Monument Valley is now on Android

Monument Valley is one of those rare games that comes along only every once in a while. The kind that’s beautiful, tranquil, and deeply satisfying. It feeds your soul in the way that a painting can – only this painting comes to life with the swipe of your finger.

As if locked away in a private gallery, though, this painting was only available to iOS users – but that changes right now.

Android users can now grab Monument Valley from Google Play for $3.99, and Kindle users can do the same on Amazon.

Not sold yet? Be sure to read our review from the game’s April launch. It would have been our game of the month if not for that damned Hearthstone, and even so, I’d still consider it a Game of the Year contender.

Monument Valley Review
By Jillian Werner
Monument Valley is a work of art. Its intricate, delicately crafted levels are masterpieces that exceed their M.C. Escher inspirations. Where Escher designed 2D representations of impossible-yet-operational architecture, Monument Valley opens that idea up to a 3D world that must withstand scrutiny from every angle as well as direct manipulation by the viewer. Paths that appear elevated and inaccessible from one direction become stepping stones when rotated. Supporting archways are actually stairs once flipped. Every part of the towering structures fit together like crisp, fresh out of the box jigsaw pieces, and yet they can be turned and twisted to create dozens of new pictures that are just as unified and smooth.Your interaction with these impossible structures is twofold: at times, you will manipulate them directly, turning cranks or sliding pieces of the architecture to achieve tactile, immediate changes. Other restructurings require characters within the towers themselves to step on buttons to elicit responses, ranging from doors opening to entire sections of the world moving. All of these actions have one goal: get our protagonist, Ida, to the platform at the end of the stage.
