Zero Age knows that players have already seen plenty of artsy acclaimed indie puzzle games. It even references what has come before, like Fez, Journey, Portal, and most obviously, Monument Valley. However, with these influences, it still offers a bold, beautiful, and brilliant new vision that any serious iPad gaming fan should check out.
Fortunately Zero Age offers some of the most creative and complex 3D puzzles around. Players must get their character to the end of each level. Sometimes that’s as simple as just tapping on the goal, but usually they will have to create a path by manipulating a handful of blocks. Different blocks have markings specifying their rules - some blocks can only move on a horizontal plane, while others are limited to the vertical. However, players can stack cubes on top of each other to move certain blocks in ways they couldn’t before or shield themselves from deadly lasers. Constructing even something as basic as some stairs requires intense levels of spatial thinking.
What really matters is that Zero Age is sweet eye candy and nourishing brain food all at once. Zero? Please. It’s the total package.
