Oh Chute!

Oh Chute! game box

You are Ron Danger, stunt person and extreme sports enthusiast. You just can’t get enough of sky-diving, but the local helicopter pilots have had it with your antics and are out to get you… It’s up to you to show them who’s boss!

Choose one of four different levels of varying difficulty and see how long you can survive. Sky-diving is hard enough alone, but those darned pilots aren’t going to make it any easier for you. Keep an eye on their movement and choose the right time to open your ‘chute and manoeuvre to one of the designated landing zones.

Oh Chute started its life as an homage to the game Rip Cord by exidy that you can still play online. In 2022, Chris had the idea to remake it from scratch for the Amstrad Plus line of computers. In the process of this, the game was greatly expanded, with enhanced physics, enhanced music and sound effects, an extra level and a 2-player competitive mode. What started off somewhat as a learning exercise to get to grips with the 8-bit machine spiralled and turned into a full game with physical cartridge release, playable on Amstrad GX4000, 464 Plus and 6128 Plus.

Digital copies are available on itch.io and physical copies are available by e-mailing contact@teamgiraffe.co.uk.
