Zen Sort
Read full descriptionHide full description
Some puzzle games want your attention. Zen Sort just wants to keep you company. Pour little animals between glass jars until each one holds a single kind of friend. That's the whole game. There is no timer counting down, no lives to run out, and no way to lose — only a quiet, satisfying click as the last crab settles into place. A GAME THAT NEVER RUSHES YOU • No timers. No lives. No energy meter, ever. • Unlimited undo, always free — never watch an ad to fix a mistake • Par moves are a gentle target, not a punishment • Put it down mid-level and it waits exactly where you left it 3,000 LEVELS, EVERY ONE SOLVABLE Every single level is verified by a solver before it ships, so you will never hit an impossible board. They open gently — four colours at first — and grow to twelve as you find your rhythm. MEET THE SHORE FRIENDS Sort a crab, a sleepy fox, a chick, a frog, a little whale and more. Each one has its own soft voice, so you hear who is moving. Unlock a theme and the whole cast changes with it — nocturnal creatures for Tide Night, garden visitors for Zen Garden. ONE MINDFUL SORT A DAY The Daily Calm is the same puzzle for everyone, refreshed each morning. Keep a streak if you like streaks — and if life gets in the way, a free monthly freeze covers a missed day. No guilt built in. A SHORE THAT FILLS UP Stars wash treasures onto your beach: sea glass, a striped pebble, a message in a bottle, eventually a lighthouse. Twelve to find, all earned by playing. MADE TO BE KIND • Colourblind-friendly — every friend is a different shape, not just a colour • Full VoiceOver support • Reduced-motion setting for anyone who prefers things still • Plays completely offline No leaderboards. No rivals. No streak-shaming. Just you, a beach, and something gentle to tidy.
