Sort the pandas by color and watch them come to life! Panda Sort - Puzzle Game puts a playful twist on the classic color sorting puzzle. Instead of sorting water or balls, you’ll move colorful pandas from tube to tube until every tube is filled with pandas of the same color. But these pandas don’t just move—they jump, flip, punch, and celebrate! Complete a tube to see a fun panda action. Clear the entire puzzle and enjoy a variety of dynamic celebration moves selected at random. How to Play 1. Tap a tube to select the top panda. 2. Tap another tube to move the panda there. 3. You can move a panda only if the target tube has space and is empty or has a panda of the same color on top. 4. Sort all the pandas by color to complete the level. 5. If you want to restart the puzzle, tap the HOME button. Simple to learn, fun to master, and full of lively panda action. How far can you go? Start sorting and let the pandas celebrate!
