Monument Valley: Forgotten Shores Now on iOS, Android Next Week

Ustwo’s Monument Valley is a puzzle game that garnered a lot of praise when it hit mobile last spring. The title’s MC Escher-inspired levels and soft color palette lend it a surreal atmosphere that has yet to be duplicated by any other mobile game.

We first reported last week that Monument Valley would be getting eight new levels courtesy of an expansion pack called “Forgotten Shores,” and as of this morning, those levels are now available on iOS.

As might be expected by this point, your trip through Forgotten Shores is a weird (and weirdly relaxing) puzzle experience.

The new levels are available as a $1.99 in-app purchase. They’re already available on the iOS version of the game, but according to the official Monument Valley Facebook page, Android users will have to wait just a little bit longer for the continuation of Ida’s journey:

Of course, rich journeys are worth the extensive preparation time. Android gamers should be able to pick this one up on Google Play and the Amazon App Store starting next week.
