As Chip's Challenge features pushable [[block]]s which can clear otherwise deadly [[water]], it lends itself well to [[Sokoban]]-style levels. [[Castle Moat]] is a more traditional Sokoban: numerous blocks are crammed into tight corridors and require careful thought to extract. [[Pier Seven]] has relatively simple block pushing; the puzzle is figuring out ''where'' the given number of blocks will reach the center island. [[Iceberg]] and [[Arcticflow]] feature a series of small islands in icy waters to traverse. [[Oversea Delivery]] requires teleporting four blocks through a series of islands without losing any to the sea, while [[On the Rocks]] practically invites a player to fill it in. [[Writers Block]], [[Cityblock]], and [[Pain]] are infamous for the incredible amount of precise block maneuvering required. | As Chip's Challenge features pushable [[block]]s which can clear otherwise deadly [[water]], it lends itself well to [[Sokoban]]-style levels.

Redirection of [[monster]]s by taking advantage of their simple behavior is another common theme. [[Metastable to Chaos]] asks the player to disrupt a choreographed dance of [[bug]]s by introducing [[block]]s, and [[Lemmings]] is a similar idea with rings of [[fireball]]s. [[Traffic Cop]] has the player direct a [[ | Redirection of [[monster]]s by taking advantage of their simple behavior is another common theme.

[[Traffic Cop]] has the player direct a stream of [[walker]]s across the entirety of the level to press a button. "Underground" levels like [[Digger]], [[Digdirt]], [[Spooks]], and [[Underground]] require carefully directing monsters away from the player while digging through a large area of [[dirt]]. | ||
Unlike Sokoban and similar turn-based puzzle games, Chip's Challenge plays out in real time, so dodging monsters adds an extra twist. [[Ping Pong]], [[Problems]], and [[Bounce City]] offer some relatively simple tasks, but require that they be done while dodging rows of [[pink ball]]s. [[Beware of Bug]] consists of tight corridors that require quick recognition of where a monster will go. | Unlike Sokoban and similar turn-based puzzle games, Chip's Challenge plays out in real time, so dodging monsters adds an extra twist.
