About
The clock ticks, inexorably.
You wake up in a mysterious futuristic laboratory, after a technician spills his coffee on the wrong keyboard. You soon obtain the ChronoGun, which is able to change the temporal properties of objects. Falling items can be sent back to where they fell from, dangerous blades can be safely stopped, and mechanisms can be sped up for speed and power. You need to escape this facility, and the sooner the better.
Chrono is a puzzle/platformer first-person single-player game. Explore dozens of puzzle rooms where you interact with the temporal properties of objects. Each puzzle contains moving platforms, pistons, lasers, turbines, and more. Puzzles are grouped by level, and each level represents a difficulty increase.
You can try and achieve the fastest time possible for each level. Solve all the puzzles to escape and get to safety!

Fun casual puzzle game with a time-based puzzle concept, very interesting for fans of the genre!
Disclaimer: This review is being written shortly after the game's release. Chrono is exactly what it looks like; A fun physics based puzzle platformer centered around manipulating the puzzle pieces in time to reach the end. Pros: Interesting puzzles and platforming sections, with some "eureka" moments that leave you thinking you're actually smart. Cons: Some of the maze sections can be truly disorienting. Things to consider: It's a relatively short experience, which is okay given the price tag. Overall, give it a try if you like these kinds of games.
Super fun game, based on a cleanly designed mechanic that still leads to unexpected twists and solutions. The levels quickly ramp you up and I won't spoil too much, but some of them are really well thought out! Looking forward for new levels, maybe one day ... :)
Puzzle like game like portal where the puzzle involves time manipulation instead of space manipulation. Very fun, low time consuming, i think most puzzles are quite original, I hope to see a flesh out sequel someday!
Nothing groundbreaking but it understands the mechanics it implements and executes them well. It's just missing some good soundtrack. Portugal Caralho!
Pretty good game to spend some free time besides the fact that is new and still under development on some features. Maze part can be kinda confusing, but the rest of it I enjoyed a lot, pretty fun game for those who enjoy this type of game genre.
Fun short little game. Reminiscent of Portal. The concept is phenomenal and is impressive to be completely developed by one guy. Some of the puzzles were quite interesting as well as the few short platforming portions. Great little concept that I hope gets picked up by a larger publisher. I also have a Youtube video coming out soon on this game. I will edit this review with the link once it is published. I just have a couple gripes with it. 1. The Mazes suck. There is no reason to use the remote for anything in them except to pause everything before going in. There is a lot of potential with it though with going up and down that could be implemented somewhat like the invisible wall maze in the last level. 2. Voice acting is mid. Sounds way too robotic with no emotion. Like "Oh no what are we going to do?" without sounding the least bit frantic. 3. Not much leeway with the deaths and way too sudden/loud. In conjunction with this, the last level does not have enough checkpoints. The last level took over 40 minutes because I had to keep redoing a good portion of it because I was screwing up one of the last jumps. 4. Could use some more background noise (music, ambience, sound effects). The last level had some good ambience though.
If you have played and enjoyed Portal, you will like this game. The earlier levels are quite easy and good for the player to understand the mechanics but soon after you will need to start thinking out of the box to move forward, but don't get carried away, sometimes you get stuck for thinking to much out of the box while the answer is right in front of your eyes.
This game is fantastic, each level has it's own depth to it, they were clearly well thought out with so much intentional design. Me and my 5 year old love it! Each level gets a little more difficult and has a lot of varying mechanic interactions, sometimes you think something is going to function the same way as it did in a prior level, and sometimes that's the case, but other times it's almost an entirely different mechanic, or different use of the same mechanic. Great game!
Random Scuffed Games #188 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Aktuelle Spielequeue: https://rsg.ditomido.de Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: Karichan86 Chrono ist ein Rätsel Platformer und erinnert im ersten Moment stark an Spiele wie Portal. Die Art und weise wie man sich im Raum bewegt wirkt etwas surreal und langsam, hilft aber mit dem Timing, denn in Chrono geht es darum die Zeit einzelner Objekte und Platformen zu manipulieren um sich den eigenen Weg zu bahnen. Cooles Konzept und spannende Mechanik, offensichtlich low budget produziert aber mit einigen knackigen Rätseln und einem hauch Portal gefühlt. für 3€ ohne Angebote nicht schlecht ich könnte mir aber auch vorstellen, dass eine hochwertigere umfangreichere Version gut ziehen würde. Rating: Dito: 3.7/5 Chat: 3.71/5 Gesamt: 3.71/5
