CHUCHEL

My kids love this game. Both versions PC and Android are great :)

It's not a bad game but it just isn't for me.

Kids loved it - funny, vibrant, not too long. Very user friendly with minimal UI

Chuchel is clearly a labour of love, it shows in every single mouse button click. The character design, the animation, the enchanting little noises everything makes and especially in the delightful celebrations when you complete each of the totally bonkers puzzels. The game is short enough that it never feels "old" but a couple of the puzzels do decend into random hopeful clicking (the one with the 2 jars...) but the rewards are self evident and the conclusion is totally heartwarming. This is a completely mad, smile-inducing gem of a game.

(Review not based on GOG version) TL;DR: Puzzle+minigames with great laughs. Recommended for people looking for something fun and different, or maybe even to play with children. I have finished playing Chuchel and IMHO it's very worth it. It's very fun and has great slapstick humour, I got many laughs throughout it. However, it is not a point-and-click graphic adventure like Samorost 3 or Machinarium. There's a simple story, and many scenes feeling very puzzly but that's about it. If you want your dose of graphic adventure, you'll be disappointed by this great game. The game isn't too long, there are 30 scenes, and there are three types of scenes. Some just require you to click throught them, and you just enjoy them. Others are simple but entertaining puzzles until you find the right combination of things to do, and this is the only part that might feel like the puzzles from graphic adventures. And finally there are minigames where you must jump, dodge, hit or whatever is needed in a variety of environments, including some twisted and fun interpretations of Tetris, Pac-Man or Space Invaders. Special things done in certain scenes grant one of the seven achievements. Visuals and music are quirky, twisted, strange, fun, and twisted (yes, twice twisted). All for comedy and laughs, and that's where the game excels. It's terribly entertaining and funny, albeit a bit twisted humour. No, I'm not abusing that adjective. It's a surely different experience with all the quality expected from Amanita Design. It might not be the best game in the universe, but it's a great experience to have for all ages. Let children play it by them or with them, maybe they'll need some help in some scenes but surely they'll enjoy it, as adults will do. Price is about right, althought for the current price I would have expected soundtrack and artbook included. Maybe you can wait until it drops to 5-6 bucks, but maybe you can't because, if I haven't said it, it's too fun to miss.
