Chinko /tʃiŋ.ko/ noun (masculine)

1.  A person or thing that is original, brilliant and full of good humour, distinguished by their personality, energy, zest for life and boldness.

2. A character from the Chinko’s Games universe. Plural: Chinkos.

The name Chinko’s Games takes its inspiration from the Chinko Nature Reserve, situated in the Central African Republic, in Central Africa.

This name was chosen for its connection with nature, but also because it is simple, original and easy to remember. It represents the starting point for our identity and the world we wish to create.

The landscapes, biodiversity and diverse environments of this region are a major source of inspiration for our creations.

In particular, we love to draw on the idea of vast natural spaces, varied landscapes and vibrant environments, which we reinterpret in a colourful, 2D cartoon style.

Behind Chinko’s Games, there are two of us French people working on the project.

From coming up with concepts to creating the graphics, as well as programming, music and various improvements, we’re all involved in developing this world.

Being a small team allows us to work directly on our ideas, experiment with new things and develop our games exactly as we want.

Each project represents a new opportunity to learn, test mechanics and hone our skills in video game development.

Chinko’s Games was founded in the summer of 2025 and has continued to grow alongside our projects ever since.

The characters in Chinko's Games have a very specific name: the Chinkos (a Chinko, singular).

They are an essential part of our identity. These little cartoon-style characters are designed to be easily recognizable and to bring a unique personality to our games.

We prioritize simple shapes, original designs, and an accessible graphic style. This allows the Chinkos to thrive in different environments and take part in a wide variety of experiences.

They aren’t just playable characters—they’re gradually coming together to form a whole universe that we hope to expand through our future creations.

The Chinkos are everywhere, even outside of games!

The Chinkos’ universe extends beyond video games. We also offer GIFs of our characters, available online and specifically designed for use on Discord.

To find them, simply open Discord’s GIF search and look for the number associated with the player along with the corresponding name.

It’s another way to discover the Chinkos and share them with friends, even outside of our games!

Our catalog features several games with different concepts. Each one has its own mechanics, environments, and atmosphere, while still maintaining the identity of Chinko's Games.

Tennis Chinko

Tennis Chinko is an arcade tennis game with fast-paced, chaotic, and unpredictable gameplay. With its minimalist graphics, Central African-inspired settings, and laid-back atmosphere, it offers a unique and fun take on classic tennis.

Run Chinko

A racing and competition game in which speed and precision are essential. Multiple players can compete to reach the finish line first.

Trail Chinko

Coming Soon : Flappy Chinko

We hope to continue expanding our catalog with new ideas and concepts.

Chinko’s Games has a visual identity based primarily on two colours:

- Red: #EC1C24

- White: #FFFFFF

Red is our main colour. It represents our identity and brings a sense of dynamism to our communications. White complements this colour by adding simplicity and clarity.

This combination features in our logos, visuals and various elements of our communications.

Our artistic direction is based on a cartoon-style, minimalist and colourful aesthetic. We particularly favour rounded shapes, simple designs and easily recognisable elements.

Each game, however, has its own visual universe. The biomes, settings and secondary colour palettes are tailored to the desired atmosphere.

Sound also plays an important role in our creations.

We aim to give each game a distinct soundscape, through original music, recognisable rhythms and sound effects tailored to different situations.

Our musical direction generally favours warm, light-hearted and fun atmospheres that reflect the spirit of Chinko’s Games.

In particular, we like to use simple melodies, repeated syllables and catchy choruses. Some tracks also incorporate vocals and vocal responses to create original compositions.

Our aim is to create a cohesive atmosphere, in which the music and sound effects play a full part in shaping the identity of each game.

Creating a video game involves much more than just coming up with a good idea.

Every project goes through various stages: concept development, design of the mechanics, programming, graphic design, animations, music, sound effects and testing.

We also place great importance on updates. These allow us to fix bugs, improve gameplay, add new content and enhance the experiences we offer.

We’re constantly looking to improve our games and offer players something new.

Feedback from our community is particularly important: an interesting suggestion can give us new ideas or help us improve an existing feature.

Chinko's Games is still a young project, with plenty of scope for growth.

We want to continue expanding our catalogue, enriching the Chinkos’ universe, devising new environments and offering ever more content.

In the long term, our ambition is to build a recognisable universe, with several games that share a common identity, whilst each offering a different experience.

We also want to grow our community and introduce our creations to an ever-increasing number of players.
