About XanChuchamel
Like in the old days
XanChuchamel is an old-fashioned puzzle-platformer, like those games from the 90's where the important thing was just to have fun. In XanChuchamel you will need skill on the platforms, it's true, but before that you will have to place them in the right positions.
How to play
The game mechanics are simple. Xan (the round protagonist) is able not only to move and jump, but he can also catch the special blocks that are within his reach. After that, that block can be placed in another position so that you can jump on it and move forward.
But that's just the beginning. Some special blocks can become a moving platform when injected with one of three movement powers: horizontal, vertical or diagonal. Xan can obtain these powers either from another block that is already moving, or from a power source.
And wait, because there is still more. In addition to the movement blocks, Xan can use other different special blocks. Each of them has different characteristics, so you will have to use all your neurons to use them successfully.
Secrets
Xanchuchamel is designed for everyone to play at their own pace. If you prefer to worry only about completing the levels, you can do it. Even if you get stuck in one of the difficult ones (and there are some), you can skip it and continue advancing in the game. If, on the other hand, you are one of those who want a bit more of a challenge, you can try to finish each level with the highest score, the Cup with Horns. To do this you will need to reach the end of the level before the clock runs down below 100%. And not only that. If you want to get the perfect level you will also need to find the three medallions that are hidden in each stage.
Worlds and levels (and bonus)
Xanchuchamel consists of 5 different worlds, each of which contains 10 levels. At the beginning, you will only be able to play in the first world, as the rest will be locked. But in Xanchuchamel the way to unlock levels is the same as always: playing. At the end of each level you will find a Orb of Power. As you get more and more, new worlds and new levels will be unlocked.
In addition to the Orbs of Power in each level, there are more of them hidden in the game. But getting them will not be easy. First you will have to find one of the Bonus medallions hidden (and very hidden) in some of the levels of the game. And finding one of these medallions is only the first step: by touching one, Xan will have to overcome a challenge against time to be able to get the Orb.
In addition to the languages listed in the bar on the right, Xanchuchamel is also available in Galician.What Steam players say

For 6 bucks? Yeah, I'd say XanChuchamel is okay. It's exactly what's advertised, just a little platformer. The block mechanic is sufficient enough; I've played through the first 20% of the game, and so far, that block mechanic has been fleshed out a bit more than I expected. I figured it'd just be the same thing in different levels, but they actually add a few things, like the blocks can move and you can control how they move. It can be hard to appreciate the controls at times because the hitbox for the main character (is their name XanChuchamel??) is pretty hit or miss. Sometimes, you'll be on the edge of a ledge because you're trying to place a block out as far as it can go, but then you fall off into a pit of spikes even though it looked like you still had half your body on the ledge. It's not a huge issue though, you can usually get back to where you were in like a minute. The game is good at not wasting your time. I'd say my biggest praise goes to the little challenge coins you collect, they actually feel rewarding and make you think. I remember I was messing around with this one block that would go up and down, I realized that there was this weird mechanic where if you stoppe…2 found this helpful
I love this game! It's amazing how a "puzzle-platform" videogame can be so addictive. The mechanics of placing blocks and "programming" them is simple and clever. As you progress through the game, different types of blocks and other mechanisms appear to make the situations more interesting and with new mechanics. The levels are very well designed and require both brains and skill. The difficulty increases in a progressive and balanced way, without frustrating difficulty spikes. You don't encounter overly difficult screens until you reach the final levels. I also liked the design, graphics and music.
