chro.mono has now also been ported to DOS. No sound in this port, because Sound Blaster DMA is tricky, and I don't feel like debugging it.
Also, the rasterizer isn't optimized at all (it's basically the OpenGL ES game, with the rasterizer replaced by an 8-bit software rasterizer I wrote, targetting 256-color Mode 13h, at 320x200). This means you might want to try this on a modern-ish CPU with FreeDOS. Load a mouse driver (e.g. ctmouse).
If you like what you see, feel free to buy the game here on Itch.io or over at the Apple App Store. The mobile game features touchscreen and motion controls as well as audio output. And if you like DOS games in general, feel free to check out my other DOS content on thp.itch.io.
Update: Version 2.4.1 now available with a timer-related performance fix.
