MELBOURNE, Australia – July 22, 2024 – Enter the Chronosphere, the psychedelic turn-based bullet hell roguelike developed by Effort Star and published by Joystick Ventures, bends reality with an appearance at Yogscast’s Tiny Teams 2024 from Thursday, Aug. 8 to Thursday, Aug. 15.
While Effort Star prepares the next opportunity for the general public to go hands-on, fans can now follow the studio’s TikTok. Catch up on the latest development updates from the team, watch some of the exciting moments that can occur with all the mayhem when time unfreezes, and enjoy some humorous clips from the many, many deaths that will occur.
In Enter the Chronosphere, flow freely between turn-based tactics and real-time action as time only advances when actions are taken. Bullets will hang in the air while you plan your turn, allowing precise tactical plays while under pressure and rapid, decisive gameplay when not.
Wield multidimensional weapons like insectoid ovipositors, face-melting Disintegrators, swift rapiers and double barreled shotguns. Fight through consumed alien worlds to the heart of each planet-eating Chronosphere. Find devastating combos of character abilities and weaponry, and save reality itself.
“We’re making this for people who love turn-based games but wish they played faster,” says Rhys, Director at Effort Star. “Turns out it’s also good for people who like fast games but are constantly being distracted by a baby or a kitten.”
Enter the Chronosphere takes part in Tiny Teams from Thursday, Aug. 8 to Thursday, Aug. 15. Follow Tiny Teams on social media and join the event’s official Discord for more event details, and be sure to check out all the new games showcased alongside Enter the Chronosphere in this year’s event.
