About the Game

Chroma Blasters is a solo developed top-down twin-stick arcade shooter where enemy waves are shaped by music. With over 130 music tracks and a fast, reactive color-matching gameplay, every track becomes a new battlefield.

Defend your position as you control a turret at the center of the screen, leveraging a pair of color-coded gun barrels and switching between two colors per barrel to destroy the oncoming threats.

Enemies spawn based on the music tracks highs, mids, and lows, surrounding your central turret in an evolving spiral of pressure. To survive the onslaught match your shots to the incoming enemies before they reach and destroy you.

In classic arcade style, score is king. Color-matched shots earn the greatest points and one-hit kills. Mismatched shots require multiple hits and score less. Take out enemies at greater distance to earn more bonus points for the kill. Your shield can save you once, but enemies it kills when destroyed won’t count to your score.

  • Independently aim each turret

  • Switch colors fast.

  • Prioritize threats.

  • Survive and score high.


  • Over 130 sound-driven levels - Every track is a new challenge
