About Chipmonk!
Chipmonk! is a retro-inspired Beat 'em up starring chipmunk warriors!
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 martial arts master — Grey, Cheeks or Red — as you battle a multitude of foes in a heroic attempt to recover the stolen food.
Are you nutty enough to take on this venture?

- 1 - 2 player local co-op: Go it alone or team up with a friend.
- 3 playable characters: Play as Grey, Cheeks, or Red - each possessing their own strengths and weaknesses.
- Multiple game modes: Embark on the classic adventure, battle an endless onslaught of goons, and more!
- Retro pixel aesthetic: Look at the size of those pixels!
- Easy to pickup: See how far you can get mashing buttons or master an assortment of more advanced moves.
- Beat 'em up nostalgia: Inspired by classic Beat ’em ups such as Golden Axe, Battletoads, and Streets of Rage/Bare Knuckle.
NOTE: Controller or 2-button mouse recommended

[h1] Fighting Chipmunks [/h1] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2829264254 [h1] STORY [/h1] Our heroes fight against other forest inhabitants, made in the form of medieval fighters. [h1] GAMEPLAY [/h1] The gameplay is a side scroll slasher. You can fight alone, in co-op on a shared screen, or against a player on a shared screen. The game is divided into stages. At the end of each of them there is either a boss or special opponents. The hero has a fairly large supply of opportunities for passing. Three lives and six attempts to continue the game. Thus, a total of 18 lives. I liked the enemies. They are colorful with special attacks, they can throw the hero and in general - they require a thoughtful approach and a quick reaction. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2829264066 Consider the pros and cons of the game, sum up. [h1] PROS: [/h1] + Simple yet stylish graphics. + Good music and sound accompaniment. + Good combat system, dynamic fights. + A variety of enemies with different combat techniques. There are bosses. + You can play co-op (or PVP) on one computer. [h1] CONS: [/h1] - Not detected. [h1] CONCLUSIONS [/h1] A great game …26 found this helpful
[h3]Redwall meets Golden Axe in a furocious melee featuring a woodland variety of vicious streetfighters.[/h3] First things first, I have a tender spot in my heart for the olden days of beat em ups. Games were simpler when all you had to do was traverse a slightly repetitive landscape while beating up your local variety of stereotypical monsters. Golden Axe was a shining example of how unleashing a group of relentless murder hobos upon an unsuspecting (preferably evil) adversary works surprisingly well to enhance an evening with your friends crouched around a monitor. The fact that this is a small indie project heralding back to the olden days is a vibrant feather in the cap for me. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3298479961 Enter Chipmonk!, a spiritual successor of that primordial game with a, in my humble opinion, far superior theme and setting. This time around you play as a trio of more or less nourished chipmunks seeking bloody vengeance upon the dastardly gray squirrel who have laid claim to the land's food stores. The game is more or less what you would expect from a rodent take on Golden Axe and hacking and slashing your way through rats, beavers and …10 found this helpful

best ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game i ever played holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥
I really wanted to like this game, you can tell the author has a fetish for golden axe, the gameplay and level structure are very similar. The graphics are made of huge ugly pixel that look better on the background than on the characters. There's a bit of poetry in the backgrounds that look a bit like something you'd see in an old Amiga shareware, but the characters look very ugly. The music is a MIDI monstrosity with very low quality samples. The scenario, ah well, there's no scenario, no texts no dialogs no nothing, just sprites hitting each other without a pretext, it's like watching an old silent slapstick movie. The gameplay is not very good, with 2 actions and a jump (I had to find the buttons by myself). When you're in front of an enemy, it's a coin throw to know who will get to hit the other first. Sometimes the enemies just appear by dashing from the borders of the screen, potentially getting a free hit on you. The whole game, from what I've seen is rather repetitive and short (probably less than one hour for completing a run). But what really seals the thumb down is that there is no save and as soon as you've lost all your continues, you're good to start over. This is a…
All of the superficial elements of Golden Axe, none of the depth.
