Description
The gluttonous gray squirrel has stolen all the land's food stores, threatening the forest’s inhabitants with starvation. Embark on a perilous journey as a chipmunk warrior — Grey, Cheeks or Red — as you battle a multitude of foes in a heroic attempt to recover the stolen food. Go nuts and fill your cheeks! Chipmonk! is a throwback to the popular late 80s game genre known as Beat ‘em up. Inspired by classics such as Golden Axe, Battletoads, and Streets of Rage (Bare Knuckle in Japan), Chipmonk! features local multiplayer, multiple playable characters, an assortment of villains, and a retro pixel aesthetic. Although Chipmonk! includes many hallmarks of the genre, it also introduces a variety of new moves, challenges, and quirks.
History
The idea of Chipmonk! originated after revisiting Golden Axe in our second childhood. In late 2017, we asked ourselves, "Why aren't there more games like this?" It wasn't long after, the development of Chipmonk! began.
The game was released on itch.io for Windows and macOS, on October 26th 2018.
The game was released on Steam for Windows and macOS, on November 20th 2019.
v2.0, featuring a 2nd unlockable adventure, was released on June 2021.
Features
