How it feels

A cheerful, retro arcade brawler where you punch squirrel bandits as a chipmunk martial arts master in short, local co-op sessions.

What players say

Chipmonk! is a Golden Axe homage where players beat up forest animals as chipmunks. Players say it copies Golden Axe's controls and structure but lacks its polish, with stiff hitboxes and a punishing difficulty spike before the final boss. Opinion is split: some enjoy the retro nostalgia and local co-op, while others find it mind-numbingly repetitive with ugly visuals and no online play.
