Chickey Chick, formerly known as Chipke Alpha version, is a platform game where you have to guide a chick through level after level of dangerous enemies. It is inspired by the classic New Zealand Story from Taito created in 1988.
This homebrew is made by DrWho198, an extra option of a level editor is included especially for version 0.7sb, which was released for the coding contest.
It was participated in the Scenery Beta 2008 (PSP Games, 2nd place).
User guide
Gameplay
The aim of the game is to clear the screen of enemies. When all enemies are killed then you advance to the next level where you will face a new set of enemies. Every new level will be more challenging. More difficult creatures will emerge and new worlds will be explored.
You can attack the enemies by throwing eggs that you pick up on screen. When an enemy is hit, it will dissapear and you will be rewarded with fruit. This fruit can be collected for extra points.
Every last level of a world it will contain a key. This key will emerge after a while, after which you have a short time to reach for it before it dissapears again. If you manage to take the key then you will be rewarded with a chest of golden coins at the end of the level.
After every level that you clears, all remaining eggs will turn to gold. Yet again these are for you to collect to gain points.
To your defence you can jump on top of enemies, this will stun them for a moment and you can run away to safer grounds or plan an attack on the stunned enemy.
An extra life will be rewarded at 12,000 and 24,000 points.
