You're just trying to cover enough of their surface, really - the paint is a handy visualisation. The goal is to paint them by wrapping them in string which spreads paint to parts it touches. Zen Bound 2's wooden models are things animals, geometric shapes, and posing people. It's a slow, methodical puzzle game about wrapping small wooden objects in string, studying their form, picking an efficient approach, carefully binding it, looping around nails, and finishing off with a small knot. There is an app called Kyumi Puzzle which is also quite relaxing.You may very well own Zen Bound 2, as it's been in two Humble Bundles, but have you played it? Next time you fancy a calming game, perhaps give it a whirl. September 30th, 2009 at 10:33 I like your game! Very relaxing, and the dynamic music is really nicely done. You can download Block Drop Lite for free. It has beautiful graphics and quiet, peaceful music. i like puzzle games □ very good □Īnother very relaxing puzzle game for the iPhone is Block Drop. They promised, that there’d be more even more things in several weeks. I’ve sent a message to authors with some thoughts about it. I’m always looking for apps to entertain the toddler too. May 12th, 2009 at 9:52 That does sound fun, I might give it a go. But if it’s kind of normal (paper, not polished wood) or you’ve trained a little - it is rather accurate.īut it’s fun isn’t it? I’ve a kid, he measured every thing in the house just to get that little man walk, run, slide… If the surface is slick - accuracy may be bad. Then I look in the internet and find out that it is precisely 11.1 inches.īut another time I’ve got an inch error on 10 inches measurement. Authors tell us about less than 5% inaccuracy. May 11th, 2009 at 11:55 Appl-o-Meter looks interesting – is it accurate? There’s so many interesting things in App Store… I simply don’t have so much time to look through them all. My own last-and-most impressive app was Appl-o-Meter. Definitely feels like the next generation of iphone games.ītw there’s a free lite demo of it now in case anyone is still unsure… You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.īoth comments and pings are currently closed.ġ1 Responses to “Zen Bound review: A relaxing iPhone puzzle game” On Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 at 3:05 pm and is filed under iPhone. Personally I still find myself enjoying the odd game a few weeks after first playing it, so I’m getting my money’s worth. If not then you’ll probably tire of the game pretty quickly once the novelty value has worn off. If you like the genre then you’ll love Zen Bound. While it is beautifully executed, at the end of the day Zen Bound is a simple, meditative puzzle game. The game is beautiful to look at and the soundtrack – available as an MP3 download to purchasers of the game – is polished and suitably laid back. What’s more, tilting the phone in the “tree” views actually tilts the lanterns and blocks hanging from the tree, which really adds to the realism: For example, you can use touch gestures to rotate the object easily in all directions, and control the angle of the rope by tilting the phone. Having said that, it does make really nice use of the iPhone’s touch screen and tilt controls to provide a very realistic experience. Each tree has plenty of puzzles to keep you busy (I haven’t made it to the top of either tree yet), and the fact that you need to score well on early levels in order to move onto higher levels adds an element of challenge to the game.Īlthough touted by some as an original concept, it’s actually derived from the free PC game Zen Bondage (ooo-er). There are two trees: the Tree of Reflection (mainly animal shapes) and the Tree of Challenge (geometric shapes). You need a certain number of open flowers to move up to the next level of the tree. The number of dots you get determines how many flowers will open on the tree you’re currently moving up. When enough of the shape is painted you get a dot paint even more and you get two paint 99% of the shape and you get the full complement of three dots: The rope “paints” the shape where it touches it. The basic idea of the game is simple: You wrap various 3D wooden and metal shapes in a rope of limited length. I recently bought the game Zen Bound for my iPhone, which has been the subject of much gushing praise amongst various review sites recently, and has been collecting a few awards too.
