are well designed and most have solutions that, while requiring careful planning, are not dependent on hidden game mechanics. The majority of puzzles have at least one solution which doesn't require ninja reflexes, and level unlocks are partially based on cumulative progress, so even if you don't have the eyes of an eagle and the arms of a praying mantis, you should be able to view all the cutscenes.
- The payouts for level completion are generous, so obtaining a variety of outfits for your character(s) is relatively easy, but there are unlockables that require alternate puzzle solves. Overall the gameplay is enjoyable and should provide solid puzzling on the first pass-through while leaving a fair bit of non-grindy content for a second run (although those seeking 100% acheivements will likely find a few levels that will require a great many consecutive refreshes to memorize and complete the speed, treasure, or special solve).
[*]The in-line tutorial has a fair progression introducing new mechanics in the levels that first require them, but as this is a precision speed-clicker, even after you have played for several hours you will almost certainly find yourself clicking a few pixels off of the mark now and again; which in certain puzzles requiring split-bullet-time-timing will cost you a level restart. This problem is exacerbated on certain levels and menu items by the poor UI scaling that occurs at certain resolutions.
What I didn't like:
As a completionist, the most annoying thing about this game was that on levels that had tutorial pop-ups, they trigger every time you replay the level with no option to disable them. This was especially frustrating on a few levels that had timing elements to the puzzle and would trigger pop-ups in the middle of the solve, requiring players to click to clear the pop-up, then race the cursor across the screen to trigger the next step. A mis-click would necessitate a reset to acheive the speed clear or other condition(and also reset the tutorial pop-ups).
At the time of review I have played 8.4 hours.
Kind of fun for a bit. Controls can get frustrating and are a bit unresponsive as others have noted. The game was clearly made with love, but it lost my interest after about 25 levels. Games like this make me wonder if I have a short attention span, value my time more now, or just don't care much for puzzle games. I would give it a neutral review.
It's a really fun puzzle game. It's easy to learn the concepts, but it can get quite challenging once they're all thrown in the same level.
The game has never run properly for me however, with some of the menu and level selection screens not showing up. But I think this issue affects only a very small number of people. I was still able to enjoy the game despite this.
Hey everyone and this is my review about the game!
This is a Puzzle game.
Interface/Menu/Settings
You are able to play the game in fullscreen or windowed mode.
All resolution sizes are available.
You are only able to toggle the sound and music. No Volume slidebars available.
You are able to customize your character the way you want too.
About the game.
The game is very simple. You click on a cannon to fire an energy ball. This energy ball has to reach the robot in order to complete the level. The energy ball is able to bounce off from walls in order to reach the robot. The ball speed is pretty slow which could give you enough time to think.
Each level has 3 light bulbs/Stars. This depends on how many moves you spend, How fast you do and the normal completion. The light bulbs are needed to unlock other levels.
You are able to unlock other characters. But it is only for the looks. NO PURPOSES!
There are collectables, which i find totally unnecessary and might ruin the game.
You can change the looks for your character.
There is some kind of story line.
Game is very repetitive.
Has many levels.
Other things.
The puzzle is okay. It has to be your kind of taste.
-------------------
I Give this game a 5/10
It's a cute little puzzle game with a lot of potential, but the horrible controls are a dealbreaker.
If one click doesn't respond - what sadly happenes way too often - you can't finish the level in time and have to start over.
This game is awesome. The gamer must thinking to play this game. The puzzle can make the gamer smart. Nice game.
I have already posted a negative review on this game because of the horrible controls. And i have deleted it. Don't really like that updated review will still be somewhere on the bottom of the list. Also i want to do it justice. Developers of this game are super cool for supporting their game long after the release and trying to find a way to please all the gamers. Controls are now WAY better than they were (now it actually selects tiles, not the objects on the tiles and there is a visual cue what object will be selected if you click your mouse button, also they've added more alternate controls options). For such great support only they deserve a Yes.
The game itself is a mix of puzzle and speed. I don't really like the speed element, especially when the puzzle element itself can be mind boggling alone, and then you have to do all very fast. But that's just me. And you can still do just puzzles, if you don't want to earn every star (sorry, light bulb) on a level. Artistic style is cartoonish and pleasant. There is also a shop in the game to spend your dollars earned for completing the levels and doing extra bonus things on some levels. You can buy outfits for your characters :) It's a bit silly, but still, you are using those points you are collecting, not just playing for the highscore and if you are a completionist it may be fun to buy all the outfits and complete some achievements along. All in all a little pretty puzzle game with a nice support. But if you don't like the speed element, maybe you should skip it or play just the puzzle parts, though many of them still require to move objects in time.
There are point and click issues, but other than that the game is fun for puzzle lovers.
Note: They should really fix the point/click/drag issue, it's getting annoying from mis-clicking to beat the timer.
Great game for when you're just not in the mood for regular games. Chip brings loads of maps with a lot of variety and pretty addictive like you would expect from a puzzle game.
This is a pretty good puzzler
If you're into challenging puzzles this is definitely the game for you.
The characters look awesome!
You can dress them up with the accessories in the shop which you purchase using currency that you win when you solve puzzles and you get a fair ammount so that you can unlock something new every couple games or so.
The gameplay is simple. You just point and click. Move objects around to navigate a ball of energy to hit Chip and wake him up.
I've only played a few levels so far and the puzzles are pretty easy in the beggining which allows you to get the hang of how the game works.
If you are a prefectionist however it will be pretty challenging beating the clock (beating the clock isnt necessary in order to beat the level).
I expect that itll be harder since you will be moving obstacles here and there to prevent the evergy ball from hitting the obstacles as you navigate it across the level to Chip the robot.
-------------
One thing about this game that kind of pisses me off is that whenever I click on an object its like the game doesnt detect my clicks until the 2nd or 3rd time I click. This leads to misclicks and that leads to not being able to beat the clock.
-----------
Other than that the game is great for people who love puzzle games. It's fairly cheap and a nice simple game to play and kill some time with if you're bored.
The artwork is amazing, but do not let it fool you. The game starts off easy, three starring every level, but the diffculty increases very rapidly.
If you like puzzle games and completing things to perfection this game is for you.
Good luck to all trying to 100% this game :D
Chip is a well-made game and I would happily recommend the game to anyone at this price. This is a great game for the price it is at. Well worth my money =)
Chip is a fun and clever game that's easy to sink several hours into. Gets quite challenging after a while so I would happily recommend this to any puzzle enthusiast!
Played this at Insomnia51 and couldn't wait to get it on Steam!
Intuitive but challenging with likeable characters and a lovely style. Chip is well worth your time!
I've played an hour and a half of Chip so far, and it's great! Don't be fooled by the cutesy graphics though, it gets REALLY HARD the longer you play. Lots of fun and full of character though.
If you like puzzles, indie games, and charming characters, I highly recommend this. Well worth the cheap price. :)
Played it for a couple of hours, and could quite happily put a few more into it. Fun game, nice graphics, solid gameplay and challenging puzzles. Over all worth a buy.
