A Zoë Mode production for the video game charity initiative OneBigGame, Chime pits gamers against the melody in this acclaimed puzzle experience.
Developed by Zoë Mode · Published by OneBigGame









Chime is a music-driven puzzle game in which you place and rotate shapes on a grid, aiming to form solid quads and cover the playing field before time runs out.
A sweeping beat clears and scores completed areas. Your placements also affect the music: filling the grid alters the track loop, individual pieces play notes, and completed quads trigger song samples.
The game has six levels, each with its own music, grid, and shape set. Reach 100% coverage to reset the grid and continue chasing a higher score, or choose free play for untimed music-making.
Players who enjoy Chime often describe its puzzle loop as satisfying, absorbing, or relaxing, and praise the music as a central part of the experience. Some say it kept them playing for hours, while others appreciate it as a brief, chill puzzle game. Criticism focuses on its limited amount of content; individual reviewers also report frustration with piece placement, criticize the sound system, or say the game will not launch on Steam Deck.
