Hello! I'm not sure what time it is where you are, but over here it is very nearly Christmas and this is our seasonal gift to you: a new update for Chime Sharp. Unwrap it (it's a metaphor, don't actually unwrap anything please) and you'll find some minor bugfixes, crucial rule and scoring changes in Strike mode and a oh-our-gosh A NEW SONG.
Once you've played it take a moment to welcome chiptune superstar Shirobon to the Chime fold, and check out the rest of his work: FOX reminds us of the soundtrack to the best sides-crolling shooter that never was and we think it sounds absolutely brilliant in our game.
That's it. Thanks for all your support this year! You are all amazing. Let us know what you think of the game so far on the forums, by email or by Twitter. Have a great holiday season and we'll see you below us on the scoreboards -- and if not there, then in another update at the start of 2016, perhaps with another new song...
Chime was a much-loved music puzzle game on Xbox Live Arcade, PC and PS3. What happens if you file away the rusty edges?
New music + new modes + new visuals = CHIME SHARP.
Place pieces, paint the board, make music. Chime Sharp is an sequel to 2009's Chime, a music puzzle game with an addictive, ambient heartbeat. You tessellate shapes to cover a grid, while a beatline reads those shapes as notes. As you cover the board the music builds to a beautiful crescendo of your own design. The only way to discover Chime is to play it, but if you want a glimpse, consider what it might feel like to cross Tetris, a music sequencer and a hypnotic dream about your favourite pop song.
Chime Sharp takes Chime's classic dynamic and updates it for 2015. The core rules are the same but the aesthetic is clean and modern and the game's soundtrack has been completely refreshed. With fifteen new levels, experimental modes, new-era connectivity and sharper ways to play, Chime's finally back -- and it wants to be your new favourite mixtape.
