BorderLeap’s ‘Minimize’ Features Progressively-Expanding Sliding Block Puzzles

BorderLeap, fine purveyor of stylish minimalist puzzle games and “headphones recommended" splash screens, has a new puzzler in the works, set to release by the end of the year. Minimize is a block-sliding puzzle, where you slide all blocks in a single direction, and any blocks of the same color that wind up in contact with each other disappear. So, leaving a single block of a particular color around is not recommended at all.

The clever twist of Minimize is that the levels all progressively expand on each other, so levels start to shift and modify slightly from the previous one in such a way that you won’t even realize how much the game has expanded over the 100 levels. Minimize doesn’t have a concrete release date yet, but it will be before the end of the year. Also, the game will be paid with neither ads nor IAP, featuring iCloud support. Check out the forum thread for Minimize to chat more about this one.
