I didSo, big spoiler if you haven't played it yet, butwho got a little choked up when Totem tried to follow the girl out to sea?Conversely, who was
a little bit happy when he resurfaced later on?
We should demand a spinoffI did

I demand more MV levels prior to a spinoff.
...then a spinoff!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:
Fingers crossed!
Monument Valley devs making new levels, considering Vita port
Fingers crossed!
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).

Insane For Sony
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).

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.
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.

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.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
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.

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

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.
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

but I'll probably buy the new levels anyway

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.

It shows how little overlap there is between us traditional gamers and the casual smartphone gamers.
Congrats ustwo!
Really pleased to hear this has done well, it's a great little game.
I think it's more that most smartphone gamers don't bother to leave the iOS thread.

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
