Transport Puzzle

A Transport Puzzle is a type of puzzle that is commonly found in flash games. In the strict definition of transport puzzles (found on wikipedia), the goal is to move yourself or other tokens from one part of the puzzle board to another. No piece is ever lost or added to the board and pieces can’t be lifted from the board and placed in a new location.

I’m posting this today, because I found a new transport puzzle called Silversphere on FreeGamesNews. But a number of other cames that I’ve posted about here fall under the category of transport puzzles. Cubeoban is certainly a transport puzzle and Sling probably counts too. CuberXtreme seems to be what the Wikipedia article calls an Elimination Puzzle. Orbox B is probably a transport puzzle. Even though some objects are destroyed and cleared, the object is to move from one place to another. Mindfields 2204 is very much like a transport puzzle but tokens are placed on the field, which I think would preclude it from the category in the strictest sense.
