Chronovolt is a new steampunk platformer for Vita from Playerthree, and it is set to arrive on PSN next week.
According to a developer entry on the PS Blog, Chronovolt’s development was inspired by HG Wells’ The Time Machine, as the team felt the concept of a time manipulation device would provide interesting gameplay mechanics which could be manipulated using Vita’s touch controls.
In Chronovolt, more control has been given to the analogue sticks, while the rear screen controls the camera and the front screen intermittent challenges.

Not renewing my PlayStation Plus membership if these ridiculous games keep ending up on there. (USA)
Chronovault? Really...?
Some lame MBA title?
That's right. I share the same opinion as pretty much everyone posting in the USA PS Blog...
Not sure which two of the sales I should get. AC2, Just Cause 2, and Shadow of the Colossus.
Inform me, users of N4G.
The game and the first DLC will be available in the US in the 31st of December. The game will be free for PS+ subscribers.
Thanks for this interview and a big hello to all your readers. Follow us on @PlayerthreeUK for the latest news on our games. We have more games coming to PSN.
Over here in EU we already got the game and I would just like to say that it is not worth buying. If you really think you want this game that bad then just get PS+ since you will get it for free and that is supposed to be the price of the game.
As part of the offer PlayStation Plus for the PlayStation Vita, which premiered over the relatively short time Chronovolt received much coverage in the pre-launch. After the first trailer never left my mind that Chronovolt is an evolution of Kula Word, a super rare classic PlayStation the first that made me lose hours. Unfortunately Chronovolt displays a multitude of problems that make it hard to recommend even for those with PlayStation Plus and you can download for free.
Playing as a heroine named Jessica generic, control metal balls called Chronospheres with the task of ending the corruption of a mad scientist. To do this, you need to gather energy called Chronovolt, navigate levels in a short period of time, and avoid the enemies that will try to block your progress. At least that Chronovolt does well, offering small departures for short play sessions, ideal for portable consoles.
That rewinding looks incredible. The way the ball doesn't even spin during it is a fantastic effect. Not lazy at all.
Cant believe this is the one game I don't own that I get free with my plus subscription. Damn you EU PSN. I want jet set radio.
