Chime Sharp Porting to PS4 and XBone
London, United Kingdom -- February 15th, in the year of our
Lord 2017 -- Independent game publisher Chilled Mouse today
announced that their music puzzle title Chime Sharp is coming to
Sony Playstation 4 on February 21st and Microsoft Xbox One on
February 24th. Chime Sharp takes the concept of the original
Chime to the next level, forming a crossover between Tetris, a
music sequencer and a hypnotic dream. Relish in sixteen new
levels, experimental modes, new-era connectivity and a melodic
ambient soundtrack of artists, including CHVRCHES, Steve Reich
and Kavinsky, tessellating shapes on a grid to build a beautiful
music crescendo of your own design.
“With Chime Sharp the core rules are the same, featuring the
same mesmerizing, hypnotic electronic soundtrack with songs from
some of the most experimental trailblazing artists out there”,
said Ian Baverstock, CEO of Chilled Mouse. “With a clean, sleek
new aesthetic and new experimental modes, Chime has returned and
this time it wants to become your favourite mixtape”.
"I was absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Chime Sharp team.
The Chime series offers a fresh style of gameplay that I have
never seen before - you can really feel the music working with
the game, seamlessly integrated for full immersion”, said
Chipzel, one of the artists behind the music for Chime Sharp.
“My track, ‘Psychonaut’, was created with this gameplay style in
mind. Through entwining multiple layers, which progressively
build to compliment the final arrangement, I wanted to portray
the intention of rewarding the player as they advance, through
the use of evocative melodies and euphoric transitions."
Described as a crossover between a music sequencer and Tetris,
Chime Sharp tasks players to place various shapes together in a
race against the clock while the passing beatline reads the
blocks as notes, remixing melodies from electronic tracks. The
goal is to cover the whole playing grid by completing quads of
3x3 or more, generating points while enjoying melodic works by
acclaimed musicians including Kavinsky, CHVRCHES, Steve Reich,
Los, Chipzel, Andy Hung, Message to Bears, Timothy Schmalz,
Magic Sword, Shirobon, Noveller, Haiku Salut, Luc Grey, A Mote
of Dust, Symbion Project, and CFCF. Four unlockable game modes
introduced in Chime Sharp put a twist on mechanics by
introducing a life system, time limits and new shapes and grid
designs. With a brand new song list, sixteen unique levels, a
fresh look and new gameplay modes, the beloved Chime is finally
back on console and it’s much Sharper! Warning - may contain
