“Chime Sharp represents the next step in the path that Ste Curran and Zoë Mode took with the original game,” said Ian Baverstock, CEO of Chilled Mouse. “Our goal now, as it was then, is to have players engage with and remix quality music through compelling gameplay, seamlessly blending the two elements. We’re so proud of the roster of musicians we got to work with for Chime Sharp, and we hope players will feel the same way when they start remixing those amazing tunes themselves!”

Chime Sharp delivers a unique take on tetris-like experience incorporating music as an essential part of the gameplay. The melodic ambience is created by the lineup of the most distinguished international electronic music artists:Kavinsky, CHVRCHES, Steve Reich, Los, Chipzel, Andy Hung, Message to Bears, Timothy Schmalz, Magic Sword, Shirobon, Noveller, Haiku Salut, Luc Grey, A Mote of Dust, and Symbion Project.

“I was absolutely thrilled to work on Chime Sharp. It’s a fantastic little game that perfectly combines music sequencing with challenging gameplay”, said Niamh Houston, aka Chipzel. “My track “Psychonaut” was created with the gameplay in mind – entwining multiple layers that progressively build to compliment the final arrangement and written with the intention of awarding the player as they advance, through evocative melodies and euphoric transitions.”
