About Zen World

Zen World is your personal little continent-sized relaxing garden, and it's up to you to make it grow and flourish!

In this world-building relaxing strategy, you start with a tiny patch of land lost among the clouds, and your job is to create a beautiful and safe environment for the people of your kingdom.
  • Build a world tile by tile by matching border types
  • Create paths to valuable loot for your scouts
  • Open boxes to get more tiles and powerups
  • Progress through the technology tree to unlock new powers and improve all aspects of your kingdom
  • Find your way through the clouds!
  • Establish military camps to protect your people

Development plan (Ocrober 2021):


Zen World is a game that can be as relaxing as you want it to be. You can carelessly place tiles here and there, based on what you feel is right and beautiful; or you can think ahead and expand your land strategically, trying to get maximum score and compete with your friends.

There are a lot of problems I have personally found with this game that hold it back from being anything other than annoying to sit through. To start with, if you're playing in the zen mode with infinite tiles you will find that you do not get nearly enough camps to deal with how frequently barbarians spawn in. There's no way to prioritize which towns get built which makes it unnecessarily hard to achieve the goals on levels where you have to build towns in certain spots because you just don't have enough tools. In all, the resources you get are far too limited and if you could actually have infinite camps and other tools within the zen mode that would improve that game mode a lot, also, maybe add an undo button.

Currently feels very incomplete and has no real difficulty scale. Levels in the campaign go from the tutorial to hellishly hard immediately, and the [b]second non-tutorial level[/b] in the campaign requires nigh perfect RNG to even get CLOSE to finishing it.

Too random to be able to plan things out ahead of time. Kept expecting it to get fun but it didn't. After chapter one I realised I was frustrated but not entertained. Don't waste your money.

I really liked this game. Not hard to learn, but takes a while to master.

Great relaxing zero-pressure puzzle game. If you like Dorfromantic while the gameplay is obviously different this game has the same "zen" vibe, beautiful landscape, and focus level (or non-focus level) as Dorfromantic. These games were meant for the same audience. You can play this game in a mindless zero-thought void and just restart it every time you run out of tiles, or you can play it to maximize a score and land on the leaderboard and dissect or plan every move. So it's great for those who just want to relax and equally good for those who want something a little complex to focus on. The devs have continued to expand on it, there are zero bugs or issues I have found, and it really is very zen. I think this is a game I can come back to for man many years and continue to enjoy each time I pick it up. It's not super complex or hard to learn, there isn't really a true end goal other than getting a higher score, there is no clock so the pace is whatever you want it to be. It may be boring to some but if you just want something light and maybe a little brain-busting (but only when you feel like it) this game is perfect. If you are someone used to shooters or fast-paced games, w…
