I think it's because it's unique and in an app store that's becoming flooded with games that are very similar, such as all the different types of racing game, it's great to see a game with the level of polish that Zen Bound has. And when/if you play it, you'll see that the controls would never work as well on any other current platform. So it's great to see this level of originality on a platform that has, at times, seemed to be dominated by apps that offer little polish and give the impression that all the developer wants is to make a quick buck/59p.
I actually bought this purely based on the reviews here. I gave in to the hype, downloading now. I sure hope it doesn't disappoint! hehe
Just one, difficult flower left on the Tree of Reflection... I have a creeping suspicion that something will bloom out of the trunk if I collect all the flowers. It's just that dang Balance!! I'm absolutely in love with the abstract figures on the Tree of Challenge. Great times. Congrats on the beautiful game, Secret Exit! I like the soundtrack, too. A great idea.
Awesome! Definitely gotta find a way to get this. It's one of the few I'd be willing to jump through Canada's stupid eCommerce hoops for. Anyone wanna send me a US iTunes card?
Zen Bound Firstly my apologies to Chillingo due to my suspicions of the seemingly phantom release date and wondering if this was just hype building.... I was just a frustrated consumer waiting to purchase this. Downloaded it without hesitation this morning, played a couple of levels and I love it. Many, many thanks to Chillingo and equally as important the Secret Exit Dev team for a superb title.
Awesome game! Definitely lives up to all the hype! I actually enjoyed the relaxing pace of this game. At the moment where I first managed to bind something up to 99%, I knew I was addicted.
good idea...... I would call it "widdle/wrap" (mode): custom puzzles fassion your own wood pieces and wrap them and share online.
I downloaded the game this morning, but won't have a chance to play until later this evening. So I'll comment on the only thing I can... the icon is awesome. I love how it looks like a little 3-D piece of wood. Subtle and very nicely done
Sway Likewise ! Both Zen Bound and Sway are interstellar titles -- a must for anyone with an iphone/ipod touch. People -- please don't forget to support them by giving app store reviews on iTunes. Thank you.
Is there any reward for completing a sculpture for 100%? So far I couldn't get 100% because every time I exceed the minimum passing percentage I accidentally touch the end nail, hence ending the game. Hopefully there will be a button that the player can press when he/she feels like completing it.
Eh, I don't get this game. I didn't get Nurikabe either at first and now I love it, so I'm not giving up hope. But I played it all of one minute before moving on to other games.
incentive??? you get all 3 flowers in full bloom. idk. maybe it's an OCD thing but i want all the flowers in full bloom agree regarding hitting the nail. they should change it to wrap around the nail to finish.
We tried that at first, and the result was that everyone who picked up the game had no idea how to complete a level. It was simply not intuitive. As a tip, try painting the area around the nail first, before hitting 70%, then painting the rest of the object.
Is it just me or is tranquility a very hard statue to get the last bloom with... oh well, i'll just keep on trying Once again Frand, well done!!! not only is it an incredible game, but it's getting the press coverage it deserves, which should happily bring it to the attention of a wide audience, ultimately, padding out your pocket quite well and hopefully leading to more great games from you guys. I can not wait!!! oh........ what was that announcement you'd make after Zen Bounds release ?!
Wow ! Just downloaded and played the first three "branches" I'm almost concerned about playing it too much for fear of beating this game! Controls, Graphics, Sound and Concept is unreal, feels like my brain is smiling when i play this! Eye and Brain Candy ! This definitely raised the bar for apps in the app store! Going to be top paid app in to time.
