CHUCHEL

Update: I finished the game & its same the same all the way through as a few other reviewer’s stated, it’s more like a cartoon your watching, also kind of short compared to the other games.. It’s a good game, but.. I thought it would be more challenging & engaging like the other IOS games so I didn’t hesitate to buy it. I noticed it says ages 4 & up, well now I know why, it definitely feels more like a kids game to me. I wish I had waited before purchasing this one to make sure it was like the games I love to play, Botanica is still my favorite, I love how you can interact with every object whereas in this game you kinda poke & have 2 or 3 choices, & that feel like a challenge to me I guess.

I have played all of the Amanita games. Samorost 3 is one of my all time favorite games. I loved Machinarium, though I did encounter some annoying bugs, and Botanicula is a classic. This game however is not up to par. The music and sound is very reminiscent of Loco Roco a cute PSP game from a decade ago. The artwork is quaint and fun so I gave it two stars. The gameplay is flat. I really wanted to love this game. I really had to force myself to finish it so that I didn’t throw money out the window. It just never quite got off the ground. In the beginning I had high hopes as you fly through a series of cute critters in space. When I came to the gelatin on the plate level and had to suffer through the ridiculously boring rock em, sock em robot level I realized there was no saving this game. I feel bad giving it a bad review because I want to support good developers but this game is just lacking on so many levels. Skip this and replay Samorost 3.

😔 I am usually not a mean person towards reviews, but I just HAVE to point this out. When I first got this game, I had high hopes. But seeing every little speck and corner of this game made my brain automatically Think: “I’m doing something completely wrong. Am I?” But it was too late. My finger had already pressed the download button. And I just KNEW I was about to go on a terrible ride. No character in this game I cared about. They all felt like a wasted level idea. Music just sounds like some random sounds all mashed together to fit the situation. Story is probably the worst of this review. A little orange monster named Chuchel trying to get a cherry that is always out of his reach? That sounds as simple as Mario trying to rescue Princess Peach! Sorry for all my negativity, but of all the games Animata Design has made, PLEASE skip this one! PLEASE!!!!!!!

I was expecting a more challenging and compelling game, I really enjoyed all the other Amanita design games, the only games I have purchased from the store and World of Goo. I liked Chuchel but more for kids, it is a funny game, some scenes are really hilarious, but It took me 15 days to finish, and not because it was hard, it was because I didn’t even remember it was there. Not like Samorost, Machinarium or Botanicula, for those I couldn’t stop until the end. And the music was not that good either. The characters are cute for what I said, kids. I was disappointed when I realized that it was just that, a funny game. If you have children under 7 they will love this game.

I adore Amanita Design games! This game was fun, so cute and I found myself smiling and laughing throughout the game. Chuchel was quiet the character, it was hilarious to hear him and the other character talking, adorable how angry he gets and the puzzles were very fun to solve. Not the hardest but I felt like that was part of its charm. As always, it’s so sad when they end because I wish I could play them forever. I can’t rave enough about all their games, Samorost 3 is hands down the best game I’ve ever played! Highly recommend and well work the money!! Can’t wait to see what they come out with next!
