Yesterday a new Game was discovered in the OVI Store for Maemo on N900: Zen Bound

Zen Bound is been developed by Secret Exit Ltd. and it's an award winning 3D game: 'Excellence in 3D' award in IMGA 2009.

What is Zen Bound? 

In short, Zen Bound is a calm and meditative game of wrapping rope around wooden sculptures - a simple task that can become surprisingly complex.

 

It is something to be enjoyed at a slow pace: a game where a high score is not the goal. Zen Bound is designed to challenge in a subtle way, it does not attack or force the player. There is also an element of self-reflection, for each of the sculptures is a representation of a state of mind or a human emotion.

 

We want the game to feel hand-made: we photographed materials and sampled rope sounds. Bass, strings, a metallic teapot and many others were recorded separately from live instruments for the musical score. We studied totem poles and Mexican wood sculptures for reference. Zen Bound is a game of stone, wood and rope; much effort was put into making them feel right.

 

Above all, we focus on playability and polish.

here are some game features:

• - The most beautiful graphics yet seen on the N900
• - Intuitive and natural (tilt supported)
• - 76 levels included: Tree of Reflection, Tree of Challenge and Tree of Nostalgia.
• - A captivating 22-minute downtempo soundtrack from 'Ghost Monkey'

obviously Secret Exit isn't sleeping anymore, so they already released Zen Bound 2, which is only available for the iPhone and iPad at the moment, but i think this will come on the Maemo platform, too.
