About Zenza
"Time progresses, and the seasons change. The wind blows us towards new hope, new life, new goals. An aching loss left behind. A new blossom, a new beginning."
Zenza is a calming yet strategic puzzle game taking the player on a journey through the seasons. Put colors or shapes together to achieve balance. Progress through 80 increasingly challenging levels to perfect your zen. Leaves, blossoms, or snow may fall. There's always a chance to start anew. Zenza is based off of Kigo Haiku, a form of Japanese poems thematically relating to the seasons.
Play through the four seasons:
- Spring - The Cherry Tree (Sakura) Blooms
- Summer - The Bonsai is Trimmed in Rainy Season
- Fall - The Momiji Maple Leaves Fall
- Winter - The Oak Tree is covered in Snow
Zenza is a "no fail" game; you can slice your unwanted tiles away, blow away your deck of tiles with the wind or undo a move at will. Be aware that if you do, your score may suffer in the end. Zenza allows you to use your wits and will to create your perfect game board.
Featuring a dynamic 2D lighting system and an original soundtrack. Draw your moves with the calligraphy pen to create a swirling masterpiece.

[h1] Not very zen like... [/h1]12 found this helpful
Very poor puzzle game with a lot of bugs, and gameplay that is likely to be more frustrating than calming. While it looks quite nice, and the game plays fairly intuitively with just needing to place tiles adjacent to each other based on either the colour or shape, beyond that things break down quite quickly. Firstly the bugs while not gamebreaking are annoying - use the wind ability twice too quickly to remove two tiles and it messes up the tiles in your hand so you can't tell what they are. Also if you give up and retry a level before completing it, some of the tiles will not reload properly on your second attempt. Menu buttons sometimes can only be clicked from somewhere above/below the button. And so on. More critically though is the frustrations of the gameplay itself - in the early (Spring) levels you have 4 shapes and 4 colours and to get three stars on the level you need at least one of each, this increases to 5/4 in Summer, 5/5 in Autumn and finally six of each in Winter. In the smaller Winter levels you will miss at least 1 of the colours or shapes more than half the time, meaning no matter how well you play you never had a chance of getting three stars in the first plac…8 found this helpful

Enjoy it for what it is. Best played when mentally exhausted, don't expect a challenge. Just enjoy the aesthetic and scenery as you match along the tiles. There isn't often a way to lose but there is a little strategy involved. Try not to mind the bug or two that might make you restart a puzzle. You can challenge yourself by going for a perfect score but it's pretty luck based as other reviews have said. Still, not really a grind if you want to. You can get a perfect score in some 3 tries on anything but the hardest puzzles but I found it to be satisfying. I'd love to see more of this. Sans the bugs and with more challenge though.1 found this helpful

I really enjoy puzzle games but this one was just so incredibly boring. Every is way too easy and just takes the entire fun out of what puzzles should be. My play time has been sitting at .2 hours since I got this game and sadly I discovered too late that you can get refunds for games. Save your time and money and go find a better puzzle.
