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 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.
Short, but for $3 that's to be expected. Makes great use of its mechanics, though I would love to see more done with this concept in the future if possible. Definitely recommended if you enjoy puzzlers like Portal or Entropy Centre.
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
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.
Overall, a fun little adventure. The core concept of the game, manipulating the motion of physics objects through time control, is interesting, and the game executes it reasonably well. The earlier levels are pretty easy, but do well to teach you how to solve puzzles using your abilities. The later levels can get a bit finicky. I'm not really sure if I really got the solution to one of the puzzles in level 6 or if I just janked my way to success, but I had fun regardless. The later levels also rely a bit too much on navigating mazes for my liking, but I just don't really like mazes to tell you the truth. There's no overbearing narrator to crack wise at everything you do, nor is there much of a story, just a bunch of puzzles and a wacky remote.
really fun and at some points tricky game but the only things that I didnt like are: the player camera or the crosshair isnt centred to the screen and sometimes the performance you get out of this game doesn't match its visuals the controls to switch the remote powers are a bit clonky the voice acting is wonderful (this game was gifteed to me)
It's okay, fairly straight-forward and simple portal-inspired puzzle game.
Cool game and cool mechanics Voice Acting: 10/10 Those labyrinths kicked my ass
Good small time puzzle game, had a lot of fun playing it!
Very nice game! A simple concept but very well thought out. The levels are increasingly difficult, challenging, and very fun.
