This summer, there was this friend of mine at the camping – Marco – who regularly came asking for my iPhone 4 to play one game: Zen Bound 2. He had become addicted to it since I first showed the app to him, and he turned out to be so good at covering creepy wood shapes with paint that I had to make him stop. Seriously, I uninstalled the app.
For those who of you unaware of the total awesomeness of Zen Bound 2, here’s the gist: in this game you have to wrap a rope around wood objects, the rope covers them with paint, you have to cover objects with a certain percentage of paint to complete a level. Absurd, simple. A must-have available at $2.99 for iPhone and iPad with Game Center support and Retina graphics.
As TUAW reports, Zen Bound 2 has been ported to the Mac with bigger graphics and trackpad-ready controls and it’s been sold via Valve’s Steam platform. The game is published under the SteamPlay label, which means you’ll be able to buy it once and enjoy it both on a Mac and a PC.
The game is available at $4.99, and I totally recommend it. But I won’t tell my friend Marco about it.
