Chipper

Description

Chipper is a 3D collection based platformer in the style of Banjo-Kazooie. The player plays as a robot who has crash landed on an asteroid flying through space. The game was developed using a custom game engine made from C++. Note: Due to known graphical issues on AMD cards that our graphics programmer had neither the time nor the experience to fix, we have not released this game for download.
