Planned Run
Read full descriptionHide full description
Planned Run is a side-view puzzle game where success depends on planning, not reflexes. Instead of controlling a character in real time, you record short action plans and watch them play out automatically. Each run lasts only a few seconds โ but solving a level often takes multiple runs, careful timing, and smart positioning. Plan your movement. Replay your actions. Adjust your strategy and try again. Key Features - Plan-first gameplay: Record your actions, then let the game execute them. - Multi-step puzzle levels: Most challenges require several planned runs to complete. - Single-screen platform puzzles: Vertical movement, platforms, and timing matter. - Undo and retry freely: Refine your plan without pressure. - Clean, focused design: No distractions โ just puzzles built around time and space. Planned Run is not about fast reactions. Itโs about thinking ahead, learning from each replay, and finding the right sequence.

Zen Mode No time limit. No game over. Just you and the hex grid. When tiles fill the board, it expands so you can keep playing. Turn off the score counter for pure flow, or leave it on to chase your personal best. Your progress auto-saves whenever you step away. Challenge Mode Water rises from below every few moves, swallowing tiles in its path. Merge tiles into 128 or higher to push the water back. Choose your pace with three difficulty levels: Gentle, Flow, and Torrent. How long can you stay ahead of the tide? FOCUS TIMER A built-in Pomodoro timer turns Numvana into a productivity companion. Set your work duration, break length, and number of cycles. During focus time, the game locks and a countdown keeps you on track. When your break arrives, the game unlocks and you play Zen mode as your reward. Notifications keep you on schedule even when the app is in the background. Customize every parameter: 15-60 minute work sessions, 5-20 minute breaks, 1-8 pomodoros per session, and 15-30 minute long breaks. NATURE-INSPIRED TILES Every tile value has a name drawn from nature: Morning Mist, Silver Rain, Spring Water, Clear Sky, Forest Moss, Ocean Glass, Honey Light, Sunset Coral, Autumn Berry, Twilight, Golden Dawn, Cherry Blossom Colors shift from soft grays through vibrant blues and greens to warm golds and corals as you climb higher.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Planned Run at none against Numvana's 5. Planned Run also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Numvana's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
