Chuck's Challenge 3D

Revision as of 13:03, 6 March 2021 by Random 8 (talk | contribs)

Chuck's Challenge 3D, often abbreviated to CC3D, is a game developed by Niffler Ltd. released on 28 February 2014.[1] It was intended to be a spiritual successor to Chip's Challenge, as Chip's Challenge 2 was unable to be released for copyright reasons at the time. The game originated on mobile platforms as simply Chuck's Challenge, but it was later approved through Steam Greenlight and funded through a Kickstarter campaign.[2] Chuck Sommerville was involved in the project by holding an advisory role and designing most of the levels.[citation needed]

Chuck's Challenge is generally not documented here, due to it appealing to a different audience than classic Chip's Challenge. Information about it can be found at the Chuck's Challenge Wiki.

Levels

In the mobile version of Chuck's Challenge, the first level pack (Asida) was free with the game, but the second, third and fourth level packs (Bebinca, Clottie, and Dobos) were included as DLC. In the PC version, all four of these packs were included automatically, along with a fifth level pack (Eclair). A sixth level pack (Flummery) was added in an update on November 12, 2014.[3] Two additional packs (Gelato and Haupia), consisting of levels mostly made by the community, were released on September 21, 2020 as DLC.[4]

Ben 10 Game Generator

In 2016, a re-themed version of Chuck's Challenge 3D, known as Ben 10 Game Generator, based on Cartoon Network's Ben 10 franchise, was released as a tie in to the reboot of the franchise.[5] It featured the same gameplay as Chuck's Challenge 3D, but with different graphics, the player controlling Ben 10's main character, Ben Tennyson. The game has since been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase.

Notes

  1. These were introduced to more accurately emulate fireballs and gravel from Chip's Challenge, respectively. By contrast, Screamers (and Blinkies) ignore ice and conveyors and can't press buttons, while gravel doesn't allow blocks or monsters to move onto or off of it.
  2. More accurate versions of traps in Chip's Challenge. By contrast, colored square gates are walls when closed, and only open when all square buttons of the same color are held down.
  3. These have the movement patterns of Blinkies and Screamers but the element interactions of blue Legs.
  4. More accurate versions of chip sockets in Chip's Challenge. By contrast, blue F.I.S.H. gates open as soon as enough F.I.S.H. are collected, allowing monsters and blocks to pass through without the player having to clear the gate first.
