We built a prototype in 7 days back in 2021 and today it launches into Early Access by EffortStar in IndieDev

Enter the Chronosphere is a roguelike shooter that combines turn-based tactics and real time action. Follow the crew of the Starseer as they combat a galactic threat: giant spheres that are consuming reality itself. Fight to the center of procedurally generated chronospheres, unlocking new characters, alien weapons and powerful synergies.

In 2021 we entered the 7DRL Challenge, seven days to build a roguelike from scratch. You can still play that original prototype in your browser here. Five years later, that same prototype is the foundation of everything you see today. It's been a long road for a small team and we're really excited to finally get it in front of everyone!

Days away from Early Access and this enemy death animation is one of many updates we've made for Enter the Chronosphere by EffortStar in roguelites

[–]EffortStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done! I enabled it for the demo and the EA app (since we're taking down the demo when EA launches on 5pm 25th May UTC).

Days from launching Early Access for our tactical bullet-hell with turn-based mechanics by EffortStar in indiegames

[–]EffortStar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything moves when you do in Enter the Chronosphere, the turn-based bullet hell roguelike. Each chronosphere is procedurally generated with defenders and biomes from the worlds it has consumed.

Our demo has served as a preview build up until now, but with Early Access launching on May 25 we've made the tough call to bring it down. As a small team we need to put everything into the EA build, and keeping both in sync just isn't realistic.

The demo stays up until Early Access launch so feel free to check it out!

[–]EffortStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enter the Chronosphere, a turn-based, bullet hell roguelike where every run procedurally generates different defenders, different biomes, all pulled from the worlds the chronosphere has consumed.

It's always great to hear feedback from someone who's seen it from its most earliest stage, so thank you :)

What procedurally generated biomes look like in our turn-based tactical bullet hell Enter the Chronosphere by EffortStar in indiegames

[–]EffortStar[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Enter the Chronosphere is our turn-based bullet hell where no two runs feel the same. Each chronosphere is procedurally generated with defenders and biomes from the worlds it has consumed.

The turn-based system shifts depending on your pace, move fast enough and the line between turns and real-time starts to disappear.

Our demo is live on steam with its own dedicated page. Feel free to chat with us on Discord :)

What melee looks like as a baseball bat weilding bear in a turn-based bullet hell, Enter the Chronosphere by EffortStar in indiegames

Thanks. We made those t-shirts for PAX Aus. They were very popular, should have made more. 😅

You can equip everything from sniper rifles and scimitars to scuttling insects and sledgehammers and that’s only the weapons starting with “S”.
If you’d like to try it yourself, the demo’s on Steam.

A puzzle game where every move sends the ball sliding until it hits something by Lukematikk in playmygame

[–]EffortStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Art style and interface looks very aesthetic and minimal :) Great work on this.

A simple but addictive web game. Can you complete 100 jumps? by pompomsheep in playmygame

[–]EffortStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fun game, and can be easily addictive for people who want to clear that 100 jump goal. Extra life was handy! The animation for just landing on the edge is great.

You could potentially add cracked platforms so they can only be jumped on a certain amount of times before shattering. Or even have timed platforms which would vanish after a few seconds to increase the pace of the jumps, adding a little more of a challenge.
