Many times it is the indies that innovate and try to advance the industry, rather than the big developers that have a reef with their sagas established in video game stereotypes.
And is that Back off, the developer behind Wunderling, a game that will hit Switch in 2020, he said in an interview to Nintendo Life
These were the statements of Niklas Istentes, the developer's CEO:
Many game designers believe that limitations stall creativity, while others think they boost it. I've always been fascinated by limitations in games, especially those of single button
. You can do amazing things with just one button, very difficult challenges and very accessible games at the same time. So, our first idea was to make a single-button accessible platform game.We started with a black square that went from side to side, bouncing off the walls and that could jump when you pressed a button. When we think about the script we ask ourselves «What creature can't stop and only changes direction when it bounces off a wall?
«. It was clear, many enemies of the first levels of many platform games have that behavior! And that's how Wunderling was born
