Chippy & Noppo

Co op and multiplayer games are my favorite thing. Ever since I was a kid, my two little brothers and I were finding ways to play even single player games together. In [i]Crash Bandicoot Warped[/i], I'd play the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzeovOsPGOs]Orient Express levels[/url], since my brother's reflexes weren't as good, while he would do the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXLLt9IoxqU] Road Crash [/url] 'cause I could never get first place. We'd play [i]Need for Speed Underground[/i] and share tips for certain races, or show off our cars. Gaming has ALWAYS been a shared experience for me, so I'm naturally drawn to whatever 4-player friendslop, or 2-player adventures I can find. And luckily, I have a husband and friends who indulge me in whatever new thing I find. [i] Chippy and Noppo [/i] is one such thing. It's a cute co-op game, despite being rough around the edges. It's a game about two tiny workers in a toy factory, who have to cooperate to assemble block-like toys. The story itself is super simple and minimal, since the main draw is the puzzle element itself: spatial orientation, the ability to plan out and think in advance. And think and plan you reeee…

simple silly co-op fun it gets a bit thinky at times and i really wish the undo system was baked into a menu instead of finding a switch half-way across a stage

Chippy & Noppo is a delightful cooperative puzzle-platformer that turns simple teamwork into the foundation of a genuinely charming and engaging adventure. Developed by peakvox and O-TWO inc. and published by O-TWO inc., the game combines colorful toy-factory aesthetics with clever environmental puzzles that constantly encourage communication and coordination between players. While the overall concept may appear straightforward at first, the game steadily introduces enough creativity and mechanical variety to keep the experience consistently enjoyable from beginning to end. The story and setting are intentionally lighthearted, focusing on two adorable characters working together inside elaborate toy-making facilities. Chippy and Noppo each possess different physical traits and abilities that naturally shape how puzzles are approached. Chippy is small, agile, and capable of fitting into narrow spaces or operating lower machinery, while Noppo is taller and better suited for reaching elevated platforms and interacting with larger mechanisms. Nearly every puzzle revolves around combining these strengths effectively, creating a strong sense of interdependence between the two characters…

I absolutely love this game. It's soooooo cute and polished and there is so much content.

Great co-op game.

This game is janky in almost all of its aspects. The platforming just feels off, and that combined with the limited camera positions, it can be annoying. Speaking of which, the camera only has a fixed number of positions, and there were many times where that made it difficult to figure out how certain blocks should be positioned in the model you're tasked with building. With regards to the carrying and positioning of the blocks and pieces, they're unfortunately fiddly. There's a button for picking up (which is the same for dropping) the piece, a button for raising the piece up, and another button for lowering the piece down from the lifted position. It feels unecessarily complicated. Also, if you pick up a piece that's of a certain size or bigger, then that character will move incredibly slowly unless the other character also starts carrying the piece. Also, if you're carrying a piece that's heavy, you can't jump very high until the other character starts helping. With all that said, many of the puzzles will require you to assemble something on a high place OR construct a very tall thing, and considering the awkward carrying controls, it can lead to frustration. Also, expe…
