About Chroma Shift
CHROMA SHIFT is a cooperative, side-scrolling puzzle game, where the players utilize different colours throughout the environment to solve challenging puzzles. Set in a devastated future version of earth the players must uncover the secrets of the past and find a way to restore power to their home.
Standing in their way are co-operative color based puzzles that the two characters must overcome with clever use of their abilities and shifting between different colored energy sources. Theta, a large hydraulic based machine can smash through obstacles in his way and carry and throw heavy objects. Psi, a smaller, four armed machine, can transform and bypass security terminals to gain access to new areas.

Key Features:
- Cooperative Focus - Every part of the game designed with two players in mind. Taking on this challenge by yourself will prove difficult, bring a friend, help each other. You’ll need them for what you’ll face.
- 6 Uniquely Themed Environments - Whether you're exploring the depths of the Foundry, or trying to make it through the Arboretum, each environment has its own unique look and feel
- Mind Bending Puzzles - With over 60 puzzles to solve! It might be two dimensional movement, but you’re going to need to think in more than just a straight line if you plan on making it past the facilities defenses.
- Colours Everywhere - Each area requires the use of the correct energy source to progress. These energy sources are represented by a certain colour. Objects with the same energy source will aid you. But beware, for objects of any other energy source will hinder or even harm you.
- Environmental Narrative - The very world you walk through tells a story, whether it be the purpose of the area you are exploring, or something about the world, each area has interesting things to see or think about, if you care to look.
- Collectibles - The environment tells one half of the story, but scattered throughout the facility are fragments of information you can find. N.O.D.E.s are hiding all around, carrying either schematics, or audio logs. Each of these holds an interesting piece of information on objects, characters or history.
- Colour Blind Mode - Customisable Colours so you can change each main colour to your personal preference for comfortable and easy play.
- Steam Friends Integration for easy invite and play
- Same-Screen Co-op: 2 players on the keyboard, 1 controller and 1 keyboard or 2 controllers.
- Steam Achievements - See if you can get them all!

4.5/10 It's unfortunate that I can't give Chroma Shift a recommendation. I liked the environmental design and theme, and thought the puzzles were excellent. I also loved the fact that each player plays a different character. One character can operate computer consoles, roll into a ball to navigate through small spaces, and capture a color to be used later. The other can hover across gaps, charge through weakened walls, throw their partner up into the air, or carry weighted cubes. Generally, each room requires that you and your co-op partner acquire certain colors to stand on corresponding pads to open the exit door (although from time to time you'll use a colored cube to activate the pad instead). You can acquire these colors by walking through colored barriers, activating color orbs, or even being shot with colored projectiles. There will be certain barriers in each room that you will be unable to pass through or devices you will be unable to activate unless you are the appropriate color. Some of the puzzles are downright devious, and the challenge may be in avoiding other colors just as often as it is in acquiring a certain color. Where the game really falls apart is with its …2 found this helpful
Good two player puzzle game, but it still seems to be quite buggy in places. The puzzles are a mix of difficulties, with a decent amount of thought required for most of them. On occasion we seem to skip a couple levels or reload our save back to a different location. We've also found the load just ends up with a black screen and we just have to reload a few times, likewise sometimes different sections/levels don't render particularly well. There is a story that goes along with the puzzles but I don't feel its added anything to the game/we haven't felt its been necessary to our gameplay. Overall its a good game, which we are enjoying, but with some improvements to be made.1 found this helpful
I have the same problem as Massaokakesu, TankBob and iamusername that was reported 31 Dec, 2018. The developer has not fixed nor has the developer done anything. I would suggest people buy a different game until they fix this problem, don't waste your money on this.
this is a fantastic, clever, beautiful coop experience. buy-it-now
Very fun but sooo many bugs with controls + game screen keeps blacking out.
This game looks really nice and interesting but there are too many bugs that make the game unplayable.
