Dive into the engaging world of Synchronous: The Metal Box Game, a captivating 2D puzzle platformer where the challenge lies in navigating metal boxes that move in perfect harmony. Each box boasts unique abilities, but the core mechanic that keeps the gameplay intriguing is the magnet feature—allowing each box to cling to any metal surface at your command. This innovative mechanic is what sets Synchronous apart, offering a fresh twist on the puzzle-platformer genre.
Embark on a journey through over 45 meticulously designed puzzle levels, spread across five thrilling chapters. Each chapter introduces a variety of gizmos and gadgets that you must master to reach your goals. The initial 30 levels are available at no cost, providing ample opportunity to get hooked on the game's mechanics. For those eager to take on the most ingenious and challenging puzzles, an additional set of levels can be unlocked for a one-time purchase of US$2.99.
Every level holds a secret collectible, rewarding players who think outside the box. The game seamlessly blends platforming and puzzle-solving challenges. In platforming levels, the stakes are high—destroy one box, and you'll need to restart. However, this rule doesn't apply to the purely puzzle-based levels. If you believe any level has been categorized incorrectly, I'm all ears for your feedback.
Completing chapters comes with the added thrill of time trials, allowing you to test your speed and skill once you've explored the entire game. Your progress, including completed levels, times, and collectibles, is saved automatically, ensuring you can always pick up where you left off.
As Synchronous: The Metal Box Game is still in its development phase, your input is invaluable. I'm keen to receive your feedback and criticism on all aspects of the game, which you can easily submit via the link on the Title Screen. The game currently features five layered music tracks, enhancing your gaming experience. Keep an eye out for regular updates (though they may not come on a fixed schedule), and feel free to share any suggestions you have.
Thank you for joining the adventure!
