Zen Puzzle Garden - Find peace of mind in this unique challenging puzzle game

Factor Software presents Zen Puzzle Garden, a puzzle game developed by Lexaloffle Games.

Zen Puzzle Garden is a game inspired by the beauty and simplicity of Japanese rock gardens. The player controls a little monk who must find a way to rake all of the sand in each garden without raking himself into a corner. Adding to the complexity there are rocks, movable stone lanterns and leaves that must be picked up in order of colour: yellow, orange and red. There is no time limit, and you can restart the puzzle or undo a move whenever you want, so don't be afraid to experiement with different raking patterns.
