Evaluation
Chime launched on September 6, 2010 as a complete, self-contained puzzle game featuring six levels, free-play mode, and a curated soundtrack from artists including Moby and Paul Hartnoll (Orbital). The store description describes a fully packaged experience with no mention of planned additions or ongoing content. The three developer news posts from 2015 all pertain exclusively to a separate sequel project — Chime Sharp — including its announcement, Kickstarter campaign, and a Steam demo release. None of these posts announce new content for the original Chime. There has been no developer communication of any kind since July 18, 2015, and no post-launch content updates were ever released for this game. Chime shipped as a finished product and has remained unchanged since launch.

About this game
A Zoë Mode production for the video game charity initiative OneBigGame, Chime pits gamers against the melody in an all-new puzzle experience. Place blocks against the clock,
complete solid quads and try to cover the whole playing surface, all the while remixing and embellishing pieces by musicians from across the planet. And you get to feel good about yourself,
too: The console version of Chime was originally developed for OneBigGame with all the developer’s royalties going to Charity for sales up to June 2010, and Zoe Mode will continue to donate a proportion of its royalties (equivalent to 5% of purchase price) for sales of the Steam version. OneBigGame always aims to donate a minimum of 80% of all donations to its charity partners Save the Children and the Starlight Children's foundation.

- Experience: Each of the six unique levels is made up of its own music, grid, and shape sets, including the new Portal-inspired sixth level: “Still Alive”.
