Chrs 143

About

Chrs 143 is a puzzle simulator where you build, automate, and experiment in a 2D tile-based world governed by realistic physics. Guide a team of agents through a mysterious Lost World, gathering resources to construct machines, vehicles, and power plants. Solve environmental puzzles using principles of ballistics, fluid dynamics, and chemistry while navigating fog-covered terrain to locate and confront enemies. The game emphasizes trial and error, letting you design complex systems with automation bricks to manage energy needs and explore the landscape. The standout feature is its deep mechanics layered under minimalist visuals. With 72 levels and a user-created level editor, the game offers longevity beyond its single-player campaign. An experimental LAN multiplayer mode adds unexpected replayability for collaborative or competitive play. Players appreciate the balance between accessibility and complexity, though the learning curve can be steep. Since release in 2021 it’s maintained a dedicated niche audience drawn to its physics-driven creativity.

Storyline

Guiding a small group of "agents", you will gradually discover a Lost World, the seemingly simple graphics of which conceal its hidden complexity... You will learn to move in it, to understand its physical properties, to accumulate sufficient stocks of materials, to build structures, machines and vehicles, to engineer various types of power plants to fullfill your growing needs for energy, and to search, sometimes even in the fog of war, for the enemy that your destiny requires you to defeat... 72 built-in levels + unlockable User Level Editor and (experimental) unlockable LAN Multiplayer Mode
