SENKO
Out now on the App Store and Roblox; Android testers welcome on Google Play.
SENKO is a cozy, two-phase smoke puzzle. Light a stick of incense and a restless dark smoke rises — sweep it with your finger to calm it until it settles and turns clear and white. Then guide that white smoke to fill a faint Japanese motif: the moon, a pine, a crane, cherry blossoms and more, across 120 quiet stages. Watch for red embers — touch one and it burns your smoke back, so weave around them. The smoke is finite, so shape it before the incense burns down. A fan calms broadly and a brush helps you shape. No pressure, 12 languages.
