Ranked from 29 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
You travel to the past and must return to the present, but you don't really remember who you are. We incorporate the theme through the narrative—the struggle of being unable to return to the present, losing your memories, and even forgetting your own identity. We enhance the narrative through mechanics such as traveling between different eras and unlocking achievements, which serve as fragments of memory leading to alternative endings.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Sprites: Energy, Awards and Gear Config
Shader Transition: https://assetstore.unity.com/account/assets

This game has a really different concept and it is well executed. However the road and environment moving out of sync kind of made it difficult to look at. A few more effects and some extra sound effects would have made the experience even better. Other than that a great game. Keep Up the good work!

Cool game! I got a little dizzy because of the different speeds the road and the side environments were going at, but other than that this was a fun little runner with a cool twist!

You have a solid gameplay loop and the graphics are pretty good. Overall, it was a pretty fun experience and a nice jam game.

Nice work! Great style and fun gameplay, challenging but entirely manageable with patience rather than panic. Good stuff!

Finally a straight forward simple game without 100 instructions on how to play! Great job, I loved the transition!

Insane transition between levels connected with change of music. I liked that game wasn't too fast. Great game!

Cool little game. I enjoyed the music. Feels like an old-school game with how the car moved through the landscape!

Simple little game. The music of each level are the highlight for me

Developer

Thank you for appreciating the music

Submitted(+1)

Really enjoyed how different each section felt - the music really carried the vibe here. The movement of the car was pretty good! I had a few instances where the chrono-battery things would spawn on top of a hazard - was that intentional? 
Either way, I did enjoy my playthroughs. I think there's a pretty decent game in here. 

Developer

Its not intentional just a bug :(. I'm glad you enjoyed playing!

Cool mechanic! And I also loved the music, having a different vibe for each era is nice.

But I want to point out that at first I didn't know what would hurt me and what wouldn't, so I thought the 'thing' we get to unlock time travel was an obstacle.

Other than that, this was a fun game, great work!

Loved the music! Not some many entries pay so much attention to the music and I appreciate that!

Developer

We want to create an ambiance for each era with the music. Thanks for appreciating it!

Submitted(+1)

Great. There's something I like about a straightforward arcade game.

It has a nice sense of progression.

I quit when I hit a train across the road. I guess I should have time shifted? I would have replayed the level, but I didn't want to start over from zero.

Developer(+1)

Yes, it's like a puzzle. If you press Shift, the train disappears in this case. Thanks for your feedback. I'll add some waypoints so you don't have to start from zero.

The time travel mechanic has potential, but imo each era should have a unique mechanic to stand out more. Also, it was hard to figure out which was and wasn't an obstacle at first. Good music, though :)

Developer

Thanks for your feedback

Nice, simple and well executed. Enjoyed my time with it!

Developer

I'm glad you had a good time playing Chrono Shift.

The game works great and has a nice style. I think it would be more exciting if it was harder

Developer

Thanks for the feedback

i love the sound effects and the artstyle, but i think the readability could be a bit better - maybe highlighting the pieces we're collecting or giving it a small "shine" animation could be enough. the movement of the elements could some work too, but overall good work! really loved the wat the music updated itself based on the time i'm in while keeping the same base. 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback

Developer

Developer
