Focus

Focus is a compact experimental game from Jesse Venbrux, a developer well known for creating unusual little games that are difficult to describe without sounding slightly confused. Here, the emphasis is on concentration, timing and figuring out exactly what the game expects from you. Its stripped-down presentation puts the mechanics front and center, leaving very little visual clutter between the player and the challenge. Like many small indie games, it does not waste time explaining itself with a ten-minute tutorial or a parade of animated characters. You are given an idea, a few tools and the opportunity to experiment. The result is simple, quirky and pleasantly old-school in spirit, especially for players who enjoy games that make them think before they act.
