The pandas are cute! the difficulty ramps up really fast! I couldn't manage the third level. But then I suck at most games lol.

this game is amazing. Managed to beat it. The portal level was the most difficult due to the time limit, when I finally made it it was like milliseconds before the timer ran out.

So much fun :D like the old lemmings game on steroids

I liked this game and was rather easy to guess what to do. Level 4 was complete before I knew what was going on... level 5 was very tricky - not sure what the exact solution was but I got past it somehow.

To be honest the game's graphics didn't look promising, but boy was I wrong once I understood what I had to do. Probably the most fun I had so far for all the games I played :D

And @Frib, this is how you solve the portal level:

Really enjoyed this one! The pandas with the headbands were pretty charming. I think with some additional obstacle mechanics, levels, and some visual polish it'd make a great mobile game! My only critiques are that one of the levels you win without having to place anything, and maybe having some set-up time before the pandas spawn. Great job though, really fun!

hehe this was fun - it got pretty hard! i think maybe the camera perspective on some of the levels made it sort of hard to know what was going on

It cute and fun to watch pandas dashing around. Reminds me of Where's My Water.

Really cute game. I liked all the unique obstacles you could place. Most of the difficulty was because of the limited time to set up at the start.

Challenging and intriguing game! A clever and bemusing concept that descended into carnage - this was a soul provoking game, you should be proud of yourselves.

Good use of assets and you managed to do many levels. It was quite comical to se all the pandas run. Good game! Good job!

great game! even with the limited graphics it was a joy to play. I think this could have been to the next level with less levels and more focus on polishing details like audio and game feel. great game nonetheless!
