He can only see in one direction at a time, this is partially due to his squared eyes, only 4 - 9 tiles in a direction, and never diagonally. He can't directly see what's around him all the time, but his Chipey senses keep going off, which project in his head a mental image of what is around him (very useful senses, and very nice of them to always be availible). In fact, when playing through puzzles, he has his eyes closed most of the time, as they're not very reliable.
What the player sees when playing Chip's Challenge, is essentially a representation of what Chip can see through his mind via his Chipey senses. The player's moves are a representation of Chip's response to what he sees through his mind.
He keeps looking at the player because he can actually see you looking at him, and he keeps wondering what kind of world he's in, where a giant person keeps staring at him through a rectangular opening in the roof, and imitating his movements by pressing the directional keys. Chip keeps thinking this giant is just obsessed with him, but anyways, why is that giant there? What gives it access to the other side of the clubhouse's roof? Does Melinda know about this? Is she ok with it? (These are Chip's questions, not mine).
How does Chip erase a tile of dirt, way bigger than his feet, slightly before he steps on it, in less than a milisecond? Why doesn't his shoes end up collecting so much dirt, enough to create a dirt path wherever he goes when he's done stepping on dirt? Does dirt on his shoes ruin complex electric things he steps on (like force floors, teleports, or the exit)?
