    Well you guys deserve all the praise and acclaim that you have received. Your game is not only the most original Iphone title, but one of the most innovative games period. I could definitely put this up with flower, or passage, as a work of art. Amazing effort, especially on such a volitile platform. Again kudos Frand and secret exit, for a job extremely well done!!:)

    How did I know this would happen? xD
    According to results from SPiN, the price may dip down to $0.99, but I'm not gonna risk it xD, time to jump on it!

    You better, SPiN had a lot less success than Zen Bound. Secret Exit really didn't want to drop the price to $0.99 but they had to, as a last resort in order to increase sales.

    $2.99 seems like a really attractive sale point to me, they shouldn't lower the price any more if you'd ask me. Keep the sales rare and a few bucks away from the $0.99 point, otherwise people won't buy the game at $4.99 anymore.
    (At least, those who visit appshopper.com)

    There's a lite version to try. :) The lite version might leave the impression that the game is too easy though, but you get a taste of what the game is about.

    Not at this time. It doesn't really make a difference if it sells one copy a day at $5 or five copies at $1 :)

    Isn't there a between 1 copy at $4.99 and 5 copies at $4.95 (0.99 x 5 = 4.95)? or does apple not count that?

    That's an amazing amount of value added to the game with that bunch of new levels in the new update. :) Two thumbs up to Secret Exit.

    Physicist. No, not really, but maybe one day, i'm
    England. It's a sucky place.
    Love the update (okay, so i've only done two so far on the new tree (3 flowers each, i might add - though that's not actually anything to brag about)), and don't you dare ever think about lowering the price to $0.99 - £1.79 is already rather cheap for such a great game - i'm happy with having paid £2.99 and feel it was worth every penny.

    I LOVE THE NEW COLORS!! They add so much to the game. By the time I had finished the old levels I was tired of the standard few colors. These new colors are so bright and crisp it really adds a lot to the game.

    Great update. I've played (and finished) the first 4 objects and everything works smooth. (No issues with paint not being spread properly or anything like that)

    I'm in love with the UFO. What a joy to zone out and wrap that thing up.

    I like the new colors, too. The first time I played the castle I almost did a double-take at the brightness of the red.

    Zen Bound 1.2.2 submitted

    We've passed a new version of Zen Bound over to Apple for approval.
    Here are the changes:

    - Minor rendering artifacts fixed
    - A minor framerate issue on 3.0 firmware fixed
    - Save game properly reset if level restarted

    In other words, nothing major, but this version should be fully iPhone OS 3.0 compatible.
