Enter the Chronosphere, the psychedelic turn-based bullet hell roguelike developed by Effort Star and published by Joystick Ventures. This innovative game will be showcased at Yogscast’s Tiny Teams 2024 event from Thursday, Aug. 8 to Thursday, Aug. 15.
Tiny Teams 2024, a streamer-focused event promoting indie developers, invites media and content creators to contact Zachery Bennett for access to an alpha version of Enter the Chronosphere. Creators with existing access are encouraged to revisit the alpha and explore the latest updates and new content.
While Effort Star prepares for the next public hands-on opportunity, fans can stay updated by following the studio’s TikTok. Enjoy development updates, thrilling gameplay moments, and humorous clips showcasing the many deaths in this challenging roguelike.
In Enter the Chronosphere, players seamlessly switch between turn-based tactics and real-time action, with time advancing only when actions are taken. This allows for precise tactical planning and rapid gameplay.
Wield unique multidimensional weapons such as insectoid ovipositors, face-melting Disintegrators, swift rapiers, and double-barreled shotguns. Battle through alien worlds consumed by the Chronosphere and discover devastating combinations of character abilities and weaponry to 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 will be featured at 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 details and to explore the new games showcased alongside Enter the Chronosphere.
