I totally agree with Monument Valley. One of the most beautiful and unique games I've played in a long time, it's also a great example that you don't need to push a lot of pixels if you have good artists.
It's also super beautiful, not just black and white (not that that isn't beautiful as well!)
Would you compare the quantity of food received at a fast food joint vs fine dining?
Look, you can’t expect a game like that that’s sold for a couple bucks to last more than a few dozen minutes. People who make games have to eat, you know. Either you like that or you don’t. If you don’t like that, no problem, there is more than enough information out there to gauge that beforehand.
Not good value for money!! AN APP!!! And on HN as well. Unbelievable
If you compared it to Cut The Rope for example there's a lot more potential realised there.
