Jun Zilan and Gu Lan were also trying out "Monument Valley" in the dormitory at this time, and Gu Feng sent them the installation package early in the morning.

After playing two chapters, they all became interested in this game where the painting style looks beautiful and the levels look simple.

In just two levels, Monument Valley shows its unique gameplay that stands out from the rest.

After entering the third chapter, the game has an additional mechanism, which is a platform that can be dragged vertically.

At this level, Junzilan saw a novel design again.

When you drag a platform down, the platform on the side rises accordingly.

Just drag to a fixed position to dock the two platforms on one side, and you can walk from one side to the other.

The charm of Monument Valley begins to unfold during the play, and every time you are surprised that it can still be done in the first place, the designers will bring new surprises to the next place.

Just like here in Chapter 4, the appearance of the Penrose Triangle is amazing, and the plane change causes the girl to stand on the vertical wall like a cornice, and people exclaim, "Is this okay?" The visual dislocation caused by the change of perspective makes it even more incredible to splice together two platforms that were originally separated by a distance.

Monument Valley's masterful design and use of space and visual brilliance soon won them over.

Not only them, but the mobile game area of the Chuxin Experience Store is several times more lively than before.

As far as the eye can see, the limited number of seats is already full of customers, and everyone is trying out the new game of the experience store.

Behind them, more or less there were a few onlookers.

The entire mobile game area has changed from the past, where there were many girls, and the style of leisure and beautiful painting was heard from time to time.

"! Is this Nima okay too? ”

"! How is this done? ”

"This design is just a dick explosion!"

"Damn, I suspect my eyes are fake."

"Oneiroi is awesome!"

Wen Meng stood in an inconspicuous place and watched this scene with a smile, and the player's love and praise was the greatest affirmation of the game designer.

The content of the third chapter is not as much as the first two chapters, she doesn't want her design to lower the level of the whole game, in the design process, she not only consulted a lot of space geometry, space aesthetics, optical illusion information, but also specifically asked Lu Yu for a lot of advice.

In addition, there are so many levels of experience in the first two major chapters to learn from, and she finally completed the design of the third major chapter, although this major chapter only has five small chapters, but the quality is not bad.

When Dead Cells experienced the in-store test, although the reviews were good, they did not spread much on the Internet.

As soon as Monument Valley was tested, it directly showed a completely different style, and in just three days, it had already spread on the Internet, and a new game called "Monument Valley" was released in the Chuxin Experience Store.

One of the most mentioned words about the description of this game by those who have played it is - absolutely!

Before it was officially released, Monument Valley was hyped to a very high level, and it really did not hit the ground running.

And the evaluation of these people who have tried it is even more exaggerated.

Some say it's a true masterpiece.

Some say it's a game that can truly be called art.

Some say that Monument Valley has locked in the best mobile game of 2022 in advance.

Some say that this is the most magnificent masterpiece of space aesthetics.

The one-sided praise inevitably makes people suspect that this is an invitation to the navy.

But clicking on the dynamics and profiles of these people, it is obvious that these are ordinary passers-by.

As a result, everyone is looking forward to this mysterious game.

Gu Feng didn't make them wait too long.

On July 5, Gu Feng released a news release, announcing that "Monument Valley" would be officially released on July 8.

On July 8, "Monument Valley" was officially released and launched, priced at 20 yuan.

On July 9, Gu Feng released a news release and announced the data of the first day of "Monument Valley".

Monument Valley first-day downloads: 1.09 million!

Rating: 9.9!

As soon as this news came out, it directly shocked the Internet.

You must know that the number of downloads in the first week of Happy Pop was only 380,000, and the number of downloads in the first week of Garden Pop created a record of mobile games, which was only 1.02 million.

And now, Monument Valley has directly completed the feat of selling more than one million in a single day.

It's worth mentioning that both games are free to download, while Monument Valley requires purchase before downloading.

When converted into running water, it is equivalent to Monument Valley creating more than 20 million turnover in a single day.

Such a terrifying ability to attract money directly makes other game designers drool.

In addition to being greedy, their first thought was naturally to learn from it, but after playing it in person, they were all dumbfounded.

How can you copy this? This is not a road at all!

Whether it is a game reviewer or an ordinary player, the evaluation of Monument Valley is almost a one-sided perfect score.

An authoritative game reviewer wrote.

I've always had doubts about whether games can truly be called art.

Many games convey the ideas of the makers with their own excellent quality, but those games are either expressed in cinematic sound and light, or in indifferent but explosive words, strictly speaking, this is not the art of games, but rather the product of a blend of other art forms.

But to this day, the birth of Monument Valley makes me have to admit that it is a real gem of the game, and it is a well-deserved work of art.

It has its own unique gameplay, but instead of teaching you by hand, it treats you as if you were a smart person, giving you plenty of room to imagine and discover the admirable and amazing details of the game.

It has a vigorous plot, but it is implicitly blooming in the details, in addition to a few extremely short paragraphs of text in the game, more is elaborated and expressed through the game, the game gives the player enough blank, as if the player himself is Ada, when the player opens the game, she herself embarked on this confessional journey.

This game is like nature, it doesn't try to attract you and try to make money out of your pocket. Like it or not, it's there. But as long as you don't lack the eye to find beauty, one day, you will see it and usher in that fateful encounter.

A university mathematics professor commented:

"Monument Valley is not a simple game, it is the crystallization of people's wisdom in the exploration of space geometry, it uses many impossible objects in the form of games to make ordinary people feel the charm of space, from the details of the game can be seen the designer's high attainment in visual art.

From my own standpoint, I believe that Monument Valley can be the key to unlocking students' interest in the geometric world of space.

As a sincere tribute to the designer, I would like to call it a true work of art for games. ”

The reputation of Monument Valley has completely exploded under the continuous fermentation, and to everyone's surprise, it is not the people in the gaming circle who blow the most about Monument Valley, but the people in the mathematics and architecture circles.

These guys praise Monument Valley with all their praise, and some of the technical terms they blow out are incomprehensible to most gamers, so naturally, with the blessing of these high-level rainbow farts, Monument Valley is even better.

In layman's terms, this is the fire out of the circle!
