CHUCHEL isn't here to impress with realism. It's a game where a fuzzy, orange ball of chaos spends most of its time yelling, stomping, and chasing a cherry. That's it—cherry theft and frustration turned into comedy. The characters grunt, squeal, and bounce through short, interactive scenes, mostly setting up jokes or light puzzles.

Each level is a self-contained gag. You solve something small, maybe get a cherry, then lose it to your rival, Kekel. Then repeat. The loop is constant but so bizarre and punchy that it doesn't get old immediately. It feels like watching old slapstick cartoons, except you occasionally poke buttons to decide who gets dunked on next.

The art style is hand-drawn and full of attitude. CHUCHEL’s face alone carries more personality than some entire casts. The sound design helps a lot, too—there’s no real dialogue, just mumbles and screeches that somehow make sense in context. Music by DVA shifts from playful to chaotic but always matches the mood.

It's not a "game" in the traditional sense. There's almost no challenge, little choice, and mostly linear progress. However, CHUCHEL doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. It's short, strange, and built around visual humor. Some minigames appear as parodies of older titles (think Pac-Man or Tetris with a twist), providing enough variety to keep it interesting.

Perfect for short play sessions, CHUCHEL is ideal when you need a laugh without putting too much thought into it. It's a pick-up-and-play game; no instructions are needed. The humor comes fast, the action's always weird, and it doesn't slow down long enough to get dull.

How to Play?

Step 1: Launch the game and wait for the intro to finish. You'll take control of Chuchel, a fuzzy creature with a short temper. The primary objective in each level is to retrieve a stolen cherry.

Step 2: Use your mouse or touchscreen to click around the screen. Every object reacts differently. Try clicking on Chuchel, his friend Kekel, and anything that moves or looks out of place. There’s no traditional tutorial—just trial and error.

Step 3: Solve puzzles by interacting with the right items in the correct order. If something funny happens, that’s part of the process. It might take several tries before the cherry appears.

Step 4: Some levels involve simple minigames or parodies of classic arcade games. These play differently, like clicking to jump or move left and right. They usually end with Chuchel either getting or losing the cherry.

Step 5: Timing matters. In some stages, click quickly or at the right moment to trigger the next event. You don’t need fast reflexes, but stay alert for visual cues.

Step 6: If you get stuck, backtrack or replay animations. Many puzzles involve exploring all options until a solution is found. There's no penalty for failure.

Step 7: Watch the characters’ expressions. The game uses humor and visual clues instead of dialogue. If they look confused or angry, try something else.

Step 8: Finish each level by retrieving the cherry. Once that’s done, the next scene loads automatically. The story continues through short animated sequences.
