    Loved the original Chimed, but this one just isn't nearly as fun nor relaxing. In standard mode the time goes too fast so I don't even have enough time to think about what I'm doing. I basically have to rush and fill stuff up as fast as I can. Sharp mode is too difficult, and I can't even manage to get to %60 to unlock the other modes after it because I die too fast(you have health in it).Loved the original Chimed, but this one just isn't nearly as fun nor relaxing.

Sharp mode is too difficult, and I can't even manage to get to %60 to unlock the other modes after it because I die too fast(you have health in it). The original chime at least had different time limits you could choose from, which made the game feel more laid back and you are able to enjoy the music more, but still had a sense of challenge. With this one, you only get like 2 minutes, and you might get some bonus time if you rush fast enough.

    The original chime was a much more trippy, relaxing and enjoyable experience, but this one seems to focus more on speed and challenge than the actual experience. The fact that I'm having problems completing even one Sharp mode basically means that the other half of the game is locked for me (you need to fill at least %60 in sharp mode to unlock other modes).

    Overall, It's still playable, just not nearly as enjoyable as the original. The music is also not as memorable(although maybe that's because I have such little time to progress & hear the full song).

    Disappointing, original is way better and much more simple.    … Expand

    Chime Sharp is like that old bicycle you’ve left in your garage for the past few years: the framework is solid, but the tires are flat. You take out your old hand-pump that barely works and start pumping away, and after all of the energy spent on that you can finally ride free. Perhaps my analogy is a bit cheesy, but it’s the truth. This game will not offer you a helping hand, so if you want to succeed, you’d best be prepared to put in a lot of effort. It might look a little bland, but it’s certainly not a bad way to spend some of your time. Honestly, if you’re a fan of electronic music and have a lot of patience, those are good reasons to try it.

    Chime Sharp takes the simple concepts of the original Chime and brings with it new music and new challenges and puts it together in a robust, affordable and unique package.

    Music based Tetris variation with its dynamically changing playing field is as good on consoles as it was on PC. A beautiful enhancement of a modern rhythm game classic.
