Hi, I'm ZenoWorks

You can also call me Steven

One day, my daughter Iris said to me:
"Dad, you always tell me to play less games — can YOU even make one?"

That one line sent someone who works in medicine
down the path of game development.

Four games so far: ZenoWorks Connect, ZenoWorks Mahjong Solitaire, ZenoWorks 2048 and ZenoWorks Sudoku. Each takes a classic format and adds something of my own — gravity-shifting stages, baby evolution, switching between pictures and numbers — tuned over many passes. Still learning; feedback welcome.

✨ Works

ZenoWorks Connect

Match baby pairs across 7 gravity-shifting stages!

Match cute baby pairs across 7 unique gravity-shifting stages! Experience upward, downward, sideways, and centripetal gravity as you clear the board. Easy to learn, fun for all ages!

Casual · Puzzle · Match

Goal: Clear the Board

Tap two babies with the same picture to clear them. Empty the board to clear the stage.

The Two-Turn Rule

The line joining two pieces may bend at most twice, and nothing may block the path. This is the heart of the genre — matching is not enough, the route has to exist. The area outside the board counts as empty, so edge pieces are usually easier than central ones.

Time Energy: Clears Refill It

The bar drains continuously, but every cleared pair returns some of it. Clear faster and you last longer — so being stuck is the real danger, not the clock itself.

Hints and the Resource Zone

When you are stuck, a hint reveals one clearable pair. Between stages a Resource Zone appears to restock what later stages will need.

ZenoWorks Mahjong Solitaire

A cute baby-themed Mahjong Solitaire — free all the babies!

A baby-themed Mahjong Solitaire with 54 unique layouts! Match and remove free tiles to liberate all 36 baby creatures. Includes hint, shuffle, and bonus systems — playable on mobile, tablet, and desktop.

Casual · Puzzle · Mahjong

Goal: Remove Every Tile

Tap two identical tiles to remove them together. Clear the whole layout to finish the stage.

🔑 What Makes a Tile Free

Only free tiles can be selected. Two conditions must both hold: at least one of its left or right side is open, and no tile rests on top of it. A buried tile cannot be taken even when its twin sits right beside it — this is the heart of the game and the biggest difference from Connect.

Three Layouts: Pick What Fits Your Screen

Portrait Lite suits phones, Portrait Full has the most tiles and suits tablets and desktops, and Landscape is for playing sideways. All three are the complete game — they differ in layout size and screen orientation.

Stages, Hints and Resources

You can pick which stage to attempt. When stuck, a hint points out a matching pair of free tiles; the Resource Zone between stages restocks what you will need later.

ZenoWorks 2048

Merge babies to evolve them from Mystery Egg to Ultimate Dragon!

Slide and merge matching babies on a 4×4 board to evolve them through 11 stages — from Mystery Egg to Ultimate Dragon! Two game modes, swipe or keyboard controls, fun for all ages.

Puzzle · Strategy · Evolution

Goal: Summon the Ultimate Dragon

On a 4x4 board, slide two identical babies together and they merge into the next stage. Start from the Mystery Egg and keep merging until the Ultimate Dragon appears — that's the win.

Controls: Four Directions

Swipe up, down, left or right on phone and tablet; use the arrow keys on desktop. Every baby slides toward that direction and identical pairs along the way merge. One swipe moves the entire board — that is the single most important thing to understand.

Two Modes: Standard and Easy

Standard follows the classic rule: a new tile appears only when a swipe actually moves something. Easy drops a new tile on every input, even when nothing on the board moved. The difference looks tiny but changes the game a lot — the reason is in Design Notes below.

Win Condition: Two Eternal Dragons

Reaching the 🐉 Eternal Dragon (1024) triggers a notice, but that is not the win yet — you need a second Eternal Dragon, and merging the two into the 🌟 Ultimate Dragon (2048) is the actual clear. The game ends when the board is full with no merges left.

ZenoWorks Sudoku

ZenoWorks Sudoku — 4 difficulty levels to test your logic!

A classic Sudoku reimagined with adorable baby creatures! From Mystery Egg to Eternal Dragon, 9 unique babies across 4 difficulty levels. Switch between number and baby display modes, with notes to track your candidates. Fun for all ages!

Puzzle · Logic · Sudoku

Goal: Once in Every Row, Column and Box

The 9x9 grid is divided into nine 3x3 boxes. Fill it so that each of the nine babies (or the digits 1–9) appears exactly once in every row, every column and every box.

Baby Mode and Number Mode

Switch to numbers-only mode at any time — the rules are identical. If babies are new to you, start in Mixed mode, which shows both symbol sets at once, then move to pure Baby once your eye adjusts.

Notes

When a cell has several possibilities, use Notes to record all the candidates inside it and narrow them down by elimination later. From Hard upwards, notes are close to essential — pure mental arithmetic rarely carries you through.

Four Difficulties

Easy, Normal, Hard and Expert. The difference lies in how many cells are filled in at the start and how deep the required reasoning goes.

👤 About Me

I'm Steven. After my daughter Iris dared me, I started making things little by little, in whatever spare time I have. Every project has Iris's footprint — she's my first user, and my toughest tester. I believe games can be more than fun — they can also help train hand-eye coordination, memory, and reaction time.
