Fans of puzzle adventures like Lumino City and Monument Valley will find a great new way to spend time in Pan-Pan.
Adventure on a mysterious planet
Pan-Pan is immediately appealing thanks to its visual style. It is reminiscent of Monument Valley thanks to the soft color tones, simple cartoon style and the isometric camera. While playing, it turns out that Pan-Pan does show its own face, thanks to the open world and puzzles that come into their own on the iPhone touchscreen.
The game tells a story about a spaceship that crashes into a mysterious planet. The intention is that you repair the ship so that you can return to your home. The game has no levels, you can go wherever you want. Pan-Pan invites you to discover, after which the world continues to unfold. As a player you constantly discover new areas and puzzles that go with it. It has pros and cons. You are not taken by the hand and sometimes you have to search, but it also gives you a lot of freedom. That can be a bit frustrating at times.
Made for the touchscreen
The operation in Pan-Pan is simple. You tap the screen to make the main character walk. Tapping is also enough to interact with all kinds of things in the world, such as switches and characters you encounter. By swiping your finger horizontally, you rotate the camera and zoom in and out by pinching.
Download Pan-Pan on iOS
Pan-Pan is a nice game with smooth animations and a pleasant soundtrack. It’s nice to walk around the world of this game, but a slightly better directed direction would not have been out of place for Pan-Pan. If you plan to spend $ 3.99 for the game, keep in mind that you need to have the patience to get lost every now and then.
