About Chico and the Magic Orchards DX
Chico’s Journey Home
When Chico the chubby-cheeked chipmunk stumbles into a portal in the forest, he’s transported to a magical world! Here he finds giant walnuts galore, but getting them home won’t be easy! Solve puzzles and challenges across a variety of unique levels, gather a horde of giant walnuts, and help Chico get back to his forest!
Use your nut!
With unique dual-mode gameplay, you’ll have to really use your nut to crack these worlds. Alone, Chico can jump over obstacles and push wall switches. If he has a walnut, he can roll it over spikes, bounce it off of walls and bumpers, and more. Find a way to get the walnut through to the end of the level with you! Each world introduces unique new mechanics that will test your brain and your skills.
A Retro Romp
Chico and the Magic Orchards is made to evoke 8-bit handheld games. Catchy chiptune music, simple controls, and pixel-grid filters let you feel like you're playing a "lost classic"! Play the game in fixed 4-color mode, automatic palette mode with a special 4-color palette for each area, or the new Full Color mode!
A Hive Divided
Even after the end credits roll, that's not the end of Chico's adventure! Now with the Chico DX update, continue your game after beating it to start playing the new post-game campaign A Hive Divided! Rescue trapped bees across two new giant levels, and defeat the Queen Bee. Power up your walnut with fire, water, and honey for a whole new spin on solving puzzles and exploring areas!

"Chico and the Magic Orchards DX" is an action platformer with a charming squirrel as a protagonist! Follow him on his adventures to get back home with all the walnuts he can carry and then some! ^^ Retro puzzler with good mechanics. Smooth gameplay with interesting features such as entirely fresh moves with and without the walnuts. Interesting enemies and good sokoban style puzzles. Above all it remains an action platformer as you'll face many danger than aren't only environmental! The music and colors used give it a real retro feeling yet it remains modern without the hiccups retro games tend to have. Modern features and conveniences along with a good menu and set of options for all tastes! Try now the DX version for post-ending gameplay that totally shakes things up! Try not to get stung! ^^ For more reviews, follow my curator https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44864435-Mewesome-Reviews/2 found this helpful
I just think it's neat.1 found this helpful
A great game that feels at home with other Gameboy Color classics. Really reminded me of my good memories of Kirby Tilt and Tumble. The puzzles are fun to figure out, they nailed the art style for what they wanted, and the game is as long as I would like it to be. I absolutely recommend it at the full $5.
It's better than a cure for cancer
A simple puzzle game, but with very well-designed levels. I was surprised that it kept me engaged all the way through. Also has post-game content!
It's good! I found out about it via bluesky. It's like Eagle's Tower from Link's Awakening, but expanded into a whole game. I appreciate that the levels are entire mazes.
