Chronometer
"Chronometer" is a browser-based, retro 8-bit simulation game where players step into the role of a novice watchmaker, progressing through levels to design, manufacture, assemble, and test mechanical watches. Inspired by real horology, it blends educational trivia and mini-games with pixel art interactions, chiptune audio, and CRT effects for a nostalgic experience. Players earn scores, XP, and unlocks while avoiding errors in a timed, skill-based challenge, culminating in custom watch exports.

I click on tutorial and it asks me trivia questions. Clicking in the interface after that 3 times I get a game over popup with random characters. Is this AI created?
Thanks for playing and for taking the time to leave a comment, I appreciate it. I use AI for coding, and this game is still in development with a tutorial update that was released yesterday. The bug in that release is being worked out now and an update will be released today.
Interesting concept, but I have no idea how to do anything and the tutorial didn't explain the controls or mechanics.
Thank you for playing and for the insightful comment, working on fixing the tutorial now and will release an update soon.
This has been updated with a more interactive tutorial now, please try it out and let me know if you have any other suggestions of improvements that can be made. Thanks!
