I can't stop playing the iPhone game 'Monument Valley'

My colleagues have raved about the mobile game "Monument Valley" since I started working at Tech Insider more than six months ago.

This weekend, I finally decided to see for myself what all the fuss was about, and I haven't been able to stop playing since I downloaded it on Friday.

Here's why:

"Monument Valley" is a puzzler — you must solve puzzles in order to move from one level to the next.

The objective of the game is to guide the princess Ida through maze-like structures.

The game is characterized by its beautiful, surreal graphics and its soundtrack. I highly encourage you to play it with headphones on or with the volume up.
