"Unquestionably, one of the best puzzle app games of 2013." - Tom Cutrofello, gottasolveit.blogspot.com
In Zen Garden Puzzle there is no pressure: just play at your own pace and relax. No matter what you do, you will never be more than three moves away from the puzzle's only solution. But can you find those moves?
Your goal is to position one stone in every delimited area. That might not be as easy as it looks, because every time you move one stone, another one moves in the opposite direction.
Between puzzles, pause to meditate over words of wisdom and classic haiku poems.
As you become more experienced, you will advance through the Dan ranks and solve harder puzzles.
• Stimulates logic, memory and concentration.
• Endless: the solution of a puzzle is the starting point of a new one.
• Procedurally generated music, different every time.
• Automatically syncs progress across devices. No need for registration.
• No ads, no in-app purchases.

"Simple rules with a simple goal, yet the puzzles can be fiendishly tricky. I'm loving this, and I bet you will too."

Zen Garden

I really enjoyed using this app. The increasing challenge was paced to keep me engaged but not stressed. I saved many of the sayings. I just let the app upgrade. I was 89% of the way to level 9. I was afraid I lost all my progress, but now it’s back! ;-) And now, it’s gone again. I enjoyed playing, but I’m not willing to start over.

Zen is right; the game helps me relax while taxing my logical circuits. A contradiction? No, it has found the sweet spot.
Zen-sational!

A really well done game, minimal and elegant, with polish and style. You get into a nice rhythm, and it’s hard to put down! Kudos to the developers on an excellent little app.
Delightful implementation, great puzzles

I love the aesthetics of this game, and the puzzles are a deep and interesting family. I'm pretty confident that they cannot always be solved in three moves, as I've read; I believe six moves is the maximum needed. I like to study the puzzle before moving, a pleasant way to relax. Great job!
Excellent game

Enjoyable and relaxing. No time or speed pressures, just take your time and study the puzzle. I like the meditative sayings and bell after you solve each one.
This a good way to practice effortlessness.

Using no mind helps to beautify the garden.
