In Hustle Chumy players control a mouse named Chumy who needs to collect apples (and other food) in a sewer, avoiding other critters as he goes. As Chumy eats more food, his speed decreases, but his fireballs are given a longer range. Levels have varying layouts.

Mecha-Dinos: Mecha-Dinos are indestructible, although Chumy can slow them down with fireballs.
Gators: Gators usually sleep in one spot, but sometimes move slowly around.
Cats: Cats can jump like Chumy.

First released: Feb 1984
Play Hustle Chumy on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Hustle Chumy on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
