Analog Addiction writes: "Shapes. We deal with them on a daily basis yet they are almost forgotten, however we have seen many game developer’s utilise shapes to showcase some interesting ideas. Thomas Was Alone provided a deep tale of society, one that allowed us to care for the multitude of different shapes on screen. Then there was Sound Shapes which offered us a beautiful musical selection as we tackled some difficult platforming sections, all as a simple shape.
Expand is another title looking to focus on a shape, a simple square to be exact. Expand offers its own version of deep meaning, as well as a beautiful musical selection and ever-increasing levels of difficulty. Though Expand may have traits from other successful uses of shapes, Expand quickly showcases that behind its simple design there is a unique amount of challenge.
I recently had the opportunity to go hands-on with Expand, as I got to experience an early build which was showcased at this year’s Tokyo Game Show."
A review of the indie puzzle game Expand by Chris Johnson on its console debut. John takes some time to pass his thoughts on the game
A world set in five stages, Expand offers an atmospheric experience of exploration, discovery and introspection through gameplay and compelling soundtrack designed to immerse you deeply into its allegorical themes.
Chris writes: "PlayStation has long embraced indie games. Ever since its launch conference back in February 2013, Sony has been adamant about its close relationship with independent developers, seeking to launch the next big indie hit to stardom." Could Expand be that game?
