i've completed 75/75 in tree of reflection but only 76/78 for tree of challenge. Anyone got 99% for Obfuskation I or Konkave V? I dont see how u can get the inside part of Obfuskation I without crossing or blocking other paths. I've tried many times
I have 2 flowers on deception. What I did was wrap the rope along the outer edge on the wood, then come back covering it like a slinky. I was just a little off from 99%. (94%ish)
spmwinkel completed the Tree of Challenge; the post containing the screenshot is here. Tranquility is tough, but it is certainly possible. Just try not to double the rope anywhere; and make sure everywhere you place the rope it is getting the maximum possible amount of paint on the whale. The snakes are difficult to describe; the technique I've used to get 100% on both is tilting the snake on its "side," so the head is on the right and the tail on the left side of the screen (or vice versa). This allows for the most room to maneuver the rope. The rope should be wrapped around the snake/s like a corkscrew. If I get time later I'll try to post screenshots of Tranquility and the snake levels to help folks out who are having trouble. The best advice, however, is just to keep at it and be very slow-going.
i've tried that too, maybe i use too much rope on the way back please do, it'll be appreciated but won't it be kind of touch posting screenshots? i don't think a picture of a complete wrapping will be much help, and posting many shots of your progress will be a pain
Here's the screenshot of Snake-Deception. I just redid it rather 'quickly' (and by that I mean I don't mind wasting the rope).
donkei's strategy is, as far as I know, the only one that will work to get the 99% mark on Deception. Mine looks almost exactly the same. I've also posted a screen of Tranquility. If you folks need in-progress shots I can do that, too. Again, with the snakes and Tranquility being methodical is the key to completing them; jumping from area to area wastes too much rope. Also, don't forget to abuse the rope's "slipperiness." You can be a bit sloppy and still have the wrapping look perfect if you are able to correctly maneuver the rope as it peels off of the object. I'll attempt Balance again tonight after work. That is a tough one.
Two questions about Tranquility. When you first start do you wrap short ways around the whale? At which point do you do the flippers? Thanks, your screen shots are very helpful. You are truly a Zen Bound Master.
Hey my tranquility looks similar too, but just like in deception's case, yours is way neater than mine
Thanks. Here are three screenshots showing how I start Tranquility and handle the flippers. I start by just wrapping around the mouth like I would the body of the whale; because the shape is awkward, this should be done fairly quickly so the rope sticks. There might be other ways to deal with the mouth, but that's the way I've always done it. For the flippers, I just transition from wrapping around the body to around the flippers, as you can see. When I reach the tips of the flippers, I just redirect the rope back over the body, hopefully over a part that would otherwise be hard to paint without doubling a large portion of rope.
Obfuskation is a bit hard, I'm redoing it now. I remember I wrapped up 75% with only 30m of rope, then the rope got stuck in the object and it can't be pulled out. I know the rope is sticky, but it's totally different. Frand said it's a known problem that has yet to be fixed (hopefully in the coming update?). I was so pissed everytime that bug occured because usually it happened when I tried to be very tight and careful with the rope. I never came back to Obfuskation I until now. Hopefully it won't get stuck again this time.
I could go through 52 pages of posts, or I could ask this here and now: Does this game play in landscape mode as well? If so, is there an option to toggle landscape orientation (screen flip)? I ask because I went back to playing SPiN, and had completely forgotten that that game had no screen flip option. On my iTouch the headphone jack ends up on the bottom left hand side. Not comfortable. And although there is an option to toggle the game from landscape to portrait mode, there's no option to flip the orientation of landscape mode (so I could flip it "upside down" and therefore play with the headphone jack on the top right hand side). So...does this one have screen flip (if it's in landscape as well)?
The game is all portrait. If you wanted to you could rotate your device any way you wanted while you played but the interface is designed for standard portrait orientation.
The game is set up for up and down use (? not sure what that is called but opposite of landscape ) though the way it's set up you can have the phone in any direction to see what you do.
Sorry for being late with Balance, but I had some things come up last night. Basically, my strategy is pretty simple: start immediately wrapping the rope around the snake รก la Deception; in order to do this, the rope needs to be maneuvered around both snakes. The first screenshot is an example of the rope being maneuvered through the snakes. The rope will continue going to the right until it is out of the coil, then back into the coil to get it back to where I can direct the wrapping. Using the "slipperiness" of the rope is a must, and once you get the rope maneuvered around, you should drag the rope around to get maximum coverage. The second screenshot shows this in progress. When you get towards the end of the first snake (the tail), you should have covered it completely, or almost completely. Then simply move the rope over to the other snake's tail and continue the methodical wrapping, and be careful at the end to leave some space to get the rope on the final nail. The third screenshot shows this transition; I didn't cover the first snake completely, but you get the idea. I still think this is the best game currently available on the App Store, and I can't wait for the new updates!
Anyone know about a price drop anytime soon to $3.99 or so? I'm tight on money right now and can't afford spending money, but the reviews for Zen Bound have been godly.
No but it plays just as well on landscape. ps: spiffyone you should get this, it's a must have! a platform-defining game
I dunno. I've been holding off this one. I played it for a while but did not like it.......................................my type of app is game wise. This is just too zen for me. I dunno...........anyone who had my opinion buy it and changed their mind?
Everyone go look at what danny said on frands profile!! Before it's gone Yes danny. It's five dollars. Go buy it. It's great. And no I'm not making a donation......
