Bah. Yes, bah.

Zen Bound is one of those iPhone games everybody talks about and which is meant to be amazing. So I downloaded the Lite version, because it’s quite expensive in iPod terms. (Which means really, really, really cheap in real terms. The App Store pricing is insane and, even though it means I’ve got lots of games for nearly no money, I can’t see it being a good thing in the long run.)

The goal is to wrap up and object in a piece of string. I think you tilt your iPhone to move the string around. The controls are so natural in a “they just work” kind of way that I honestly can’t remember the control system.


It’s wonderful in every way, really… as far as I can tell. You see, unless I’m missing something, the Lite version gives you a measly two puzzles to play, neither of which will take very long at all. That’s just not enough, hence the bah. Still, when I’ve got a decent amount of credit in my account, the full game will be hard to resist.
