0.27.2

June 15, 2026

Version 0.27.1 expands Zen Shards' late game. Upgrade caps have been raised, limits removed, more skill picks added, and number formatting improved. This was a huge effort โ€” I hope it makes the late game more fun. Let me know what you think, and stay tuned for more! Thank you so much for playing! Enjoy!

Great!

Beat FREE game without annoying ads. Humble devs. Support them

Strangely compelling to playโ€ฆ

I found this โ€œgameโ€ a few months ago and have played it consistently since (105 days now).

Iโ€™m not sure why.

There is very little gameplay to this game - even for an idle game.

However it is oddly compelling to watch, listen to, and simply zone out to while it is running.

It is indeed quite Zen - at least for me. Some days I might just check in, click a few boosts or upgrades, and then leave. Other days I might be in it for long enough I need to connect my phone to a power source. Just watching, listening to the music, and slowly upgrading.

Iโ€™m not going to say this is the best part of my day, however it most certainly is a very, very nice distraction from doom scrolling and other games.

5 stars.

This game is amazing!

Awesome game. Its pretty, its relaxing, the sounds are on point and they got the ads right too! The progression doesnt feel that annoying either, you dont get stuck for hours on one level, you can just reset and come back more powerful. You have all the control as the player and its so nice.

You dont have to watch any ads but any you do watch add up and you get rewarded for that over time also.

When im ever looking for a new game, this is the developer i will be coming to first.

Thank you for doing this game right :)

Perfect

I praise you for making a simple, visually appealing game with 0 involuntary ads. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

Recent update

Whatever the most recent update was completely bricked the game for me. It completely crashes whenever I open it.

Aside from that, itโ€™s an awesome game. It has ads but none of them are forced on you an occasionally the game gives you a free boost when you hit an optional ad.
