    Tents and Trees is a great example of a coffee or morning game to play and something to do after a long day of work.

    But it’s also a really fun thing to just pick away at while listening to a podcast, or browsing YouTube – second-screen entertainment stuff. And as much as I tried, I just kept playing it instead of getting around to writing about it. I mean, it’s literally sitting behind this browser window, peeking out the sides, trying to lure me back in right now.

    Tents and Trees is a fantastic, meditative, and endless puzzle game that engages your attention, imagination, and logical thinking just right. While its immediacy fits better on mobile platforms, it still makes perfect sense on a computer, proving to be addictive and capable of easily consuming hours of your time. Considering that its puzzles take mere seconds to solve, it's truly impressive.

    Tents and Trees doesn’t reinvent the wheel: I’ve played the same types of puzzles before under a different guise, in puzzle books and on mobile apps (The ‘Charge Up’ puzzles in Puzzle Page, if you’re interested). But none of them have been as elegant and beautifully presented — and downright plentiful — as Tents and Trees. This is the type of thing I can see myself diving into night after night, as a way to unwind (and challenge my brain) before bed. And if you’re a puzzle fan too — particularly of Picross and its ilk — I’m rather certain you’ll love this.
