The value story
It has never been cheaper than $4.49. That was September 2023. It has been discounted 46 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
Value puts it in the top 13 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 81 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Waves (free, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Blackout Z: Slaughterhouse Edition ($4.99, scores 42).
Of the 376 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 222 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 428 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 39 percent of everything written about it.
At 12.2 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
It's really fun to be able to take bosses apart piece by piece as you dodge and weave around their attacks.

Chippy is a fairly challenging game, which is where a lot of the fun comes from for me. Slowly working to defeat a boss is way more enticing to me than fighting a...
The game is good in general, but as the difficulty rises, the levels are not well thought out. The later levels feel like random chaos, and the game becomes more about luck than skill.
it was fun for a while but some of the bosses are just broken hard, the medusa's diamond attack can happen with 3 directions at once ONTOP of other attacks and it just can't be reasonably done. i keep losing and i'm in the top 40% so i know it isn't just me. LOSING is putting me in the top 40%
