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 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.
