The new \u2018Super Deluxe\u2019 version, now downloadable on PS3, adds new songs, levels, and multiplayer modes.<\/p>\n<p>Just like any other good puzzler, Chime Super Deluxe is easy to learn but hard to master. You must place shaped blocks onto a grid playfield. When a 3&#215;3 square or larger is made, it\u2019ll be ready to clear. Before it does, a meter will fill up in the square, which gives you an opportunity to build onto it for more points. Make adjacent squares to increase your combo score, too.<\/p>\n<p>Just like Lumines, a line goes from left to right over the playfield. When it passes over the 3&#215;3 or larger squares that you\u2019ve made, they\u2019ll disappear. Underneath where the disappeared square was, the tiles will change color. Make 50 percent of the tiles change in a given time to unlock the next song. Make 100 percent of the tiles change and you\u2019ll go to a new playfield under the same tune for more points and challenge. Chime Super Deluxe features single player, and competitive and co-operative multiplayer modes, too.<\/p>\n<p>The songs in the game are mostly techno electronic stuff. As you place blocks on the field, they\u2019ll add notes and instruments to the songs as the clearing line runs past them, so you\u2019re making your own music as you play. Most of the songs are pretty good, but a couple are annoying and one sounds like cats howling in pain (Silence, I\u2019m referring to you). But other than that, Chime Super Deluxe is a worthy download if you enjoy puzzlers like Lumines, Tetris, or Loopz (anyone remember that one?).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamesanityblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/CHIME_SCREEN.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5955\" title=\"CHIME_SCREEN\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamesanityblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/CHIME_SCREEN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/CHIME_SCREEN.jpg 504w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/CHIME_SCREEN-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/CHIME_SCREEN-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the game is hard to master, even young kids can grasp the simple concept, and the challenge isn\u2019t too frustrating for them to pass levels.
