Report an issuePlease note: Zen Bound 2 Universal contains all the levels of Zen Bound 1 and more (with new gameplay modes), supports gyro and Retina Displays, includes Game Center support and Achievements, has greatly improved graphics, a 45-minute soundtrack and works beautifully on all devices!
Zen 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 some of the most beautiful graphics 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: - Beautiful graphics, 3D models almost feel tangible in your hand - Intuitive and natural multi-touch controls (tilt supported) - 76 levels - A captivating 22-minute downtempo soundtrack from 'Ghost Monkey'

8 of 25Calming! It twists your brain! Love it!
Even with the music and sound fx turned off I still can't play audio from other apps while zen bound is open. Next update: true silent mode, don't sound block my other apps!
Fun puzzle game!
good
great idea and interesing game
Update? D:
This game is nice, but $2.99 for no retina display, no gyro support, no universal binary, no GameCenter rank or achievements. I know you want us to buy Zen Bound 2, but this is not the way to do it! I would expect at least retina display and gyro support.
No retina display.. I got it for free though :)
