A port of Obake no Q-Taro: Wan-wan Panic
Chubby Cherub is a comedic action platformer. Chubby has to cross 12 levels, and at the end of each the protagonist will find his friends. Eating food maintains Chubby Cherub's flight. If the flying meter goes all the way down, the character will have to stay on ground. The character will bark at the dogs before they bark at the character; if a bark hits the character, the character may die.

Typical platformer with solid visuals and sound.
[Review of Obake no Q-tarō: WanWan Panic (1985)]
The game has a concept that is not necessarily uninteresting, as it revolves around a stamina bar that must be filled by gathering food. However, the entropy rate of this bar is far too fast and often leads to premature death. This is not helped by barking dogs whose attacks target the character, after he has chosen to jump or not. On the other hand, the barking range is greater than the range of our character's attacks. The lack of nuances for the jump makes it even more complex. This is a stodgy title, showing no lucidity in its game-design: perhaps a good representative of the early NES. It should be noted that the US version removes all references to the original manga, to the point where the public did not understand the narrative elements of this title.

Realmente, REALMENTE, prefiero el bootleg que venía en la poli station, el diseño del fantasma era más bonito y la música no se sentía tan rara.
Not awful but nothing special
