About Forehead Chip
Forehead Chip is a sci-fi pixel-art platformer set in Arca City, a utopia coming apart. You play as Chip, a young recruit in the Implant Corps, tasked with restoring order by capturing Holdouts. Capture the most to win, and prove yourself worthy of the coveted, one-of-a-kind Forehead Chip.
Capture Holdouts
Use tactics and precision to manage your supply of implant bullets in combat. Capture enemies rather than destroying them, and wield weapons with distinct controls. You can fuse your ammunition by injecting logic capsules that change its behavior. Your Sergeant and Commander offer tips as you take on enemies and obstacles.
Explore Arca City
Visit four districts and interact with characters from across the city's societal divide. Your choices shape Arca City's future, with multiple paths and endings to unlock. You can conquer and dominate, or pursue another path, while competing to claim the Forehead Chip.
Game modes
- Single-player Campaign: follow different paths and discover multiple endings.
- Two-player couch co-op: capture Holdouts alongside another player.
- Up-to-eight-player multiplayer: play PvP or in teams.
Enemies and abilities
The game features more than 50 types of enemies to fight and capture. You can also unlock new abilities and game modes.
Music
A retro synthwave soundtrack features over 20 tracks.
