SENKO
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.
The Game
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 — that is phase one. Then keep sweeping to guide the white smoke into a faint Japanese motif and fill its shape — that is phase two. The smoke is finite: each stick of incense burns down, so finish the shape before it runs out.
Fan, Brush & Red Embers
Two tools help you shape the smoke: the fan (uchiwa) calms broadly, and the brush (fude) helps you place smoke exactly where you want it. Red embers drift through the smoke — touch one and it burns your smoke back, so weave around them. If the smoke gauge runs low, on mobile a rewarded ad refills it, while the Roblox edition uses coins you earn instead of ads.
How to Play
- Sweep your finger through the rising smoke to calm the dark, churning smoke until it settles and turns white.
- Keep sweeping to gather the clear smoke into the faint motif and fill its shape — the fan calms broadly, the brush helps place smoke.
- Avoid the red embers and finish the shape before the incense burns down.
