Akin to painting, sculpture, or photography, sometimes a product is so incredibly well designed that you can’t help but stare at it for hours. Monument Valley from ustwo studio is just such a product. A puzzle game available to download on the App Store, Google Play, and Kindle Fire, is so beautiful that it's won an Apple Design Award - and my eternal worship.
The game is a series of glorious isometric puzzles, taking the form of castles, caves, and inexplicable shapes. Your task is to guide a small character (princess Ida) through each level, by twisting and turning certain moveable elements and then pointing where you’d like the character to walk.
There’s no death, no guns, or angry birds (or is there?) - nothing that computer games are generally associated with - just stunning pictures that you can spend hours walking through again and again.
Check out more screenshots in this short piece on the designers behind the game. For those guys who have Monument Valley already, there are some new levels out this week!- Nik
