LetsTans Contour for iOS Review

lets_tans_contour_iconAre you a fan of puzzle games, more specifically tangram puzzles? For those of you who don’t know what tangram puzzles are, the objective of the puzzle is to form a specific shape using only the pieces provided. It’s a geometric puzzle and pieces can not overlap. If you’ve seen these games before, they can get pretty challenging. One of the more popular tangram games in the App Store was LetsTans. Will, there is a new take on the old tangram puzzle and it’s called LetsTans Contour. In this modified version of tangram, players must use all the pieces provided to completely fill in all the edges of the shape provided. Unlike regular tangram though, pieces here can overlap.

Playing the game is fairly easy, though the challenges are quite difficult. Basically they give you a geometric shape that has a bunch of outlines in it. Take the “contour” shapes you are given and try to fill in all the white outlines with your orange shapes. You must fill in every outline to solve the puzzle and you are allowed to overlap them. You can rotate and flip the shapes anyway you see fit in order to solve the puzzle. That’s pretty much it. There are 200+ levels included and each one offers up various degrees of difficulty.

Overall, LetsTrans Contour is a neat take on the classic tangram game. It’s very challenging and seems like a really good game to exercise your mind. I find games like this quite relaxing too as there is no time limit and you can take your time figuring these out. With over 200+ puzzles, there is plenty here to keep you occupied for hours and at your own pace.
