On top of the world

/

Monument Valley was released around the world for iOS on Thursday, April 3. It's Monday now, and we're still in a bit of shock. The whole team is overwhelmed and humbled by the response the game has had. Thank you to every single person that bought or played the game, or recommended it to someone else. Thank you also to the ustwo family, whose inspiration and support made this all possible.

Seeing the response people have had to the game in real time over Twitter and through blogs has been amazing. We are especially thrilled to hear from people who rarely or never play video games, who report completing and enjoying Monument Valley. Others have tweeted about playing the game with their kids, or with older parents.

Meanwhile, some gamers have wondered what it means for our $3.99 short-form game and a $9.99 spaceship simulator to find critical and popular success in the same week on the App Store.
