A shape, a maze and an exit. Slide – Simple Yet Fun is the first game I’ve released as SimplyShapedGames, and it starts with that small set of ingredients.
You swipe to move through the maze, working out which route will get you to the finish. The uncluttered geometric style puts the walls, the openings and your next move in focus.
That starting point leaves room for different challenges. Timed levels add pressure, rotating stages change your bearings, and hidden walls make a familiar-looking board harder to read. Unlockable shapes, colours and trails give you a way to make the game your own.
For me, this is a first milestone: SimplyShapedGames now has a finished game for people to play.
Slide is available on Android through Google Play. You can also watch the showcase or explore the project.
