Introduction: Chirality is a retro-styled game for PCs. The aim is simple in practice, but a bit tricky to explain. You need to activate your control when two matching shapes pass one another. If you get it wrong, you loose a life, bringing you closer and closer to game over.

Accessibility Features: The game features two difficulty levels, being a PEACE or PANIC mode which are self-explanatory (okay, one is nice and slow, the other is a lot more hectic). You can also choose an EASY, MEDIUM or HARD game.

Navigating the menu may be a little tricky for some, as you will need to be able to read English instructions and have good timing skills. There are no options to slow menu scanning down.

Players will also need good shape recognition skills to play the actual game. The PEACE mode is quite slow and the game can be slowed down even further using CPU Killer.

It is possible also to choose to play the game with just music, just speech, both or none, which can be useful in aiding concentration.

Controls:The game uses just the SPACE BAR for gameplay and navigating menus. You can also use the ESCAPE key to quit the game at any time.

Because this is a keyboard based one-switch game, a huge range of controllers can be used to play it with providing you get them to act as the SPACE bar.

Conclusion: A simple but fun one-switch game which won't appeal to all gamers - but I liked it a lot. OneSwitch.org.uk rating 3/5
