Sokoban Meets Chip's Challenge

I love this game. It's basically Sokoban meets Chip's Challenge, sorta. The dialogue is amusing, if a bit corny at times, and the puzzles get really hard over time. I managed to 100% the game in 16 hours, though admittedly when I got to the mansion I caved and started asking for hints occasionally. My brain hurts... in a good way.

That said, it bugs me that I can't enter the Mansion's Treasury or the locked door behind the counter in the shop. Am I missing something? I've grabbed everything else I can possibly get in the entire game. I even have 860 coins left over after buying everything in the shop.

I agree with you totally, the game is very fun to play granted you like puzzle games. They could have made the game slightly more varied by adding mini games to the locked doors where you had to use the pro thief kit but i certainly enjoyed myself with the game. It still has the occasional bugs but they are not game breaking.
If only more games like this one were produced..

It took me 11.5 hours to get to 100%, took a couple of hints on certain puzzles and even with hints they are pretty harsh at times (the one behind the locked door in the mansion... damn..) in the end i had about 1200 coins left if i remember correctly.

I also like to know if we ever get to see the treasury or what's behind Harvey but my guess it will remain a secret.

All in all a Brawsome game! (yes, i went there)

Thanks for the comments guys, great to hear! I had Chip's Challenge on my Lynx, back in the day. It came free with the handheld, but was still one of the most engrossing games on there.

Chip's challenge was one of the best puzzle games ever.

I just finished this game, it was really good and definitely worth the money. There's more content than you think

I wish they'd put some of the later puzzles in the demo. It looks good in the videos but I played the demo to completion and it didn't especially grab me. I think it's basically just the beginning of the game? After the first few levels teaching me to play I would have liked to have seen some of the more challenging levels.
