Chime Sharp

Chime is a block-dropping game. Players control a single shape at a time, and can move, rotate, and then place it onto a grid. A beatline moves across the grid in time with the music, setting off events when it hits placed shapes. Quads are created by placing shapes in solid blocks of 3x3 or more.

When a quad is completed and the beat line hits, different musical samples are triggered dependent on its shape. The size of the quad denotes the score, and multipliers can be achieved by having several quads on the screen at once. Once the beatline hits a completed quad, it is stamped down into the grid, earning the player coverage. : when the stage's time runs out, all active quads—those that have not finished filling up—are immediately scored and added to the player's coverage, in order to allow awards of coverage bonus time and continued play.)

The Xbox 360 version and Chime Super Deluxe received "generally favorable reviews", while the PC version received "mixed or average reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN said of the Xbox 360 version, "Chime is easy to recommend. It's cheap, it'll keep you amused for hours, and the $5 you spend goes to charity." However, Edge gave the Super Deluxe edition a score of six out of ten, saying, "At worst, the game's deliberate openness means theme and gameplay have a tenuous relationship."

As of January 2011 the Xbox 360 version sold over 32,974 units worldwide.
