Introduction Hi, I’m Michael Mitchell Reviewing Chime Favorite games: HL2, Psychonauts, Portal, SMB3, Civilization4.
Game’s Theme Its very similar to Tetris. It’s all about the music. Fill in groups of at least 3x3 blocks and the player is rewarded with a large portion of the current songs main theme or chorus. Individual blocks act as notes. Songs from artists like: Philip Glass, Moby, Jonathan Coulton, and more.
Motivation The music is very catchy. The background beat can be repetitive, found myself wanting to complete as many combos as possible to keep the music going.
Mechanics The background beat or sound plays throughout the level. As the level plays out, the location of the blocks act as as musical notes in a song. Player controls the different shaped blocks and forms groups of at least 3x3. Each group earns the player coverage over that area. Attempting to acquire 100% coverage is the objective; but not required to move on to the next level.
Conclusion Fun game with hours of play time. Costs only $5. Timed and free modes. Costs only $5. 80% of the proceeds goes to charity. Save the Children and the Starlight Children’s foundation.
