Something off?
Report an issueZen Bound™ is a calm and meditative puzzle game about wrapping wooden sculptures with rope. A game in which a high score is not the goal - instead it is something to focus on and enjoy at your own relaxed pace.
It is a tactile experience: a game of wood, stone and rope with the most beautiful graphics yet seen on the iPhone. The visuals complement the controls to provide interaction that feels natural and comfortable.
A major element of the game is the unique, dusty and soothing down-tempo soundtrack designed and composed by 'Ghost Monkey'. It features binaural processing that creates an enveloping soundscape when headphones are used.
Zen Bound™ is different - an alternative and subtle gaming experience that is difficult to describe. But in its own small way, it defines what gaming on the iPhone can be.
FEATURES: - The most beautiful graphics yet seen on the iPhone - 3D models that almost feel 'tangible' in your hand. - Intuitive and natural multi-touch controls (tilt supported) - 76 levels included (Tree of Reflection, Tree of Challenge, Tree of Nostalgia) - A captivating 22-minute downtempo soundtrack from 'Ghost Monkey' - Game soundtrack 'Bound' available as a free download to all customers in uncompromising 320kbit MP3 quality - Touch the 'Secret Exit' button in the main menu to download the free soundtrack.

8 of 25It's not just one of the best games, but one of the best native apps ever made for iOS. Smooth, polished, and a lot of fun - games like this are why Apples mobile devices are successful.
Wonderful Visceral Feel: String reacts perfectly, Physics are right on Aesthetically Masterful: Interesting wooden objects, paint colors and backgrounds all sync, meditative music is nigh perfect Three Unique Level Trees: wrap up Animals, Geometric Shapes, and Familiar Old-Fashioned Objects Smooth and Challenging Progression: Easy to play, yet very challenging to beat any given tree all the way through Intuitive Controls: can freely rotate objects with one or two fingers, direct string by IP tilt Great Replay Value: hours and hours of play, ample reasons to re-play any object Screen is Limited at times: Some longer objects tend to leave the screen, at times when you're trying to wrap that part
It's kind of boring. And repetitive
I rushed and beat both levels in 1 day. Getting perfect on both took me a solid week. I loved the fact that the slower you go the better. Poor review people need more action I guess? I do also but this game gave me something to do when going to bed or just chilling. Hopefully they release another level, maybe more animals or insects? Spiders, butterflies, etc. Thanks for the great game, truly unique!
really fun puzzle, amazing audio. super relaxing, challenging. amazing graphics, love it! so worth the 2.99!
Give it a try!
Одна из лучших однозначно, почти шедевр
I will update with a full review and 5 stars when ios4 & multitasking comparability is added.
