Compress(Space) Demo Adds Chinese Language Support and Upcoming Gamepad Controls

Compress(Space) rolls out Chinese language support for its demo while preparing foreground parallax effects and upcoming gamepad controls.

A new monthly update for Compress(Space) details visual upgrades, demo localization additions, and testing schedules for controller support ahead of the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase.

Localization and Controls

Chinese language support is now live in the demo, implemented with help from community translators. Meanwhile, native gamepad support has entered the playtesting phase and targets a May 28 release date.

Visual and Trailer Updates

Development continues on graphical features for an upcoming Thinky Direct trailer. New updates include foreground parallax effects, an updated general tileset, and a distinct tileset with unique parallax layers specifically for the water biome.

Why this patch matters

The addition of Chinese language support opens the demo to more players, while impending controller support will make puzzle-solving more accessible on hardware.
