Developers: Chaser & Gomer
Date Released: May 29, 2007
Platform: Windows XP and Mac OSX
Genre: Puzzle Game

Information:

Welcome to Bound, the compact level based puzzle game. In Bound, players control a blue cube with the arrow keys and have to successfully navigate it through a maze covered with enemies (red cubes). In order to succeed in Bound, a player must have a good sense of timing as well as good reflexes. With its challenging level design (such as the level showcased by the screenshot below) a keen eye for timing and patterns is also a crucial trait to have when navigating your way through each stage! Bound was created in Blender by Gomer and Chaser. Gomer took the time to create a series of complex levels that will challenge even the most able players. Chaser was in charge of the programming aspects of the game, and together, they both successfully created a fun and addictive puzzle game.
