I need a Windows 8 version of this like yesterday! Preferably with touch controls.

So, big spoiler if you haven't played it yet, but

Conversely, who was

a little bit happy when he resurfaced later on?

I did

 

[Twinduct]

Ah man this is looking good! Looking forward to the Android release. Honestly Mobile games needs more of this & Hitman Go!

 

[Shaneus]

I did

We should demand a spinoff

We should demand a spinoff

I demand more MV levels prior to a spinoff. ...then a spinoff!

 

[polg]

Hopefully this hits PC soon. Got rid of my iPad late last year, first time I've wished I'd had it for a game since then.

I agree with more_badass... The touch controls make it feel a lot more intimate and personal.

Agreed. It actually feels more like a pop-up book than anything else (including a "video" or computer game). For that, I applaud it.

Looks like my wish for a Vita version may be a possibility:

"We're looking at getting it on the PS Vita, and a lot of people ask about a PC version, but we're portrait and touchscreen, so it's not easy. We could do it, but it would be a bit crap,"

Monument Valley devs making new levels, considering Vita port


Fingers crossed!

 

[Shaneus]

Monument Valley using the rear touchscreen could be one heck of a trip. But I agree about portrait, though. Landscape would detract from that booky feel I mentioned earlier (not to mention the construction of the levels).

Perhaps a dedicated version with completely different levels would be more suited to Vita (and maybe PC).

 

[ruie]

really enjoyable little game. they sure could expand this, now. there are lots of ideas that could be reused together, but all the levels were beautifully done.

 

[vpance]

Nice little game, but it's damn short. And the 'bing' sound on every move feels out of place. If I could only go with one or the other Hitman Go kills this.

It doesn't feel out of place IMO. It's like winding the music box.

The Vita version could easily be portrait (see Star Soldier on PSP).

 

[Shaneus]

Not with the level of detail needed, I don't think. The art seemed more suited to work on a 4:3 screen than a 16:9 (or close) one.

I love this game. I've been playing it on my Nexus 7 tablet and really enjoy relaxing with it.

How are you playing this on the Nexus 7? It isn't out on Android yet...

Was just about to buy it, now I'll wait. Hope the Vita version happens.

 

[Theecliff]

Bought the game about an hour ago. I don't play iOS games much but am enjoying this quite a lot!

I've put my iPhone down for a bit now but I had got up to chapter 8. I couldn't quite figure out how the level worked but I'll give another swing at it later. I'm seeing it mentioned in here a few times so it's probably a pretty smart level.

Also, here are some screens:

This game has stunning art design.

Beta tester?

Beta tester?

If any more beta testers are needed, I'd like to sign up please.

 

[gingerbeardman]

Best to ask @ustwogames on twitter

Woohoo. Getting this now. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Bomber Bob]

Man this game is beautiful!

 

[ThatGuyAgain]

Played it last night. Big thumbs up!

I can't wait for more chapters.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Excellent. The beta ran fantastically well so it is no surprise to see it hit the store so soon.

Really enjoyed this short little experience.

 

[axisofweevils]

This game is amazing. In fact, it is the first ever mobile game I've found compelling enough to spend more than 10 miniutes on. I played it until completion.

 

[medze]

Just finished this game and I'm in love. The game was short but every minute of it was great. The art direction is so clean and minimalist and I love the use of impossible geometry. Really great concept and fun game.

 

[Vire]

Right on, updated title since it's now out on Android.

Thanks!

 

[jamsy]

Finished this earlier and it was the definition of short and sweet.

Really beautiful game. One of the best mobile games I've played yet.

 

[Canis lupus]

Got it for Xperia Z yesterday, what a gorgeous art style and the only mobile game I recognize being good. This is what mobile gaming should be. Going to the suggestions on the Play store to see what else is there brings the usual crap why I avoid gaming on the platform. Finished it in 2 hours in 1 sitting which is a record, it's the only mobile game I could sit and play for more than 5 minutes. But the puzzles, they weren't really challenging, and I wish it had twice as many puzzles.

Happy to hear a Vita port is being considered, will buy again.

I think some people need to alter their perspective slightly from viewing this as a puzzle game to get the most out of it. I thought of it as more of a pop-up book than puzzle and got much more enjoyment out of it. Never expected too much of a challenge and was never let down as a consequence

 

[More_Badass]

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

Yay!

 

[Vire]

Awesome! Hope it comes relatively soon.

 

[Dion Blaster]

Just beat this and I loved it. I think they could really expand this concept as well. Some later levels had legitimate brain teasers and would love to see secrets and such things added. But yeah it felt like a pop-up book as much as a game.

 

[GeoGonzo]

Agh, I had this game on my wishlist for months due to the artstyle but I missed this thread so I didn't actually buy it till a non-gamer friend showed it to me. The shaaaame!

Anyway, couldn't say anything that hasn't been said in this thread before, I thought it was fantastic.

Also, how freaking RARE it is for games to save their best levels for last (like MV does), instead of padding their lenght with variations of the same puzzles that often only manage to bore the player by exposing the simplicity of a game. MV is exactly as long and deep as I'd want an iOS game to be

Spoiler

but I'll probably buy the new levels anyway

.

 

[FerranMG]

BTW, they just announced 1 million copies sold.

WHAT?? A million people buy this and this thread only gets to four pages?

Certainly congratulations are in order. It's an excellent game and has single handedly changed my opinion of smart phone games.

I can't wait for the sequel or new levels.

 

[Milabrega]

One million and more levels on the way, very nicely done.

 

[gingerbeardman]

It shows how little overlap there is between us traditional gamers and the casual smartphone gamers.

Congrats ustwo!

 

[dubc35]

Looking forward to new levels!

 

[kudoboi]

bought it today and i am loving it so far. i'm in love with how the sounds work and the amazing level designs

 

[SmokyDave]

Really pleased to hear this has done well, it's a great little game.

Congrats ustwo!

I think it's more that most smartphone gamers don't bother to leave the iOS thread.

 

[dubc35]

Update had me excited for levels but none in it.

This thread bump had me excited for levels but there are none in it

I didn't know there was an update. Nothing big, I assume?

Yeah. I don't remember the exact wording but fixed some crash or screen issues and added a link from the info screen to buy prints/merch from their website.

[edit] It also said sorry no new levels yet but they are working on them

 

[Wensih]

It's a great game. One of my favorites released this year. I played it in June.

 

[Jotamide]

On sale on Android for $2!

Coming as an IAP level pack later this year
