A little ahead of the official North American download update from Nintendo, it's been confirmed that chilled-out puzzle game Color Zen will arrive on the Wii U eShop today; it'll come to Europe one week later on 22nd May.
Developed by Large Animal and published by Cypronia, this is being plugged as a "new kind of puzzle game". With headphones encouraged, it appears to revolve around connecting abstract shapes and colours, with 460 levels and a focus on the soundtrack with work from musician Steve Woodzell.
It seems like an ambitious idea, as any game that seeks relaxation and immersion sets itself a tough task. North American gamers will see for themselves today — pricing to be confirmed — while we can all check out the trailer, below.

It looks like an interactive drug trip.....
Sold!
Im gunna buy
This looks strangely addicting...
Nintendo's official page for this game has it priced at $3.99.
This game is total quality i love it on my ipad & Note 3 and normally gets 5/5 gold ward reviews etc, another decent title for the eShop then, will pick this up when on sale i think.
Loks like a nice, relaxing puzzler. With 460 levels, if the price is right I'll pick it up.
It seems it uses very basic colors, so I guess my color blindness will be able to handle it. Very cheap to boot.
It looks great! Nice to see that there are still some new ideas to be found
Why couldn't it be released today here in Europe as well?
I need this to cool down after Scram Kitty.
Got a demo of this during lab work on.green shore crabs last summer, it was pretty good and will definitely consider buying for Wii u
I can go for some zen gameplay from time to time. That Japanese paper craft game looks similarly relaxing.
40's style color and shape play as a game?
I can dig it!
Though I'm unsure as to how "zen" it is. Seems rather bold and dramatic.
been playing this jem for the last hour. it's totally worth the price. honestly it could be higher with this much content.....like 4.99 or 5.99 but then i probably wouldn't have taken a chance on it.
@faint thanks for sharing. I wanted to hear another opinion before I buy it. Im in.
Gotta admit … the music is impressive. I think I'll take a dive into the game just for the soundtrack. Everything else will be gravy!
@faint
I agree. I love the minimalistic aesthetic and the bright colors. Plus it has a ton of levels.
