Play: iPhone Application

Published: March 10, 2009

For the last couple months, many iPhone users have been anticipating application developer Chillingo’s “Zen Bound,” and it’s finally on Apple’s App Store for only $4.99.

This app’s idea is simple: wrap a limited amount of rope around various wooden objects. On each level, you’re attempting to cover the block 100 percent with rope, which at times, is quite difficult on some of the levels. This game may sound like a completely
useless way to spend your money,
but the game offers so much. It’s not a game of high scores and record breaking, it’s a “calm and meditative” puzzle game, as the developer says, that makes great use of the iPhone’s touch screen abilities and accelerometer. “Zen Bound” was greatly hyped in the iPhone community
and didn’t disappoint. The replay value is high, and is worth every penny.
