I am currently captivated by Zen Bound, a calm, meditative iPhone app/game in which you advance by attempting to completely wrap complexly shaped objects made of stone or wood with a single piece of rope. It combines lovely 3D graphics and clever use of touchscreen technology with a serene, ambient/glitch binaural soundtrack and organic sound effects by Ghost Monkey for the win. Particularly enjoyed via headphones.
Why is wrapping wooden objects with rope so addicting? I dunno, it just is.
Zen Bound is currently available for Free Download in the iTunes app store to celebrate the November 16th release of Zen Bound 2, the multi-platform sequel on Steam. You also get a Free Download of "Bound", the in-game music soundtrack as well as "Rebound", a stereo album incorporating music from Zen Bound and Zen Bound 2 when you sign up for the email newsletter via the Zen Bound Official Site.
