Co-op

Chippy's redux update introduced a local, cooperative 2-player mode. It allows an additional, controller-connected ship to fight alongside the main one, with each having a separate powerup pool.

Choosing this mode has several additional effects:

• There are separate leaderboards for 2-player fights.
• Player guns deal 10% less damage to pixels, and 28% less damage to parts.
• If one player is defeated, a respawn pod appears 9 seconds later. The lasting player can destroy the pod to revive their partner, but if they go down as well, the stage ends in a game over.
• A few enemies have additional attacks that exploit the presence of two players.

Trivia

• The player 2 ship was originally pink, due to it having a feminine design. However, its hull became green to avoid confusion with harmful pink bullets.
