Chromodyne Unleashed on iPhone App Store
October 16, 2009 | Arsen Nazaryan
Celsius Game Studios, the work of one-man team Colin Walsh, released Chromodyne into the App Store on October 15. Although it is priced at $1.99, it is on sale currently for $0.99 cents to celebrate its release. I will provide a description of the game, but also have to commend Walsh on his creativity and use of humor.
“Gameplay is a twist on the traditional match-three style gameplay, with 5 concentric rings made up of different colored shapes. You have to rotate the rings and line up 3 or more of the same color and shape in a line going towards the center in order to clean up the MESS and add to your score” says the website. And I have to admit, it sounds pretty interesting. The story is that you’re the last to defend Earth from disaster by solving the match-3 puzzle and not allowing whatever object is heading towards it–be it an asteroid or comet–collide with the planet. To do this, you must utilize the Chromodyne, or the Quantum Chromodynamic Cyclotron, and you must utilize it well! For now, Celsius has two available game modes: Story and Survival; developer Colin Walsh promises more with perhaps a multiplayer and new story levels.

When it comes to marketing, Walsh has set up a few fake “studies” (if you can call it that) about Chromodyne, including one that compares the game to “a common consumer item of comparable price”: coffee. And if you think that’s humorous, here’s something else to tickle your funny bone. I encourage anyone with an iPhone to check out the game’s official website and watch the videos, maybe this is something that will intrigue you. Under any circumstance, it’s worth supporting the developer while the game is only $0.99.
