9 itemsAbout the Game

We are a very small game company of two guys from rural Finland. We love making small but juicy arcade games with simple mechanics. Please expect 'Choppa' to be a small, replayable, arcade score-chaser game where the only goals are to constantly beat your previous score by rescuing more people from randomly generated levels and unlock some improved Choppers and upgrades. Please contact us through Twitter, our website or the forums if you encounter something wrong with the game, something misleading on the store page, or you just want to say hello.
Thank you for taking a moment to read this; we really hope you enjoy playing our games.
