A dev turned your phone charger into a weapon, and your battery cable is absolutely not safe.
A game that abuses your charger
A game that abuses your charger
- Yeah, Charchery only works if you physically plug in a charging cable.
- Pull the cable out, and the game fires an arrow.
- No yank, no shot, which is both clever and mildly unhinged.
- The developer goes by rebane2001.
- He previously messed around with hardware-driven controls in Foldy Bird.
- This time, the charger port is the controller.
- Visually, it is barebones and not trying to impress anyone.
- Humanoid enemies walk toward the player in what looks like endless waves.
- The whole thing feels more like a tech demo than a polished release.
- Plugging in the cable loads an arrow.
- Pulling it out fires exactly one shot.
- Timing matters because the game tracks combos.
- There appears to be a combo system tied to speed.
- Rack up shots quickly, and the score climbs.
- Once enemies overwhelm the player, the run ends, and the combo locks in.
- The dev pointed to Defend Your Castle as part of the inspiration.
- Bowmaster Prelude also fed into the idea.
- Charchery keeps things simpler than both.
- In the demo, the charger sleeve already looked torn.
- Repeated plugging and yanking is basically cable abuse.
- Regular cables probably will not survive this game.
- Expect to burn through chargers if you go hard.
- Nylon-braided cables are the safer bet.
- Think of cables as consumables, not accessories.
- Charchery runs directly in a web browser.
- No downloads or installs required.
- It only works on smartphones.
- Desktop browsers will not even let you start.
- Charchery is not about graphics or depth.
- It is about turning hardware into gameplay.
- Fun idea, questionable for your charging cable, and extremely on-brand for experimental mobile gaming.
