Chime is the first release from One Big Game, "a videogames charity initiative… best compared to Live Aid," with the goal of donating the proceeds from releases under their banner to children's charities around the world. Chime is not, on the other hand, developer Zoë Mode's first release. Zoë Mode is the developer behind a variety of music games, including some SingStar and SingIt games.
Chime takes inspiration from games like Tetris and Lumines to bring a surprisingly addictive music puzzle to Xbox Live Arcade. Placing various block shapes on the board to form 3x3 or larger blocks changes the music as the clock ticks down. Cover the board and keep your combo going to rack up more time and a higher multiplier.
