Story

In a far away time on a far away planet,

there is a Space Port.

This Space Port is inhabited by thousands of little ChuChus.

ChuChus aren,t

ordinary mice.

We,re space mice!

The things that ChuChus

detest more than anything

else are KapuKapus.

KapuKapus aren,t

ordinary cats.

We,re space cats!

The ChuChus lived happily

until one day, when... The Space Port became infested with KapuKapu.

What should

we do?

The fate of the

ChuChus

is in your hands!

The ,,ChuChu Rocket!

launch countdown has

started!

Which rocket

should we go in?
