Zen Poke Is In Development

Published on February 22, 2026

Historical note: this post was written before the iOS launch. Zen Poke went live on the App Store on March 25, 2026. For current information, use the main Zen Poke page or the launch post.

Zen Poke is a mobile needle-felting-inspired reveal game I am building in Unity for iOS and Android. The goal is simple: make a relaxing, tactile-feeling experience that is easy to pick up and satisfying to finish.

This is a real production buildout project, not just a weekend prototype. Right now the focus is on a polished mobile shell, a stronger gameplay feel pass, and release-ready quality for the basic progression surfaces.

What Zen Poke Is

The game is designed around upright phone play and a cozy felt-style theme. The shell emphasizes touch ergonomics, calm pacing, and a smooth mobile experience that feels good to interact with.

I am intentionally keeping the scope focused. The priority is shipping something that feels good in your hands, performs reliably, and can be improved over time.

Why I Am Building It

The bigger goal is to build something that helps you slow down for a few minutes without needing to overthink. I want Zen Poke to feel like a healthier alternative to endless scrolling: a calm, tactile puzzle experience that lowers the noise instead of raising it.

If you want the current public app pages for Zen Poke, they now live here on Funny Man Finance:

Why This Is On Funny Man Finance

This site started as a finance and jokes corner of the internet. It is now also the public home for software and game projects. I wanted to keep the existing personality while adding the pages needed to support a real app launch.

More Zen Poke updates now show up here and on the main Zen Poke page as the project continues to grow.
