## What is Panda Road?

A panda walks a long road with a bamboo pole across his shoulders and a basket hanging from each end. Your job is simple: load him up, and keep him steady.

Drag crates, stone, melons and more into either basket. Where you place them matters as much as what you place - a light sack on the outer edge can outweigh an anvil near the middle. There is no timer and nothing chasing you. Take as long as you like.

Hold the pole level for a moment and a soft chime rings out, building a chain that multiplies everything you carry. Villages appear along the way; hand over what they ask for and the panda walks lighter.

The road does not stay easy. It tilts uphill, throws gusts that sway the pole, rattles the load over cobblestones, and ducks under low bridges that will scrape the top off a tower built too tall. Rain melts the ice you are carrying. Snow slows the walk. Day turns to night and back again as you go.

FEATURES

One gesture. Drag and drop, nothing else. No timers, no energy, no waiting.

Real leverage physics. Position matters as much as weight, and you will feel it.

Fourteen kinds of cargo, from anvils and balloons to a water jug that sloshes as you lean.

Gifts from villagers: rope to lash a load down, a feather to lighten it, a lantern that steadies your hand.

A daily journey. One seeded road, walked by everyone, once a day.

Named regions, changing weather, and a full day and night cycle as you travel.

Your furthest journey is marked with a flag on the road, waiting to be passed.

Failure is never sudden. The pole creaks, the needle drifts into the red, the panda's eyes go wide, and the load begins to slide long before anything falls. Every collapse traces back to something you chose.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-10-02

The Village Update.

• Commissions: villagers sometimes hand you a parcel to carry to the next village — a bundle of letters, a fragile teapot (nothing may land on it!), or a tall, tippy flower pot. Deliver it in one piece for a big bonus.
• The Daily Journey has its own leaderboard. Everyone in the world now walks the same road each day; it resets at midnight UTC.
• Every season brings its own cargo: mooncakes in autumn, firewood in winter, seed sacks in spring, and in summer a paper kite that tugs when the wind blows.
• The panda reacts: he watches what you are carrying, winces when something heavy lands, and keeps an eye on any robin that drops by.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-30

Autumn on the road.

• The road now follows the real seasons. Right now it is autumn: leaves drift across the sky and the willows have turned gold. Winter, spring and summer will each bring their own weather when they arrive.
• Mooncakes are travelling — a small, heavy festival tin that only turns up in autumn. Perfect for fine-tuning a wobbly load.
• A robin sometimes lands on your load for a rest. It weighs something, so you will feel it — but it always flies off if things get too shaky.
• A gentler welcome for new walkers: one button to begin, and a hand that shows the very first move.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-26

The Long Road.

• Every step you have ever walked now leads somewhere. Open ROAD from the home screen to see the twelve waymarks between Willow Ford and the Far Shore, and exactly where your panda stands between them.
• After each journey, the score card tells you how far it is to the next waymark.
• The panda now waits until he has something to carry before setting off.
• Fixed: the score card could announce a new best score on an ordinary journey.
• Small text on the Pack screen is easier to read.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-24

The whole road, in every journey.

• The five lands are closer together now, so a single walk crosses several of them — and every journey starts somewhere different, so no two roads feel the same.
• The Snowline and the Amber Steppe were nearly impossible to reach before. Now they turn up on ordinary walks.
• Rarer cargo — pumpkins, honey, eggs, the hen — arrives sooner, and no longer skips players who load slowly and heavily.
• The Daily Journey is still exactly the same road for everyone who plays it that day.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-21

Leaderboards arrive on the road.

• Game Center leaderboards for Best Score and Furthest Journey — tap the trophy on the home screen to see how far everyone else has carried. Your existing records are posted the first time you sign in.
• Fixed: tapping the daily gift on the home screen could turn the sound off instead of opening your gift. It now opens every time, and the sound button works as it should.
• The home menus are tidier — the balance meter no longer peeks out behind them.
