About the Game

An "old-school" game with very geeky touches and countless 80s pop-culture references, featuring environments and places we all know...

It's not all about shooting and punching! Complete missions, search for hidden places, find those iconic objects that defined our lives, and compete against your friends in the global ranking to see who is the best.

Chumacho has arrived in a parallel universe packed with geeky references, where he must explore Madrid's most iconic landmarks, its streets, and the Madrid Metro in a whole new way—while interacting with the monuments!

Plus, you can compete with your friends to see who is the best thanks to global leaderboards (most points, most kills...) and compare who has collected all the special items.

Just like the games of yesteryear, you can even play offline if you don't have an internet connection. The moment you are back online and beat a level, your score in normal mode will update in the global ranking.

Game Modes & Mechanics

There are two difficulty levels:

  • Normal Mode: For the brave ones, where you need to watch your step because the bad guys hurt (and a lot!). This is where the competition takes place.

  • Tourist Mode: A much easier experience where the enemies don't deal as much damage.

As mentioned before, it's not all about shooting; you'll also have to hide by pressing yourself against the wall, where enemies won't be able to detect you (yes, they are a bit short-sighted). It is a 2D game where you can follow two playstyles: full action-and-shooting, or stealthily hugging the walls at certain moments to avoid detection.

Exploration & Secrets

In each level, you will face different monsters, each with unique traits—and not all of them are easy to kill! You will also need to investigate the levels to find keys or tickets to unlock your path and continue your adventure, or to discover secret areas. By the way, there are also hidden doors in the walls or locked doors that might open if you push them... and even breakable walls that open up new paths.

Furthermore, the path is riddled with unique items to find as well as side missions to complete—such as finding special objects scattered and hidden throughout Chumacho's world, hunting down a specific enemy, or eliminating a set number of foes.
