Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
After all these years its still one of our favorite games to pass time, it works well after all these years and we love that its on the iPad as well.
Tanzen is a fun puzzle game with a pleasing and easy-to-use interface, like its fellow game Trizen.
This is our favorite bedtime activity. Most puzzles are easily solvable, but some are really challenging. Ive seen criticism about wanting the pieces to snap into place, but if that were the case, the puzzles would solve themselves. Actually, we like the simplicity of the entire appno blinking ads, no trickiness to push spending, no clutter. You can purchase colors, but thats just esthetics. Another good featureyou can actually listen to podcasts or carry on conversations while playing.
TanZen just fades into the background and lets you solve the puzzles.
We used the hints, but they dont seem possible.
Countless puzzles and so well executed. Very intuitive.
We love Tangrams. But we discovered today that we can see the solution in the gray areas.
This is our go-to game for just chilling out and whiling away a few minutes. It's the best tangram puzzle game we've ever played.
We've had this game for years and go back and play it often. Many, many puzzles and quite relaxing.
LWBS has the best Tangram type game in the App store market. Lots of polish behind the scenes that make the puzzles a joy to play over and over again. Our only downside after multiple playthroughs is we wish there were even more puzzles. You will while away many hours solving these and the support is great. Recently upgraded to 64 bits to be compatible with 64 bit only OS coming from Apple.
It works great on our iPad but not so good on our iPhone. It glitches a lot and closes for no reason. We paid for it but had to remove it because it was just too frustrating.
Ive a knack for these things. We do them quite quickly. Still well worth the paid version. But theres a flaw. Once we completed the final puzzle, the whole thing locked up and began flashing psychedelic patterns and colors on our screen! The only way to stop it was to force close the app as it wont respond to touch. Reopening the app appears fine, but only by deleting and reinstalling can you start over again.
OKAY this game has been the most easy game ever and the only thing is that it has to be fixed now.
When we finish them all off, we just reload the game and start over. We're hoping the game gets upgraded for the new iOS release.
So far (done with the first 30) these are relaxing low-stress puzzles. We expect that they will become more challenging but as there's no time limit they can be done leisurely.
Enjoyable challenges at every step. Some easier than others, but a challenge non the less. For children and adult fun.
When we feel the need to relax, we settle down with Tanzen and work through the puzzles. It's just what we need to make our worries go away. A few are quite challenging, but most are able to be solved without much frustration.
Relaxing stretches for our brain with some gentle puzzling. Pretty and provokes creativity.
Really enjoyable. Lots of levels.
Addictive fun. Easy to use and so satisfying when a puzzle comes together. We have to set a timer on our iPad to limit ourselves or we'll go for hours.
These puzzles are not difficult but not so easy as to be boring, either. Relaxing and challenging at the same time.
Even better than the board game because you don't have to worry about losing the pieces.
An excellent way to exercise your mind.
This one is our first puzzle and we will buy some of the others once we have these done. We can really relax with this. We love the idea of playing the music we have on this mini.
Great app for sharpening our thinking. Thx.
We play games on our iPad mostly to relax. Our two favorite games are Osmos HD, and now TanZen. Polished interface, just the right amount of contemplation, manipulation of the tiles, and animation of the user interface.
Too many other games have ending, we don't think this one does. Lot't of fun Great fun. Worth evert penny.
It's fun and relaxing, challenging all at the same time.
Love these tang ram challenges.
Favorite game! After giving up on Candy Crush because it stressed us out too much, this was the perfect find.
If you love tangrams…you will love this app. Relaxing and beautiful.
Wonderful app beautifully executed. Our favorite "game" with all pros no cons.
It is relaxing. Great way to keep your brain stimulated.
So useful when im done with our class work. We play it almost every day.
We love to work these puzzles to give our brain a little challenge. They are difficult enough to be interesting but not so difficult that they are frustrating.
Great puzzles and lots of them. Good for traveling to calm your mind and challenge it at the same time. Good selection ranging from simple shapes to more complex shapes.
More, more, more, give us more! Just begging for more.
TanZen is challenging, yet relaxing. The music soothes you even when you can't figure it out easily. Fun to do when you have a minute.
This is very addicting, we love playing it.
This is a great game for people who like or need to think creatively. It challenges you to consider all possibilities, to think "in triangles" and is a load of fun, highly recommended.
Has the three first pages of tanzen hd lite plus like 20-30 more. It's fun and keeps our mind busy during flights and other boring things. It's definitely worth the 4 bucks.
This will definitely make you think.
Great game to give your mind some exercise. We love these types of thinking…strategy games. Am looking forward to hours and hours of fun as we piece these puzzles together. Thanks.
Want a puzzle game that is so fun that you don't realize you are using different parts of your brain to solve them? This game uses both left and right sides of your brain as you visualize the pattern and work out the way the 7 pieces fit. Amazing.
This game teaches you and relaxes you. Beautiful music and pieces. We love it and addicted to it. Thanks :).
We love these puzzles! The graphics are good and the new skins you get when you complete a page are an added bonus and incentive.
This is a great, quick puzzle that helps you briefly turn on your brain.
We love this game. We play for hours and never get bored.
A puzzle game you can relax with and have a little fun while your playing.
At your own pace, relaxing tangrams puzzler.
