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.

Quick Review
"CHUCHEL" is a point and click games with a pretty creative arsenal of animations, puzzles and little details that will make you smile and have a good laugh as you play it while being able to keep its story progressing with consistency.
(Playthrough/Gameplay of the game)
If this quick review isn't useful to you maybe the following "extended version" could help ^^
The good
Outstanding art style and animations with a lot of personality.
Pretty welcoming puzzles that feel well rounded 100% of the time.
If you ever get stuck the game can provide you clues that will take you closer to the actual solution of the puzzles.
The bad
Nothing
Things that might help you decide
The game it's relatively short, you should be able to complete it around 2h.
Low-spec friendly game
Final recommendation / Price evaluation
You need to play this at some point, it's an excelent game with a great price.

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.

Interactive, fun, funny, really unique sort of game. Basically its a puzzle clicker with a handful of mini games. Not a huge fan of the artwork, however it complements the weirdness/randomness of the game well and doesn't make it unplayable at all really. At this point surprised I've gotten 2.5 hours of gameplay time and am only about 1/3 through the game's content. Liking it a lot, well worth a couple bucks for sure.

Funny little game with some easy puzzels, some nice and cute animations and a lot of "WTF-Moments". I love it ^^ Try it!!!

A weirdly fun time, where you play as a cherry obsessed orange fluff ball.
If that sounds even remotely interesting to you, I would recommend checking this game out.
All jokes aside, this game was a pleasure to play and was thoroughly entertaining.
