Expand... Well Everything Next Week
Expand is a indie title that is set to release next week, but this is no basic game, it changes as you play, with the maze rotating and expanding as you move around it.
“What I found interesting about creating Expand” says developer Chris Johnson, “is how you can convey a lot of emotion and movement using minimal colours and patterns. “The world can feel seamless as the unfamiliar space revolves around the player with no distinct loading breaks and this unfamiliarity is heightened by the soundtrack that cues off animations to the note.”
The player guides a pink square around a monochromatic world that constantly shifts and repels the player, often misplacing them in the world they’re navigating. What is really impressive about the title though is it was made by two people, Chris Johnson and Chris Larkin. Anyone keen on picking up this wonderful gem of a game can do so on Steam, Humble and itch.io from September 30th.
