## What is ZEN?

ZEN is an innovative puzzler with original gameplay that combines precision, reaction and inventiveness. Your goal is to guide the ball though a labyrinth towards the gates, avoiding collision with sparkling blocks. Move the ball using combination and sequence of waves, the number of which is limited for each level, so make sure to choose the shortest way. And cut corners. 

"The first few levels are easy, but, by level eight or nine, the game gets challenging quickly."

### 4/5 — "AP"TLY NAMED

*2010-12-30*

Found this via an app review site.
A lovely little sleeper. 
Well done, Thank YOU

### 4/5 — Nice Puzzler

*2010-03-14*

Think this one is nice enough to keep and play. Uses horizontal and vertical lines to move a ball into the hole or exit and then throw in some obstacles and you got a nice game. Timing is everything with this game. Nice enough to recommend to others.

### 2/5 — Now spoiled

*2010-02-10*

This was a brilliant puzzle game, but has been totally broken by the latest update. Now every level is unlocked from the start, there's no indication of which ones you've completed, and no kind of scoring. So there's nothing to actually play for. A real pity.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2009-11-07*

Since the update it wont load it just CRASHES please fix!

### 4/5 — intresting game

### 4/5 — Good game
