More information later, but for those so inclined, a number of screenshots have been up on http://zenbound.com for some time. We believe ZB2 is going to be one of the most beautiful iPad games.

I bought it, played some, and didn't quite get the "zen" appeal. To me it was just, ummm, dull. pluto6 Well-Known Member Jun 21, 2009 5,837 3 38 Military #15 pluto6, Mar 28, 2010 I only play this game off and on, but it definitely is a puzzle type game. Yesterday, I was playing, and got 100% except had not been keeping an eye on the final nail to connect to, and had no way to get to it, due to having prior windings being in the way. You have to really plan in advance in order to do well. On later puzzles even reaching minimum goals have you planning windings well in advance. Like any really good puzzler - it is easy to manipulate, and seems pointless (due to being simple), but to really do well becomes quite challenging. I have hundreds of (real) mechanical puzzles, and people look at them and think "huh, that looks stupid, or simple, or...." However, when I tell them to just try it, 15 - 20 minutes later they are getting totally frustrated, and saying "it looks so easy, why am I having this problem" and it is all about not understanding the basic principles of manipulation. To me, Zen Bound is much like this. Also, I love the art and music... Frand Well-Known Member Oct 6, 2008 1,042 0 36 http://www.secretexit.com #16 Frand, Mar 29, 2010 Certainly, if those couple of dozen are willing to appreciate ZB2 for the high art that it is, and pay the reasonable asking price of ten thousand dollars each. Drucifer Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2010 1,568 1 38 Canada #17 Drucifer, Mar 29, 2010 Wait, so no Zen Bound 2 on iPhone/iPod Touch? That stinks. markx2 Well-Known Member Dec 28, 2008 685 0 16 #18 markx2, Mar 29, 2010 Well you need to treat those people well. PM me for my address and the 2 ipads (with game copies) you send me will be thoroughly tested by myself and my family. No bug will escape us, no flaw undiscovered and with facebook, myspace, twitter and blogs covered will spread the word Frand Well-Known Member Oct 6, 2008 1,042 0 36 http://www.secretexit.com #19 Frand, Mar 29, 2010 ZB2 for iPad has been our sole focus for quite some time now. Once the blitz of iPad launch has passed and we have had time to breath for a bit, we'll start thinking about the work involved with other versions. PoV Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2008 349 2 0 London, Ontario, Canada #20 PoV, Mar 29, 2010 Yee haw gentlemen! I'll be crossing the US border on the 3rd and be grabbing this, my game, a few others on Denny's WIFI. Very excited. Congratz guys!
