I still can't tell if I'm seeing this right, because this never goes for free. But it seems it's free with IAPs.
27MB initial download, but then you have an additional 237MB data file to download after that. Best to add it to your library first (hit install, then cancel download), then download it over wifi when you get the chance.
"Monument Valley is a surreal exploration through fantastical architecture and impossible geometry. Guide the silent princess Ida through mysterious monuments, uncovering hidden paths, unfolding optical illusions and outsmarting the enigmatic Crow People."
An android app -specifically a game.
It's a puzzle game. One of the most beautiful puzzle games you will ever play. It kind of straddles game and art.
The game draws heavily from M.C. Escher's work. Trust me, I would have paid full price for this anyway. I was going to, actually. I was going to buy this and Monument Valley 2 this morning… and then I saw this.
OH cool thanks, hopefully this will still be free when I get home to download since the game is too big to get on 4G data
P.S Probably best to update your description
Just tap install but then immediately cancel the download. This will add the app to your library now, after which you can download it once you get on to WiFi.
normally I do this for all the free stuff.
icon packs etc - wont use it now/but who knows down the track right?
Noted and updated.
Has been free on Amazon a number of times but much preferred to get it this way.
Yes I got this for free on Amazon a while ago too, but it's much nicer to have everything under the one account
Same. Plus, now I can play this on my Chromebook too.
Same. I wanted to buy the IAP but wasnt willing to purchase the base game on Google Play when i already had it and completed it on Amazon (I don't want to buy stuff on Amazon, it's a rubbish appatore). Now I can go buy the IAP…
For those curious about the IAP, it's the Forgotten Shores expansion from 2014. I was hoping for something new, but I bought that using free Amazon coins ages ago.
I haven't bothered to reinstall the Amazon Appstore on newer devices so nice to have this game back.
Has been free on Google Play a number of times too, and also included in at least one Humble Bundle.
Great game…loved the graphics
I can also agree this is one of the most beautiful, fun and mind bending (but not massively taxing) games on mobile, definite 5 stars
why not iOS?
QQ
Maybe because the developers are Android fan boys…
Fantastic game. I just completed MV2 and it was also fantastic!
Amazing game!!
Got it on my Amazon account. This is a good excuse to install it and finish it again. Well worth it even at full price.
It's pretty bad when this happens to any previously paid app.
Often means people who have already paid are about to see IAP shit flood their experience.
not cool.
Currently downloading to see what the IAPs are about. I hope it's just buying hints or something.
the IAP is a special additional chapter. It was always IAP even when it was not free.
and it (profanity) me up, because I bought it before a flight, then tried to play it during the flight, but couldn't because this shitware needed to connect to google play services.
amaze balls game. bought both 1&2 when on sale, to supports devs. You should 2 if you love it. otherwise no more monument valley
Yup. Got that too. I played a bit of it on an iPad in Target or something on the weekend. That's why I went looking for it today and found the first one was free.
This was me this morning…
Okay… Monument Valley 2… $8… yeah, alright. Where's the first one? Ah.. there it is… why does it say "Install"? Why does it say $6 and crossed out? Am I seeing this right? Wait… let me open another browser… Hmmmm… still free. Is it really free? I think it is. Is it? That can't be right… Maybe I'm seeing it wrong. I guess it's right. I'll post it on OzBargain and see if people blast me for a bogus deal, because I still can't tell if it's free or not.

Your thought process is so quirky! /s
That's my life all day, every day. I can barely function without checking, double checking and triple checking. I don't have OCD, but sometimes it feels like it.
@flaminglemon: im also a double/triple checker, especially car doors, nice to know there's another 1 like me in the world lol
One of the best single player mobile only games made
Thanks for the post. Never heard of this and I agree the graphics are amazing.
Happy they it can be moved to the sdcard too.
Best mobile game ever
This is a "monumental post" @flaminglemon
I know. It's great valley-ue.
The graphics are amazing, thank you for such an awesome post flaminglemon!
Happy to share.
Excited to check this out after all the positive comments. Thanks.
Just finished the game, loved it! :)
I've started getting random advertising on my phone since installing this .
Uninstalled …
