Zento is a quiet puzzle game about finding paths through stillness. Rotate the tiles. Connect the lines. There's no timer, no score, no failure state. Just you, the board, and the calming sound of piano. 200 hand-tuned levels guide you through a slow, satisfying progression. Endless mode is always there when you want to drift. Themes unlock as you play, each one a new mood. A zen ritual you can pick up for a minute or sink into for an hour. FEATURES • 200 hand-tuned levels, gently growing in size and complexity • Endless mode for limitless, randomly generated boards • Six difficulty tiers, from Still to Tide • 23 themes: ten of them earned by playing, plus three night modes for dark rooms • Nine calming piano tracks, adjustable or off • Subtle haptic feedback that feels right (and can be turned off) • Plays entirely offline. Universal, designed for iPhone and iPad • No accounts, no ads, no nag screens Try the first 20 levels free. One in-app purchase unlocks the rest: all 200 levels, the night modes and the harder endless tiers. Made by Not Another Studio. Hand-crafted with care.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Zento at none against Hidden Objects's shown. Zento also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Hidden Objects's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
