No, no, I completely understand and agree but it always boggles me - how can someone sit there and write such a review as if they were forced into blind purchasing the game. Only thing I have to add is that I'm glad I'm not a developer/publisher!
If someone doesn't like the game, then that's just their opinion but if the person says what someone already mentioned, proclaims the obvious, that's just plain stupid. If someone hits the buy button without reading the description, you have yourself to blame.
Definitely agree with both of these posts. I would absolutely hate to be a developer on a game, having worked so hard on it, and to have it so summarily dismissed by a rogue individual with $5. By the way, what are everybody's favorite objects thus far? I haven't spent enough time on the Tree of Challenge to get a feel for favorites yet, but I really like Reservation, Hurry, Vanity, and Cooperation on the Tree of Reservation.
I felt kinda sad in the level Indolence. The bear looks so sad, like he know what's happening to him. (I know I could have used less rope but I made a stupid mistake immediately after the beginning when I should have covered the legs first - now I had to cover small leftover areas to get to 100%).
Long thread so apologies if this has been mentioned. Being a completist sort of guy is there a way to see if I have done 100% of a level? If we ignore avoiding the nail as one goal, I have 2 - 100% a level - use the shortest rope The rope measure I can see and the 3 dots mean I did well but don't show 100%. Am I missing something?
In Zen Bound, you can earn three flowers. One if you cover 70% of an object, the second if you cover 85%, and the last one if you cover - I believe - 99%. So 99% or 100%, yes it does have an unlockable achievement for that (the third flower).
Thanks - so 99=100 .. hmm.. I'd still like to know I did actually get 100. I know it's only 1% but it's still incomplete at 99.
I just checked, and it's indeed awarding the third flower at 99%. So you'll have to verify for yourself that you get 100% before touching the nail after getting the third flower. That's what I'm trying to do as well. By the way - you can get 100% with some small spots still unpainted. So even 100% isn't necessarily 100%.
I saw last night that some tiny spots could be left but it's what the code says I really want to enjoy every moment of the game and I want to go for that 100%. So far I will not progress to the next level unless I have got that 100%. But should a level frustrate me I want to know which it is relatively easily when I go back to it. I have a feeling that only flowers / rope are being recorded, not % which would explain it. It's not a dealbreaker and it's no less of a game simply because one person (me) likes 100% so I'll just have to be sure not to go up until 100% is hit.
Trust me: there will be times in the game when you are glad the threshold is 99% and not 100%. But I see your point. It would be nice to see your best percentage for each level.
I just wanted to point out that Zen Bound is in the top 50 games and top 100 for all apps. Let's hope the popularity explodes soon.
i hate when after first bell i touch by accident the nail and the certain sculpture ends. they should give 3 sec time after touching or just a finnish button. yah.
personally I think that the nail adds difficulty to the game. It makes one think harder and plan better. Please don't change it.
I'm collecting some feedback here, and listing the current topics that have been mentioned: Issues: - German translation is poor quality (Fixed, in testing, will be in the next update) - Dutch translation some issues as well (Fixed, in testing, will be in the next update) - Paint not spreading evenly on some levels (Thinnest rope behaves like that by design, but we'll see about changing it.) - Rope too sticky / not sticky enough (Won't change.) - Touching the glowing nail by accident ends the level (Most feedback from this, but not trivial to change... we'll investigate but no promises.) - On some levels, rope goes "off-screen" (We won't put in a zoom, we tried it and it caused more disorientation than helped. Remember the two-finger twist ) Requests: - Would be nice to rotate a finished object and not automatically end the level - Would be nice if the completion percentage was listed - Would be nice to have a gallery of sorts or something - Would be nice to grab wallpaper images - Would be nice to have more levels (Tree of Nostalgia, free extra 25 levels confirmed) If there are any other requests or issues, please let me know. I think this thread is a good place to discuss this. But keep in mind, even if your request is listed here, it does not mean it will happen.
