Chrontron was one of the 2008 PAX 10
independant games showcased at the Penny
Arcade Expo, and has been featured on G4TV's
X-Play, The Wall Street Journal, and the
Associated Press.
Chronotron is a 35 level
puzzle/platformer. Each level contains a
unique physics-based puzzle that must be
solved by interacting with past versions of
your character. As you play, the game records
all of your movements. When you use the Time
Pod to travel back to the beginning of the
level, you see a past version of yourself
doing exactly what you did before entering
the pod. You can create as many copies of
yourself as you need to solve the puzzle, but
be careful not to change the past too much.
If you interfere with a past self's ability
to return to the Time Pod, you cause a
PARADOX and must restart the level! Puzzle
elements include pressure buttons, gates,
lifts, balancing scales, see-saws, weighted
crates, disappearing floors, moving floors,
smashers, and laser tripwires. Some levels
include a one-use item that lets the player
freeze time.
