About this game CHRONO ACES · All-direction Dogfights Through Time
Development notes
Original game, classic genre
CHRONO ACES is GameNow's own game in the tradition of all-direction arcade shooters: its eras, bosses, fighters, story and art direction are its own. The era aircraft are open-licence 3D models from Sketchfab and OpenGameArt, recoloured with a red underglow as the legion's copies.
One-finger steering
Touch steering sets a heading rather than a turn rate: push toward a direction and the fighter turns there at its own speed, then holds it when you let go. Combined with auto-fire, one thumb is enough to play.
What you see is what you dodge
With friends, the server runs the rules at 30 Hz and sends the state at 15 Hz, while each browser flies its own fighter. Your hits and the hits on you are judged on your own screen; the server checks distance and how many shots you actually fired.
A different sky per era
Each era has its own ground, clouds and colour: wheat gold, cobalt sea, terracotta canyon, pink sunset city, white ice with aurora ribbons, and a violet-gold rift. Enemies glow red underneath and your fighter glows blue, so you can tell them apart on any background.
