About
TransPlan is a single-player puzzle game that takes about 2 hours to complete. Players must deliver payloads from point A to point B using simple tools and physics, creating ramps and catapults to solve hand-drawn puzzles. With increasing complexity and the ability to unlock later levels and categories, players can earn hints by finishing projects on-budget and can utilize cloud saves and achievements.

- TransPlan features a charming graphical style and engaging physics-based puzzles that start easy and gradually increase in difficulty, providing a satisfying challenge.
- The game offers a good amount of content for its price, with enjoyable mechanics that allow for creative problem-solving and multiple ways to complete puzzles.
- Players appreciate the relaxing atmosphere, simple controls, and the ability to earn hints, making it accessible for casual gamers while still providing enough depth for puzzle enthusiasts.
- The game's physics can be inconsistent and non-deterministic, leading to frustrating experiences where similar actions yield different results, particularly with the buggy undo feature.
- Many players find the game to be quite short, with completion times averaging around 2-3 hours, which may not justify the price for some.
- Some puzzles rely heavily on trial and error rather than strategic planning, which can detract from the overall experience and make it feel less rewarding.

Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's atmosphere, although there are occasional inconsistencies in the physics mechanics.

“The drawn aesthetic and blank page background get bland and somewhat grating quickly.”

“The graphics are pretty minimalistic; it's all done on graph paper and with pencil, so it's still aesthetically pleasing.”
