In Chronoscope, you are in charge of keeping the multiverse's timelines on track.  If you don't stick to the timeline, then it becomes unstable and spawns a divergent branch!

Disclaimer:  This game is in a prototype stage.  As as, there is no win condition or score feedback for matching the lines.  But appreciate any feedback on the core mechanic!  We will be updating this project after the jam.  :)

How To Play

• You are shown a reference timeline (dashed line)
• Load line segments into the three slots on the bottom of the screen
  • Tune each segment using the tuning dial and shaper arrow keys to select a line type
  • Press the yellow button  to load a line
• When you have three lines loaded, press the green button to send the lines to the scope
  • You cannot add less than three at a time.
• At regular intervals your timeline will be compared to the reference
  • Your timeline will then move to the left, scroll the reference timeline using the horizontal and vertical knobs to keep adding matching lines
• If you didn't match well enough, another timeline will spawn
  • Click the connector ports on the right to switch channels and modify multiple timelines.  Your selected timeline will be highlighted with a glowing effect.
• If more than four timelines spawn, the multiverse loses stability and it's Game Over
