How to create something new? concept or graphics? which is the more important feature in an iPhone game?

People from Secret Exit anwsers this questions with its new game for the iPhone: ZenBound. Game bases seems to be simple but addictive. Zen Bound is a calm and meditative game of wrapping rope around wooden sculptures – a simple task that can become surprisingly complex.

The game uses photographed materials and sampled rope sounds as well as an original musical score. The concept is an original one by Mikko ‘Memon’ Mononen, previously in lead engineer position for Crysis.

Zen Bound features an incredible Down-tempo original musical and sound effects by Ghost Monkey.

“It is something to be enjoyed at a slow pace: a game where a high score is not the goal. Zen Bound is designed to challenge in a subtle way, it does not attack or force the player. There is also an element of self-reflection, for each of the sculptures is a representation of a state of mind or a human emotion”.

In my opinion this kind of games fits perfectly in this platform: simple controls, beautiful graphics and a great idea that makes you to hold your iphone during hours.

Zen Bound will be available for Phone and iPod touch this fall, other multiple platforms, including game consoles, PC and Mac, soon.
