What The Chuck?

⠀

The intended feature was a lot of fun

Super Sigma game DO recommend (the bugs are the charm)

"What The Chuck?" is another case of Itch failing the one job it has, to contain godawful amateur crap and stop it from leaking out onto Steam. But here we are again, this time with an incredibly lame pixelcrap "party brawler", a 2D pixelcrap platformer/arena brawler. Think Super Smash Bros but without any interesting characters and with some of the worst graphics every to assault the eyes. What do you do in the game? Nothing, really, there's no players, the developer couldn't work out how to do online matchmaking, so it's local only, and if you ask your friends to play garbage like this, you soon won't have any friends at all. The use of low-resolution, ugly pixelcrap here is dishonestly presented as a "deliberate artistic choice", but we all know it's because the developer wasn't capable of anything better. The result is a visually unappealing game, especially when compared to thousands of professionally developed games here. Whether the developer lacked the talent for modern visuals or the money to hire an artist is irrelevant. This choice significantly detracts from the game... gaming is a visual medium. Games like Undertale and Stardew Valley are incredibly rare exceptio…

I appreciate how chucky this game is

Didn't know what to expect but turned out to be some of the best fun i've had playing a couch co-op game. Props to the devs for making it possible to be so annoyed at my friends yet so happy to play a game with them without having any idea what's going on. 10/10.
