storylines. And then there are the few that manage to
leave a deep impression by scoring on all these parameters.
Monument Valley is one of these gems. Available exclusively
for iOS at the time of writing (we hear that there is an Android
version in the works), the game is a mix of adventure and
puzzles and comes with delightful graphics that capture the
mystery and magic of the game without ever threatening to
submerge it in a riot of colour. Your task is to control a princess
who wanders through various buildings and pathways, trying
to discover a message. Moving her is as simple as tapping on a
route, but the real challenge comes in ensuring that the route is
an unencumbered one. You have to move levers, slide tiles and
do a lot more to help the princess get to her destination at each
level. And the puzzles keep getting more difficult as you progress, with different obstacles popping up in your way as well
(not the least of whom are crows who caw the moment they
see you). The music is hypnotic, the graphics and gameplay
innovative. Throw in a good storyline and you can see why we
think Monument Valley could go down as one of the truly great
mobile games.
