The Chronos Principle

This is one of my favorite iPhone games. Super-clever. I’d love more levels, and an editor to make your own levels would be great, too.

This game is a perfect pick-up-and-play, I-have-a-few-minutes-to-kill kind of game. The concept is straightforward and simple, but stylized with care. The puzzles are never too difficult, but nevertheless rewarding once solved. Everything is fair, well-paced, appropriately challenging, and aesthetically pleasing. I only took a few sit downs to finish, but a worthwhile experience each time.

The game is simple, but very clever. It requires to you to remember what you did before in order to progress. But that means you have to think not only about what you did, but what you’re going to do. So you’re constantly switching back and forth (especially in the later levels) between thinking into the future and then back into the past. It’s incredibly satisfying, and not overly challenging like some games. I would say it’s struck the perfect balance of being challenging and rewarding. There are currently only 77 levels, so you may only get a couple of hours of gameplay out of this, but at the “end” it says “Stay tuned for more to come”, so here’s hoping the developer continues to innovate and deliver more levels.

awesome game. challenges your vizualization skills. very unique and ingenious creation. cant wait for the next phase…

Love the design of the game. Derive from simple principles and build mind blowing levels. It is fun to figure out how time tricks work. To be honest the most levels before 76 are hardly challenging and acts as tutorials. Level 76 is perfect designed to use all skills learned from previous levels. Hope there will be more levels like Level 76. If the studio need level designer, I am interested to contribute to this game. Have lots of ideas in mind. This game reminds me of Jonathon Blow’s Braid.

Thanks 👍

Good game

While the idea is nice, the puzzles are really easy. Too many puzzle games with high ratings don't pose any serious challenge for the first 20 levels, or more, and I'm just not willing to keep playing until it gets hard. I can understand the need to have some training to learn the mechanics of a game, but 20+ levels of training is a bit much.

This game is unique, challenging and a blast. If you love puzzle games based in logical problem solving, you will fall in love with Chronos

I really enjoyed this innovative game. My only complaint is I wish there were more levels! Maybe more to come… ??
