I adored Botanicula and enjoyed Amanita’s previous games for the colorful, imaginative, densely layered worlds, unusual characters and unbelievable levels of environmental interactivity. Each of their created universes has its own logic, and that logic holds up throughout each game. Perhaps I am being unfair and Amanita is a victim of my overly-high expectations, but I was not impressed with and did not much enjoy CHUCHEL. CHUCHEL lacks this intuitive aspect, this internal logic: it feels like a large part of the game involves touching the screen randomly until something happens, and eventually you figure out what needs to be done to progress to the next level. While there is some clever mimicry of other games in certain levels (one of the better levels requires winning mocked-up versions of Mario Brothers and Pac-man), I didn’t feel a sense of cohesion from level to level, which made the game lack narrative heft. Without a storyline or character that I really cared for, and without puzzles that had an internal logic, a lot of the game felt random, disjointed, and childish. And while one might try to force a deeper meaning onto it (the repeated efforts to retrieve one’s lost cherry as a quest to regain innocence?), overall it’s unfortunately just not an interesting, engaging game. Like many of the other reviewers I feel bad leaving a less-than-enthusiastic review, but in spite of the visual appeal, the gameplay itself was just not compelling.

If you’ve played games from the great Amanita Design such as Botanicula and Machinarium, you’ll love this wonderful charming comedy game. Meet the professional cherry enthusiast and ugly-cute hairball, Chuchel! Inspired by the main designer, Jaromir, and his dog, this little rascal of fuzz madness is comedic, angry, and cheerful, all in one. But Chuchel isn’t the only thing here… Meet his curious and troublesome pink spiny friend, Kekel! Chuchel has an interesting history, though. Back in 2018, this scraggleball was black and orange. This wasn’t understood well by the public, and resulted in people saying that Chuchel’s original design was meant to be Blackface, a racial stereotype from the fifties. They then changed his design to one that is equally as cute and charming, with little negativity. Overall, this is a really charming and fun game that’s worth a play.

I almost bought this game back when it came out, but read through the reviews and a lot of them complained that it was more of a kids game. I recently found it on sale and figured it was worth $1 to try it out...and I’m so glad I did!! This is one of the most creative games I have ever played and I enjoyed every minute of it! I didn’t find it to be too childish or easy. I thought it was the perfect difficulty level...not too hard or frustrating, but still a bit challenging. I loved the humor, sounds and artwork, and I was sad when it ended. This is definitely a game I’ll replay in a year or two, once I’ve forgotten the puzzle solutions.
