Repeated intro
Hello everyone ! We've been too quiet for some time now, but be sure this was for the best. We were working hard on a big update for the game. Indeed, we've just updated CHOP to Beta 1.0.6, adding a whole bunch of new features, bug fixes and gameplay improvements. Including a brand new game mode called Last Survivor, a new playable character, Steam achievements, new SFXs and remixed OST, even more game customization options, new bonuses throughout the different game modes, and it goes on and on...
Good news for Mac and Linux users
CHOP is now available on these platforms, for those who have a beta key !
LAST SURVIVOR
No portals here. Everyone starts the game with the same amount of lives. You loose one every time you die. Once you've no lives left, you're eliminated. To win, you must have the highest kill count. Be careful, you lose points if you accidentally commit suicide.

Good news for Mac and Linux users : CHOP is now available on these platforms, for those who have a beta key ! LAST SURVIVOR : No portals here. Everyone starts the game with the same amount of lives.

addedASHE (The aborted experiment) : CHOP's new character Ashe enters the fray ! After a career in the military, this fierce warrior has been contaminated with a mysterious parasite. Lurking in the shadow, she now works on spreading the gruesome virus on the planet.
addedSteam achievements : We just added 50 Steam achievements for you guys to unlock ! New Grab Kill : This is what soccer would look like in CHOP's universe !
addedNew game customization and bonuses : As of now, you have the possibility to add invicibility frames when your character spawns, if you want to forbid spawn kills. You can also disable the auto aim, this is for the Pro Gamers... Some new bonuses are available :
fixedMusic and sound design : We were not satisfied enough with the audio of the game. Indeed, the first sound effects were made by Bastien who's really not an expert in this field ^^ So all the sounds have been reworked by our talented Sound Designer, Cédric. Also, we thought that the musics could benefit from an extra kick. That's why Benjamin remixed the entire soundtrack, with much more emphasis on the heavy metal vibe and composed two brand new tracks ! On top of all, we've fixed a lot of bugs and improved performances across the game. Oh, and we've added French translation. General
addedNew game mode
