About the Game

In Chyma and the Toll of Time, you'll play as the titular Chyma, a little bell trying to unravel the story of his people to save the planet. Chyma wields the power of the Rungback, allowing him to create a copy of himself that will follow his exact movements and actions. Using this ability, solve fun puzzles to ascend the temple, uncovering secrets and learning new powerful abilities along the way!

Solve puzzles with the Rungback!

Using Chyma's special abilities, create a copy of yourself to help solve puzzles. Your copy – the Reverb – will follow your path, allowing you to be in two places at once!

Uncover the mystery of the temple!

As Chyma makes his way through the levels, he will discover special artifacts that can help him learn more about the history of the temple and the ones who lived there.

Master many mechanics!

The temple is filled with all sorts of inventions, from guards to rolling balls to dangerous lasers. Chyma will have to learn to maneuver around and manipulate these obstacles in order to continue on his quest.

Save the world!

There's a meteor swiftly approaching, and the world is without a solution. Only Chyma is courageous enough to enter the mysterious temple to save his home.

Listen to dozens of songs!

Chyma and the Toll of Time features a dynamic sound system, meaning that the music in the level will change as you interact with the environment. One song can have dozens of variations depending on what obstacles are in each level and whether or not they are activated.

Play over 30 levels!

Chyma and the Toll of Time features five unique areas, each with several levels. In total, the game has over 30 levels and a few hours of puzzle-solving fun!
