Description
Vanitas. A memento mori for your digital hands. To lift you up when you're feeling down. And drag you down when you're up too high.
Everything flows, nothing remains. Vanity of vanities, all is vanity! Life is the farce we are all forced to endure.
Sometimes, when you're depressed, it's good to see something depressing. A contemplation of the fleetingness of life. To help appreciate what you have. A meditative experience. A spiritual toy. A reminder of the preciousness of existing.
Designed by Auriea Harvey & Michaël Samyn. With Zoë Keating on cello.
Referring to still life paintings from the 16th and 17th century, Vanitas presents you with a gorgeously rendered 3D box filled with intriguing objects. Close the box and open it again to see new objects. You can move the objects by tilting your phone or pushing and dragging the objects with your fingers. To create pleasant arrangements that inspire and enchant. Some objects decay. A flower blooms. A bubble pops. Life like an empty dream flits by.
- Beautiful, tactile realtime 3D graphics. - Subtle sound effects. - Surprising musical punctuation by renowned avant cellist Zoë Keating. - Realistic physics. - 35 Different 3D objects with multiple states arranged over 12 stages. - Simple, intuitive and direct interaction through multi-touch and tilt. - Random combinations can generate over 40,000 different dynamic interactive pictures, each capable of inspiring contemplation. - 24 Quotes on the topics of life and vanity from The Bible and from famous authors such as Rimbaud, Nietzsche, Sappho and Kundera. - Win a gold star each time you get three identical objects.
From the makers of independent games milestones The Path, Fatale, The Endless Forest and The Graveyard. Created at the occasion of The Art History of Games symposium in February 2010 in Atlanta.

A wooden box of life and death Like the developers say: "To lift you up when you're feeling down. And drag you down when you're up too high." The graphics and the sound are beautifully crafted. This game doesn't have a goal, but holds a lot of atmosphere and stuff to reflect over. Every aspect of it has a symbolic value.

Keeps uninstalling itself Love this toy, don't love reinstalling every time I want to play it.
★☆☆☆☆Nancy T.· May 11, 2016
Crashes before it even opens the game. This game looked fantastic. I installed it, but hadn't started playing right away. I was disappointed when I went to play and it crashed. I thought maybe I missed some updates, so I uninstalled and re-installed it. Still crashes. I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that was upgraded to lollipop. Maybe the upgrade caused the problem? Please fix.

Crash on startup On my Sony Tablet Z4 I get a crash on startup. Could be lollipop related or resolution related. Either way, it's an instant crash. I hope it will somehow be fixed.
