Despite being neither unique nor memorable, SEN is a charming little puzzler that does the job it intends to do. Despite a few minor issues, SEN is a largely positive experience if you’re looking for something to pass the time. It also deserves huge credit for how it intuitively teaches you the game with little aid.

About
SEN is a minimalistic zen puzzle game about recognising patterns of numbers, colours and shapes.
The rules of the game are taught with absolutely zero instruction - the progression and design of the levels has been carefully balanced to introduce each rule, thereby giving players the sensation of discovering the rules for themselves. Featuring easy to learn rules that are difficult to master, different game modes, and a beautifully relaxing soundtrack.

Critic reviews
- 6.0It's a shame that the difficulty spike was so abrupt and painful. There is the core of a great game here. A little more play-testing or a little bending of the design philosophy to allow a hint system would have allowed me to retain the initial positive feelings I had towards the game. I hope that the developers make more games in this vein and refine their formula further.
- There is a small amount of enjoyment to be found in SEN: Seven Eight Nine’s more challenging levels. However, the title fails to offer anything particularly novel or groundbreaking, and could also benefit from some quality-of-life improvements.
