Monument Valley is a beauty among the well-known puzzles themselves, where you have great controls to navigate your character. It has several rules: firstly; there isn’t any such move or attempt while solving the puzzle that takes you to dead end. Simply meaning, there isn’t any “Game Over!” situations to sadden you. Secondly; each chapter (i.e. the game being divided into 10chapters) introduces little concepts, polishes your mind and then it is over in about 20minutes. This prevents the concepts from being doubled and confusing you in any case and the best part; you never feel the game being repeated, while not being so context-driven that you cannot finish a chapter in a session which would lead the game overstaying its welcome in a mobile environment.
The game is designed straight and has narrow paths you go through whilst playing it. As soon as you reach the end of the path, the game prompts you to tap and hold on the gear. Once you do that, you can rotate the connecting piece of the stage and by doing so it will open up different ways to explore the area. As you rotate the block, a part of the level separates from one part and connects to another, hence creating a new path and then you can walk through it and get to the next level of the chapter. The style of the gameplay is peculiar and is resonant of Fez, Sworcery, Sword and more.
