Chip

Chips are integrated circuits that often stand between Murphy and his objectives. They represent solid barriers placed to restrict access, but they are not indestructible. A way through them can be negotiated by using explosions.

In level design, RAM Chips frequently serve as conditional gates. They create sections that feel sealed off until the player engineers a controlled blast, turning destructive force into a tool of progress. Without explosions they are as impenetrable as hardware.

Despite their rectangular shape they are considered to be rounded. Infotrons and zonks roll off them.

Variety

Chips most commonly appear as small 1x1 square and rectangular 2x1 and 1x2 integrated circuits. However rarely bigger chips can be encountered.
