Expand PlayStation®4 Announce Trailer


Expand will take PS4 players through a labyrinth of rotating, expanding and twisting gameplay in the first project from London-based indie publisher.

Originally released on Steam in 2015 by Chris Johnson and Chris Larkin, Expand met with critical acclaim as the 2D minimalist game challenging players to lead a pink square through a labyrinth that constantly rotates, unfolds and expands with the intent to disorientate and harm you.

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.

Expand on PlayStation®4  offers extras with PlayStation Trophies, a Bundle package with the game’s soundtrack and new language support in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).

“As our first project, we’re delighted to utilise our invaluable experience to port a much-loved and successful game to PlayStation®4,” says Martin Hann, Co-Owner of UKIYO Publishing.

“We provide indie developers a great platform to get their games in front of a wider audience and the opportunity to increase their potential revenue with a larger install base.

“Expand is just the beginning and we look forward to publishing more titles in the future,” says Martin.

UKIYO Publishing was founded at the beginning of 2017 with a combined experience of over ten years in the video games industry, offering its proficiency in porting and publishing indie games to Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo platforms.

Chris Johnson, developer of Expand, is delighted to be working alongside UKIYO publishing for the game’s October release.

"The entire process with UKIYO has been very seamless - they've been great to work with," says Chris.

"Expand was made to be played on consoles and so we're thrilled to finally bring it to the PS4."

Review by Jon Donnis
If like me you are the kind of person who misses those top view arcade racers that we all loved in the 90s then this is arcade perfection. I had Micro Machines on the NES back in the early 90s, and I feel like nothing since then has ever quite got it right when it comes to an arcade style top-down racer. Well the wait is finally over, Mantis Burn Racing is to 2017 what Micro Machines was to 1991. Just with incredible graphics, and a deep single player game that will keep you coming back again and again.

And now even better than the base game, which is already pretty awesome, they have just release the Battle Car DLC. So now we can race around and shoot at other drivers, lay mines and generally be even more awesome.

Can you tell that I really like this game yet?
The single player mode really is great, and that is something I want to bring attention to, as so many games these days concentrate so heavily on the multiplayer/online modes that the single player game suffers. Well this game has both. A lengthy single player career mode, which will keep you coming back to collect missed "gears", which are basically your trophies for achieving certain things in the game, like an "Awesome Drift" or destroying roadside obstacles. There are time trials, straight up races, events and so on. And with the Battle Cars add on, it is a whole new lot of vehicles to use, and events to complete.

The multiplayer games are cool too, lots of choices, although perhaps not enough people playing online at times means that I am sure you end up playing AI opponents. If you have a second controller you can have split screen action too which is fun.

A really fun game from top to bottom. Really excellent in game physics too, you really feel like you are in control of every action. And for all you gamer-point hunters, plenty of gamer-points to get too, and they aren't too hard to get either.

The game was excellent already, the Battle Cars add on is the cream on top of the already brilliant cake.

Available now on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Steam® (for Windows PC).

This is a game I have been waiting on for nearly 30 years, so I cant recommend it enough, great for any age.
9/10
