Quick Look: CHUCHEL

Cute.

I'd put Chuchel at 2-3 hours to complete so a 13 Minute quick look is a sizable chunk.

Amanita make great games but keep their duration in mind when buying.

Also - RIP to the Embiggen Dude?

I need to play Machinarium again. I also love the character designs for their games.

CHUCHEL looks like Mr. Popo’s pubes, the state of your character design mate ??‍♀️

Is Chuch'd the new Monked?

Perfect length for the QL, I completed the game a couple days ago, I tried to find the real solution, so that I can avoid it and try everything else first :)

Just finished the game. What a wild ride...

I'm just loving the heck out of this game. I've played one or two puzzles every day, slowly inching my way through it and I always leave with a goofy smile.

Love the animation in this. Like everything Amanita Design does, this game is super charming, I really enjoyed it!

Maaaaan, now I've got a craving for mochi after listening to Alex and Abby talk about them...

Man, I really hope Dallas Chuchel gets back to his Cy Young form this year.

From the few times it is said in game, it seems it is pronounced "cuck-el".

Clearly going after that alt-right money :D

Sensible chuchel

What's emoji female sign? I've seen it pop up somewhere else and have no clue what it means. Internet jargon goes way too fast to keep up with haha.

I really liked CHUCHEL. It's short (probably the shortest Amanita Design game there has been) but it's great fun and it always leaves me with a smile on my face. It's kind of like Tom and Jerry (as Chuchel and his dog/thing have a constant cat and mouse relationship over their love of cherries). And the music, as usual from DVA, is superb. Overall, definitely thumbs up.

Joanie Loves Chuchie.

cheap coconut made for cheap candy / cakes have ruined the reputation of coconut

try some coconut "manna" its amazing

Coconut is good. It's like edible sawdust, probably.

Cherries are good, except you have to spit out the cores like a cave man, which to be fair, is fun when outside.

CHUCHEL seems good. Has a nice hat.

Reminds me of eyezmaze.com

I had no idea this released this week! Amanita Design is one of my all time favorite developers. Buying immediately.

Ice Cream Mochi, and Mochi, are not the same thing

I am here for this.

This game has a sick soundtrack. I loved that part as they were flying through space.

@boonsong: I was just thinking that Dave Lang needs to be convinced to play this during his Extra Life stream so there can be a bunch of $4.20 donations for "YA GOT CHUCH'D".

The long awaited sequel to Flappy Bird

Doesn't look like anything I'd ever want to actually play but it also looks charming and cool.

lol, exactly what I thought of.

Interesting look. Kind of "European kids' programming interstitials crossed with a flash game but make it art."

Immediately recognisable as an Amanita game.

It's been posted various other places already, but chuchel is apparently a Czech word for "ball of hair or dust" (Amanita's a Czech studio, after all). And you can find a pronunciation here: https://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=wT#cs/en/chuchel (the one under the Czech version, taken straight from Amanita's forums). It sounds like it's kind of pronounced "khoo-khel" except barely any emphasis on the "k" sounds.

Learning is fun.

@grog: I think Vinny actually got the pronunciation fairly close on the Beastcast.

This looks super Koohell!

@grog: I came here to try to explain the pronunciation in Czech but I see there is no need (also I have no idea how I would write it phonetically :))

The thinking man's Boobah Zone

@whitegreyblack: Me either. Great surprise to start the week off!

@blasvimi: I bought & finished Chuchel last night so bear that in mind (a bit under 2.5 hrs in total)... though it was worth it, in my opinion. I love Amanita's games!

stoked to play this with my kid on iPad

It feels like there's nothing quite like these games. It reminds me of the Boobahzone, early 2000's kid sites (Donald duck 'webportal') & animated kid series like Pingu or shorts produced for Sesame Street.

@ravelle: I believe it's your browser not showing a more customized emoji. The way emoji are set up, there is a "default" version, and then you can add a modifier to customize it. So some browsers/apps will combine *Praying Emoji* *Female Sign* into *Female Praying Emoji*, but if your browser doesn't have a *Female Praying Emoji* it will just show the two emoji in sequence. You can see the same thing happen often with skin color modifiers, where you'll see *Hand Emoji* *Flesh Colored Square* instead of *Flesh Colored Hand Emoji*.

Hope that made sense and helped!

@yellownumber5: Yep

This game is unsettling to me.

I'm using chrome and it just shows a girl face palming followed with the female sign. ;p

This looks like a beautifully executed artful experience.

@ravelle: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. On another browser, that will be translated to a Female Face Palm, instead of Face Palm followed by Female. It so happens that the Chrome default Face Palm emoji is female. But on Mobile, for instance, it shows the Female Face Palm instead of the Generic Face Palm because it is modified by the Female emoji. It's caused by people selecting the Female version of an emoji instead of the generic version when they type it in.

A proper quick look.

Maybe this is Botanicula's scary cousin... it certainly seems to be the creator of Botanicula though. Too bad there's no Vinny.
