Meditating Monk is a game about meditation. (Actual feelings of meditation may vary.) Taking cues from games like Flappy Bird, Meditating Monk only requires one finger to play. When you tap the screen, a monk will float into the air, and you'll have to keep tapping to make sure he doesn't hit the ground below or the tree branch above him. The longer you keep the monk floating, the higher your score will be. If you earn a score of at least 10, you'll receive an enlightening thought. This game features sound and music from Davy Wolf. A special thanks to him for the sweet tunes!
