Chime is a music/puzzle video game developed by Zoë Mode for Xbox Live Arcade. The game is the first title released by the non-profit video game publisher OneBigGame. Chime was released on 3 February 2010.

On 26 August 2010, Zoë Mode revealed that a port of Chime was in development for the PC and would be released via Steam. This updated version of the game features a new level based on Still Alive, the theme song from the popular video game Portal. Chime is a block-dropping game that combines elements from both Lumines and Tetris.

Players control a single shape at a time, and can move, rotate, and then place it onto a grid. A beatline moves across the grid in time with the music, setting off events when it hits placed shapes. Quads are created by placing shapes in solid blocks of 3x3 or more.

When a quad is completed and the beat line hits, different musical samples are triggered dependent on its shape. The size of the quad denotes the score, and multipliers can be achieved by having several quads on the screen at once. Once the beatline hits a completed quad, it is stamped down into the grid, earning the player coverage.

The overall objective is to achieve 100% coverage to earn more time and score points.
