About this game

Chip wants to join the Bit Busters computer club, but first he must pass Melinda the Mental Marvel's initiation test. Across 149 increasingly difficult levels, including hidden stages, guide Chip through tile-based puzzles filled with obstacles and hazards.

Use keys and special shoes to bypass barriers, manipulate switches, and place dirt blocks to build bridges across waterways. Avoid enemy creatures, collect every computer chip, and reach the exit before time runs out.
