    This game is sticking in my head too much. I was just at the doctor's and while talking to him the whole time, I was imagining wrapping rope around his LCD monitor and the stapler on his desk.

    Damn, I must be obsessed...

    Already #34 on the UK app store, well done!

    I'm really enjoying this game, it's so polished and there are plenty of items to wrap. Well worth my £2.99.

    I think that this is all we can ask for. It would be great if the Secret Exit team reconsiders this gameplay element, thinks about it, and can have an argumented statement of why they choose to go with the decision they take. (I'm not saying you should share all of that, as long as you feel confident with your decision)

    I agree with the first one. And if the second and third mean that I can take a screenshot of my finished, covered, object and save that in my photo album, I agree with those as well.
    And if they don't mean that - I'd like to add this as a request. ;)

    Thank you.
    It's flattering and overwhelming at the same time. The reviews that we've received in iTunes are fantastic and beyond anything we expected.

    So thank you Arn, thank you Touch Arcade.

    Feature Request:

    - Ability to restart from last wrap percentage. When the rope accidentally hits the nail, I exit out and when I go back in I have to start wrapping all over again

    I think this has more to do with the accidental touching of the nail than continuing the level, right? I mean, if you don't involuntarily end a level, then you're probably happy from your choice of finishing it.

    Sure but I don't know. Sometimes I need to do something and I always feel pressured to finish my current wrap because I know if I exit I'd have to restart again.

    Also, how does ZB currently handle call distractions while wrapping? Restart the level? Save current wrap %?

    I also saw that SPiN is on sale

    how long is that on sale for Frand?

    No, we save all progress. If you get a phone call, press the home button or you exit the level without finishing it, the game allows you to continue exactly where you left it.

    In fact, we save all progress for all levels... you can have multiple unfinished levels if you wish, just exit the level and pick another one.

    Hmm. It might be a good idea to just apply it to ALL LEVELS even the one with accomplishments.

    Or at least have the option on settings to do this. :confused:

    yay thanks!

    I understand it might distract the whole zen factor that's why I suggested make it an OPTION instead of a forced feature :p

    TO ALL THE LURKERS!!! GRAB IT!!!! NOW!!!!

    Ok, I'll be honest. I thought the hype for this game was ridiculous....I mean...wrapping rope around a wooden figure? How much fun could that be. After fighting the urge to know what the heck everyone loved so much, I bought Zen Bound. It is fantastic. Totally different type of puzzle game and it is truly relaxing. It is kind of hard to explain, but I love it. Moved onto my FP.

    Anyone on the fence? PM or just buy it! :D

    By the way, I hope they add even more levels in the future!

    Frand, I just received the Secret Exit newsletter.

    Very funny! Quoting the 1-star review and then following up with links to the awards and positive reviews.
    It must be the real newsletter because it has the authentic seal of authenticity.

    Is the newsletter on your site so that other people can look at it as well? I think everybody should be able to take a look at it. :)
