Four free games of laser beams and mirrors, for the Windows PC and Mac OS X. Features 200 levels of fun, 50 in each game! No cost, no ads, no popups, just a game that will absorb as much time as you're willing to spend on it.

Chromatron, the game that started it all!

It takes less time to download than this page did!

Chromatron 2

Chromatron 3: Geometry

Chromatron 4: Less is Not More

Chromatron 1, 2, 3, 4: The Complete Collection

All four of the above games in a zip file.

Windows Users

You should 'save' the file somewhere and then run it. If you open it directly, the save game data file will end up somewhere mysterious (the windows temp directory), and you may lose your progress. (If this happens, use 'Find Files' to look for a file called "chroma.dat" on your hard drive.)

Mac Users

Chromatron works under OS X 10.1 and later. Your progress is saved in Library/Preferences in your home folder.

Everyone

If you tell your friends about it and get them playing too, you can share progress and hints.

Hidden feature: press r to restart a level!

On Windows, press control-C and control-V to copy and paste level solutions as code strings you can share with friends by email, IM, or chat. OS X users use command-C and command-V or the commands in the edit menu.
