TransPlan Reviews

Really enjoyed this game. It's a series of physics-based puzzles with a great graphical style, starts easy but gets increasingly harder at a good pace. Well worth the purchase. STEAM DECK COMPATIBILITY: Works perfectly on the Steam Deck.

TransPlan is a very enjoyable puzzle/physics game at a very enjoyable price. If you have a penchant for this sort of game, this is definately one NOT to be missed. The goal is to cause one geometric shape to be delivered to the same spot as another shape, locked in place (so far at least.) This is done by a combination of manipulating the moving shape, as well as other shapes, using the force of gravity. Shapes are manipulated by using pins, much in the manner of Crayon Physics Deluxe, or by erasing. Perhaps other means further on, and some of the shapes fall into sometimes partially controllable PILES of shapes. It can be somewhat complex, and so far the number of suggested necessary movements has gone as high as eight. The "reset" and "undo" buttons will be well used, and should be, without shame. I've had fun failing deliberately, just to watch gravity at work. (If you have a touch screen this game is a little piece of heaven! VERY well thought out.) So far I've just passed the 40 puzzle mark, apparently of 70. Nothing is crazy-frustrating, and in fact can be fairly easily accomplished, though without the feeling of being a gift. (I've returned to a few, rather than become frustrated.) There is thought required for success, and since many can be solved below "par" (basically under "budget", or in less than the suggested number of movements) there is an additional challenge that can be quite a bit more interesting, even after initial completion. (I've come in as much as 5 below, on a 7-movement puzzle, and there are two achievements to recognize that very thing.) The map is well conceived, as is the process of becoming eligible to access certain puzzles and groups of puzzles. At any time there may be numerous puzzles available for consideration, grouped into categories such as "catapult" and "sling" (my personal favorite!) Don't expect this to be Crayon Physics Deluxe, and at this wonderful price and degree of accessibility, it shouldn't be. Every puzzle solved has given me a nice feeling of accomplishment, without the frustration so often a game-ending part of the journey. Since I am in no way an engineer, I am grateful for this really fun, well designed game with a very well conceived learning curve. And the DEVs will respond quickly, sometimes within minutes. For me, that can be the BEST feature in a game. (4mdt, puzzle pro)

[h1]"Brillliant physics puzzler with simple paper sketch graphics"[/h1] You can attach pins into blocks or rubber blocks away. The aim is to bring the blue block to the other blue block. Levels are named after the technic you use, like catapult, slingshot or pendulum. Highly enjoyed playing this game.

Fun puzzle game. The objective is to move blue ball/square into another blue square using few simple mechanics based on gravity and motion. Graphical style reminds me of Crayon Physics Deluxe (which is good :P), the music is ok, overall quality of this small game is really good. Play it if you wanna have few headscratchers :P

Fun little physics puzzle game. Your goal is to get a blue square or circle to a blue area to complete each puzzle. Items start stationary but when you click on them gravity is activated and the blocks will move accordingly. You're given two tools to complete your tasks wtih; an eraser and thumbtacks. The eraser will let you get rid of undesirable blocks and the tacks can go in slots to make the block pivot around that spot. Using these tools, you'll make catapaults, swings and other interesting tools to help you throw blocks around in ways that would give Newton a boner. The graphics are pretty minimalistic, it's all done on graph paper and with pencil, so it's still aesthetically pleasing. The music I really enjoyed, just simple playful little tunes that will have you unashamedly bobbing while you sling blocks around. The overall theme of the game is simplicity hiding some pretty complex features. It will only take a few hours to complete. The game isn't super challenging, but it will make you think a bit. Definitely worth a playthrough

Nice casual logic/puzzle physics based game. You can pin down or erase elements to finally set them in positions so that the blue one reaches the destination. Easy concept, well made game. Too bad it is so short. Those 80 or so levels should have been only training or tutorial to something bigger. Given that I bought it fo 0.5€ or something like that, I may say those were well spent money. I would buy it again for that price. If you see it on sale for some crazy-low money and you like puzzle games, just go for it. One more thing - works great in Linux.

Quite a fun little puzzle game, some parts I figured out pretty quickly but other parts, primarily in the later stages I really had to think what I needed to do to complete the level. Very good game for the money and I definately recommend buying it if you like puzzle games.

The idea of the game is quite nice. But it's easy to make unintended trivial workaround solutions. And the bugs of the undo feature are exploitable (I accidentally finished a level once by clicking undo...) The game still can be enjoyable for perhaps 2 hours, and the price on sale makes it a good deal. ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Very nice game. It is simple and inside is the beauty. Fun puzzles with physics of objects from A to B, good for enriching your logical thinking. May seem a simple concept A to B, but in between you have to build the appropriate path and think from physics aspect, how the various objects interact with each other. Nice ambient music that goes along. At the beginning it has a tutorial to teach you about the couple of tools you can use to create the right path to transport the blue object in the blue portal. Note to developer, this game deserves a sequel in the future :)

Good and relatively quick game to 100% for achievements. TransPlan is a simple physics-based puzzle game that reminded me of classics like 'The Incredible Machine.' Each level has a par number of moves you can score under, at, or over. If you are having trouble with any puzzles, "hint tokens," which you earn by beating levels, can be redeemed to show you how to start (or if you use a lot of tokens, finish) whatever puzzle you'd like. All in all, this is a pretty non-threatening and casual puzzle game, which isn't to say that all the puzzles are easy, but it never manages to get frustrating. For the asking price of $2-$3 dollars, you're looking at roughly a dollar per hour of gameplay, and you can certainly do much worse than that.
