Have you ever been so tired at the end of the day that you end up staring into space, and you want to do something but you have next to no energy? I got some basic animation done tonight and reached a point where my brain was just… done. I wandered through my large collection of games for something to unwind to, and I ended up playing a freebie I got a long time ago called Zen Bound 2. It mainly consists of 3D objects tied to a rope, and you use your mouse or peripheral of choice to tie it up. Each level has a minimum, medium or maximum goal indicated in the bottom left corner.
With each goal completed a flower will bloom, and you’re able to ascend further up the tree until you reach the top! There are no time limits and it includes relaxing music, perfect for ending an evening on a soothing note.
Each level adds something different. You have to wrap the rope around a certain amount of nails (or nail bombs), or wrap a rope around an object to paint it. I only completed the tree of introduction this evening, but I’ll be back to take another crack at it on an evening where I’m low enough on energy reserves but still want to feel like I’m doing something!
