Evaluation

Zen Bound 2 launched on November 16, 2010 as a complete, self-contained puzzle game with over 100 levels and a full soundtrack. The store description presents it as a finished product with no mention of planned updates, additional content, or ongoing development. The developer's only post-launch activity on record is a technical maintenance update on February 10, 2016 that added Retina display support for macOS — a compatibility patch with no new content. There have been no developer communications of any kind since February 10, 2016, no DLC has ever been listed, and no future content has ever been announced. This game launched as a complete package and has remained one ever since.

About this game

Wrap your way to bliss in Zen Bound 2, the unique down-tempo indie game! This is a different gaming experience: an opportunity to slow down, zone out and focus on a task that’s challenging but not stressful, a set of gentle puzzles for the mind and fingers to solve.

The goal of the game is to paint wooden sculptures by wrapping them in rope - a task that may sound simple but has surprising complexity. Each of the levels presents a spatial puzzle that becomes obvious through inspection. Some levels feature paint bombs that are helpful in covering complex areas of the object.

Zen Bound 2 is a calm and meditative gameplay experience, with tactile, dusty visuals and a sublime, enveloping soundtrack by the sensational electronic artist ‘Ghost Monkey’.

Key features:

  • Multi-touch controls for object manipulation on Macs with multi-touch trackpads
  • Over 100 levels
  • Multiple gameplay modes with paint bombs
  • 45-minute soundtrack from ‘Ghost Monkey’
  • Beautiful high definition visuals
