Chack'n Pop (Japan)

In Chack'n Pop, players control the protagonist, Chack'n, a small yellow creature with feet, through a series of single-screen, maze-like levels. The primary objective of each level is to rescue Missle, Chack'n's girlfriend, who is trapped in a cage somewhere on the screen, and then escape through the exit.

Chack'n can move left and right, and jump. Chack'n's special ability is to place heart-shaped bombs. These bombs explode after a short delay or when Chack'n touches them. The explosion can defeat enemies and destroy breakable blocks or walls that obstruct the path. Players must use bombs strategically to create pathways, clear obstacles, and eliminate various monsters such as Monstas (walking monsters) and Mightas (flying monsters).

Each level also features a number of fruits scattered around. Players must collect all these fruits to unlock the exit door. After collecting enough fruits and rescuing Missle (by opening her cage with a bomb), Chack'n and Missle must together reach the exit before the time runs out. There is a countdown timer for each level, adding pressure for players to complete it quickly.

Other hazards include spikes and falling rocks. Players must carefully avoid them to prevent losing a life. Chack'n Pop is a game that demands strategic thinking and quick reflexes to solve environmental puzzles and overcome enemies, while also managing time effectively.
