Chime Sharp
SCORE: 70
Family Friendly Gaming was provided a digital download code for Chime
Sharp on Steam. I am not aware of any physical copies of this puzzle
game. It has been some years since anyone at Family Friendly Gaming has
played a Chime game. I love the concept of Chime. Chime Sharp fulfills
that concept masterfully well. I just wish Chime Sharp was more
approachable for casual gamers.
We get odd shapes (some of them remind me of Tetris) in Chime Sharp. We
must group them together to make boxes. The more boxes, and the larger
the boxes the higher our score and multiplier. A sonar like line goes
across the screen. We only have so much time to make these boxes. The
goal is to fill as much of the background space as possible with the
boxes we build.
I wish Chime Sharp would let us just cover the area, and let us pass if
we get enough of the area. Without having to create the boxes. Levels
are also too short in Chime Sharp in my opinion. Especially when we look
at the massive amounts of real estate we need to cover. Graphically
Chime Sharp looks okay. It did not blow me away, or make me think retro.
I might have expected better since Chime Sharp took so long to boot up.
The music in Chime Sharp is different. I am sure there are people into
this kind of music. I am not. It is sort of techno without the flare or
excitement. The game play is fun in Chime Sharp. I wish there was some
kind of an endless mode without a timer to just enjoy putting down
patterns. I might be capable of actually finishing a board that way.
Practice mode is the closest to what I am looking for.
I like Chime Sharp. I wish this game was provided in the physical copy
format. I wish Chime Sharp had a more casual mode that let gamers
progress through the entire game. I also wish Chime Sharp was on one of
the home consoles. Or more than one of the home consoles. I hope this
game ports to them in the future. I would also like to see Chime Sharp
at retail.
