***********************************************************************
Chowderchu was once renowned as the greatest storyteller in Chowderspace, but one day he was offered a castle with infinite entertainment in exchange for his ability to speak.
For thousands of years, Chowderchu became lost in his happy distractions needing only to visit the Chowd well once a week to refill his... you know. Chowd.
But today, one little trip to the Chowd well would change everything...
Chowderchu is a platformer about the adventures of a pixel magician, which began after he was on the way to the well with a mysterious substance called Chowd, when he met a talking crab named Weedy. After that fateful meeting, the adventure did not take long - we gain the new super abilities; ride in a flying car; we meet a lot of monsters with very different degrees of strangeness; meet a strange bearded man and help him find a strange sphere, and who moreover gives us a handful of blue crystals in the beginning.
Overall, the game has a strong addictive and original gameplay mechanics, which prompts to return to the game again and again and makes you each time go a little further and further than the last time.
Author's stormy fantasy never gives to relax, because you never know what he had prepared for the next screen for you.
At the beginning you are given 3 lives for the entire game without any saves and opportunity to continue. Hardcore players who caught the 90s games and that are looking for a challenge would like it, but younger players such complexity is unlikely to keep in game for a long time.
One of the strengths of the game is the music - it is catchy and it could take place in your home retro playlist.
Graphics strikes the eyes, but does not cut them and you get used to it quickly. It is not a dignity of this game and not a disadvantage, but simply its feature.
One the minuses of the game for me is too small character: it is literally a handful of pixels on the big screen, and "catching" him with the mouse, even when he is not moving, is quite problematic.
What can i say about the moments when you need to "catch" him in the air a few times in a row? For people without eagle eyes, cattish reactions and mouse for 100$ it is almost an impossible task. The game would show itself nice on mobile platforms.
Just occasionally there are crashes, possibly due to the peculiarities of my walkthrough. You may never meet them in game, it's quite stable.
The lack of any options. In the game you can not change controls, or screen resolution. However, the controls here are quite convenient.
If you are looking for something that can entrap you for a few hours or a few nights, then do not pass by. The game can give you positive emotions, and may burn your ???, but hardly leave you indifferent.
