Chipke Alpha version - non-scrolling platformer - Image 1 Chipke Alpha version - non-scrolling platformer - Image 2 


Homebrew developer DrWho198 dropped by QJ.NET PSP Development Forum and announced the alpha version release of his first non-scrolling platformer. It was written in Lua because the coder wanted to prove to everyone that the said programming language can create a decent game. And after trying this game out we have to say that he has proven his point.

The homebrew game doesn't have an official name yet but its XMB icon shows that its intended name is Chipke. Anyway, the objective of the game is for your character (which is a chick) to clear the stage of enemies. You can do so by picking up magical eggs (they spawn on the platform) and throwing them at the enemies.

Of course, killing enemies will reward you with some items that will increase your points even further if you are able to pick them up before they disappear. The eggs which were not picked up will eventually be hatched and turn into enemies (turtles, monkeys, etc).

Once you've cleared the stage, all remaining eggs will be turned into gold. Pick them up before you get warped to the next level. DrWho198 added that there's still a lot of coding to be done in this game and he intends to release a much-refined version in the future.

the main character is not an ordinary chick actually but a kiwi chick, and more specifically the kiwi from the wonderful game new zealand story.
