About This Game

CHROMA SHIFT is a cooperative, side-scrolling puzzle game, where the players utilize different colours throughout the environment to solve challenging puzzles. Set in a devastated future version of earth the players must uncover the secrets of the past and find a way to restore power to their home.

Standing in their way are co-operative color based puzzles that the two characters must overcome with clever use of their abilities and shifting between different colored energy sources. Theta, a large hydraulic based machine can smash through obstacles in his way and carry and throw heavy objects. Psi, a smaller, four armed machine, can transform and bypass security terminals to gain access to new areas.

Key Features:
  • Cooperative Focus - Every part of the game designed with two players in mind. Taking on this challenge by yourself will prove difficult, bring a friend, help each other. You’ll need them for what you’ll face.
  • 6 Uniquely Themed Environments - Whether you're exploring the depths of the Foundry, or trying to make it through the Arboretum, each environment has its own unique look and feel
  • Mind Bending Puzzles - With over 60 puzzles to solve! It might be two dimensional movement, but you’re going to need to think in more than just a straight line if you plan on making it past the facilities defenses.
  • Colours Everywhere - Each area requires the use of the correct energy source to progress. These energy sources are represented by a certain colour. Objects with the same energy source will aid you. But beware, for objects of any other energy source will hinder or even harm you.
  • Environmental Narrative - The very world you walk through tells a story, whether it be the purpose of the area you are exploring, or something about the world, each area has interesting things to see or think about, if you care to look.
  • Collectibles - The environment tells one half of the story, but scattered throughout the facility are fragments of information you can find. N.O.D.E.s are hiding all around, carrying either schematics, or audio logs. Each of these holds an interesting piece of information on objects, characters or history.
  • Colour Blind Mode - Customisable Colours so you can change each main colour to your personal preference for comfortable and easy play.
  • Steam Friends Integration for easy invite and play
  • Same-Screen Co-op: 2 players on the keyboard, 1 controller and 1 keyboard or 2 controllers.
  • Steam Achievements - See if you can get them all!

This game is so great! The graphics are simple, yet beautiful. The mechanics are amazing, and the controllers are really well put. The puzzles are sometimes rage-inducing, but in a good way, it feels great to solve them, and it makes you wanna come back for more! There's a really interesting background story that I need to pay attention to. I'll keep on playing! Congratulations to Tara and all of the DevOrDie team! There's certainly a really bright future ahead of you <3

Epic game. Great concept and well executed. Small bugs may be encountered as with any new game but totally worth it. Puzzles are fun and incredibly satisfying to complete. It's nice to find a game that doesnt hold your hand and explain every minor detail and ability to you. Each character has something cool and unique to add to the puzzles that overlap perfectly with the levels and challenges they present. Cant wait to get my friends in on this game for the co-op features. Definitely recommend.

4.5/10 It's unfortunate that I can't give Chroma Shift a recommendation. I liked the environmental design and theme, and thought the puzzles were excellent. I also loved the fact that each player plays a different character. One character can operate computer consoles, roll into a ball to navigate through small spaces, and capture a color to be used later. The other can hover across gaps, charge through weakened walls, throw their partner up into the air, or carry weighted cubes. Generally, each room requires that you and your co-op partner acquire certain colors to stand on corresponding pads to open the exit door (although from time to time you'll use a colored cube to activate the pad instead). You can acquire these colors by walking through colored barriers, activating color orbs, or even being shot with colored projectiles. There will be certain barriers in each room that you will be unable to pass through or devices you will be unable to activate unless you are the appropriate ...

It was fun so far, but what is this? Great fun actually. But at some point (just after we acquired the ability to carry colors for shifting into later) it just ends. We fall into the darkness. Can still move and hear sounds of us doing stuff. But can't see anything. Is this a bug? Is there something we're not understanding? Does anybody know how to fix this?

A great puzzle game that actaully makes you think and is very relaxing, the story is not given straight away you have to find and work for it in the form of collectables. Good for lower class systems.

Although the puzzles are ok the game is ultimately just boring. For some reason one doesn't really want to solve the puzzles - and then what's the point? If I realize what makes me not want to do these puzzles, then I'll update the review.

This is a fantastic puzzle platformer: * Both characters have their own set of abilities that are needed to manouver the mind bending levels. * Each area brings new mechanics from the disintegration rays in the Solarium to the company cubes to the color sprays creepy Arboretum. * The world is both wonderfully dystopian and futuristic. * The atmosphere comes to life with excellent 2.5D visuals and excellent audio Note: I’m only in the third act at the time of this review This is an under-rated gem and I hope that it gets more of the attention it deserves in the future :).

I have the same problem as Massaokakesu, TankBob and iamusername that was reported 31 Dec, 2018. The developer has not fixed nor has the developer done anything. I would suggest people buy a different game until they fix this problem, don't waste your money on this.
