Zen Blocks

Zen Blocks transforms the physics-based puzzle genre with a tranquil stacking experience that creates those meditative moments when your carefully placed geometric piece settles perfectly into a precarious tower—turning what begins as simple block arrangement into a delicate balance between calculated risk and creative expression. Developed by French studio Madbox, this soothing challenge creates the perfect balance between accessibility and strategic depth, where the absence of prescribed solutions invites players to experiment with diverse approaches to stability while the three-second timer adds just enough tension to make each successful stack genuinely satisfying. With its intuitive drag-and-drop controls, forgiving retry system, and the constant interplay between physical laws and artistic arrangement, Zen Blocks delivers an engaging experience for casual players and dedicated puzzle enthusiasts alike. The open-ended design philosophy creates that satisfying creative freedom where each successfully balanced structure not only demonstrates your growing mastery of physics principles but represents a unique architectural expression—making every precisely positioned block feel consequential on your journey toward geometric harmony. Whether enjoying quick puzzles during short meditative breaks or investing time in crafting particularly ambitious structures during longer relaxation sessions, Zen Blocks offers that perfect blend of straightforward mechanics and nuanced physics that makes every successfully stabilized tower feel genuinely rewarding in this aptly named stress-free experience.

Approach each level with a calm, experimental mindset that embraces multiple possible solutions
Use your mouse cursor (or touch and hold on touchscreen devices) to grab individual blocks
Release your mouse button or lift your finger to place blocks carefully on your growing structure
Consider the physical properties of different materials and shapes when determining placement order
Ensure your structure remains stable for the required three seconds to complete each level
Prevent any pieces from falling into the water below, as each lost piece costs one life
Utilize the physics engine to your advantage by creating counterbalances and stable foundations
Feel free to take conservative approaches with straightforward stacking when appropriate
Experiment with more adventurous, precarious arrangements when feeling confident
Take advantage of the unlimited retry system to test different techniques and approaches without pressure
