It's a pity that the cattle from russia spoil the statistics of great games by Amanita Design with their negative reviews because their paradigm has broken, for the Czechs have chosen an adequate position.
This is a great studio, and I love their creations, they are very atmospheric and fascinating, it's literally a part of my childhood.
Go cry, you offended children.

Another adorably endearing game from Amanita although not my favorite of theirs so far.
You're a goofy little fuzz ball with an acorn hat who is trying to get a cherry while this other little creature dude is also trying to get the cherry while some omnipresent hand keeps plucking the thing up and away from you both. So you go through each level in this sort of tug-of-war dynamic while slapstick shenanigans unfold.
As always from Amanita, the BGM and SFX are unique, peculiar, and very aligned. The art design is super quirky and distinctive, reminiscent of J. Otto Seibold or The Stinky Cheese Man but everything is bright, colorful, and cheery. I mean, if you aren't set to a good mood after this I don't know what will get you there.
BUT there just really isn't much gameplay. Largely you will just click on things to move the sets along and there are only a handful of levels that actually require you to figure anything out or "play" something. Like the art design comparisons I mentioned, it felt more like an interactive children's illustration.
It is very short (about 2.5-3 hours) and a few of the achievements are a little obscure but you get a handy chapter select so you can easily go back and scoop any up if you want.
I did get a little frustrated by a few of the levels due to the pacing and abstract logic. I did smile a whole lot. I do recommend this one on sale or in a bundle but for those that enjoy the trash polka style and charm of Amanita games I still recommend it but only barely.

Gotta love Amanita Design's weird ass little games. CHUCHEL is a short, quirky game following the eponymous Chuchel, a fuzzy little creature with big dreams of eating cherries. Of course, those dreams are interrupted when a giant hand steal his cherry, not to mention Kekel, a little rat thing that also wants the cherry. The game will take Chuchel and Kekel into several absurd situations, reminiscent of short cartoons you'd sometimes catch on TV.
The art design is nice; what you'd expect from Amanita Design if you're already familiar with their games, and the same goes for the soundtrack. Honestly, I can't write a lot about this game given how short and abstract it is. All I can say is that, for its short lenght, it's a rather fun, absurdist experience, and one that I enjoyed. Getting all achievements is relatively easy as well, so this is an easy recommendation from me.

It is one of those games that just makes you smile the entire time. The puzzles are delightfully quirky and the humor is offbeat in the best possible way. The art style is charming and the animations are ridiculous yet oddly satisfying. It’s short, but every minute is memorable. If you’re into lighthearted puzzle games with a lot of personality, this one’s definitely worth a go.

Story of two weird ugly deformed creatures pursuing their essential need of food.
Has the same premises as those episodic kid shows, with one simple joke repeated multiple times with different scenarios and no overarching plot. The word "Chuchel," which appears at the end of most chapters adds to the cartoon feel even more. 50 percent of classic Hanna-Barbera slapstick humor and 50% of psychedelic fever dream episodes, reminded me of many shows I watched in the past as a kid.
While it was quite funny to observe the little things jumping around and getting frustrated over a fruit this is more of an animated featurette than a game... Don't expect much.
