Bought the game from OVI Store. Lovely game, highly reccomended.

Price is Ok.

Just a tip; I reccomand you download the game from your PC and then install it from filemanager on the N900 after you copy the file to the mobile. :D

Installing directly from the n900 broswer might give some problems of memory.

It does seem a bit expensive for a game that "just" (we all know that's not a simple just :D) had to be ported and seems to be by far less expensive on other platforms.

BUT once you look at it from an independent viewpoint, it's a nice price-value ratio. As far as I know, after the Bounce demo this is the first full 3D game for Maemo, with top notch graphics, wonderful music and a rather unique gameplay. If it was made for the DS family, it would cost $15, and that would be without the gyrokinetic features... ;)

Still waiting for the OVI store to be a bit more stable (had quite a lot of problems with downloading free applications, so I don't want to risk spending money right now), but once it is Zen Bound will be on top of my wishlist.

Wish there actually was more public interest in games like Bounce and Zen Bound (simple, beautiful, soothing), and less interest in the 306th fart application... ;)

I bought it and it worked but memory use interfered with installing other programs. I just bought it to support the programmers anyway -- I'm not a fan of most games. So I deleted it. Looked good, though.

Zen Bound : Bondage with statues.

The only thing that's got me riled up is the ending of a stage. Most of the time it's irritating when the stage ends due to the rope being tangled with the ending pin while I was trying to chase after the 99% coverage.

Ok, I followed your suggestions, but I spent one hour to understand how to download from Ovi store to pc. Fortunately I found a good tutorial on youtube about User agent switcher.
I gave a look to the game. I it is really beautiful and well done. Good music and good 3d. The price is correct.
Better to pay more for quality than pay less for s*h*i*t. :D

I think most people could use 5 to 10 good games on their Phones. I have 2 very good ones. Zen Bound and Angry Birds. If you churn out games with the level of Zen Bound, I will promote them to high heavens, and will gladly pay a premium vis a vis other patforms, considering our market size.

Thank you for an awesome game.

I have been giving it more of a chance and although I believe the game to be a little pricey I am now a converted fan. It's not bad.

The only issue I have is when I try and end in the middle of a game or restart it often just goes back to the game without doing anything!
