Kanso
Grow and tend digital bonsai trees in calm, pretty scenes.
About Kanso
Kanso is a cozy bonsai game about finding calm. You cultivate living digital bonsai trees inside softly lit scenes and shape them at an unhurried pace. A session is simply tending a tree and settling into the quiet mood of the space.
The creator built it in about a week during the jam's time crunch, using Codex, with the aim of making something that brings people joy. It placed ninth of 945 entries at Vibe Jam 2026 and received the Most Zen award, and it works on phones too.
Nothing hurries you, and taking your time is the point. Atmosphere and relaxation matter more than difficulty, the light puzzle and simulation elements stay casual, and the tree you are tending remains the focus of every scene.
