Strategy games
Four tested strategy games turn planning into different objects: shot angles, a construction yard, counted bear groups, and one precisely targeted hook.

Four planning surfaces
Balls: Ricochet! changed from score 0 to 1 after a straight shot while the original 2 block stayed and a new 1 block arrived. Catch the Bear presented two groups of four and two matching four-space targets under a five-minute clock.
Build a Rollercoaster started with 75 coins and a direction to the block shop. Hook Pin Jam reduced the opening to one purple hook, but our center click did not remove it, making precise targeting the first unresolved decision.
Scope of this shelf
The linked pages do not pretend these games were tested to equal depth. Balls produced a measurable result, Catch the Bear changed its selected block, Rollercoaster reached the yard, and Hook Pin Jam preserved an unsuccessful input.
Choose by the object you want to plan around: trajectory, capacity, money and movement, or a single gesture target.
