Loops of Zen is a stark, abstract puzzle game in which you manipulate loops, curves, and lines to form an unbroken whole. Beginning from a diagram like the one in the screenshot, of broken segments and line nubs that lead no where, you click on individual items and rotate them until you achieve a solution.
The simple forms and black-and-white graphics are severe in their simplicity, but the puzzles themselves are engaging. The simplicity of the system lends itself to what ultimately, as the puzzles become more complicated, becomes a set of difficult challenges.
Simple things are actually much harder to create than complicated ones (viz., the iPod); on that account, this is an impressive piece of design.

dream-like..
I just love these -bring order to chaos- puzzles.
I've realized a couple of years ago that I made dreams like that when I was young and had fever.. usually colored blocks moving around and gobbling bigger blocks, ending up with one big entity that just shattered after a while, and beginning the cycle again.
10x10 grid.. enough for me tonight..
Easy?
I played through ~10 levels, but it never got me engaged... there are a couple of obvious "rules" to solving it that made it feel like mindless clicking.
Does it get more puzzle-like later on?
