About

Panda

Pandoku is a calm, brain-teasing logic puzzle wrapped in an adorable panda world. The rules are simple to learn but delightfully deep: • Place exactly ONE panda in every row, every column, and every color region. • No two pandas may touch - not even diagonally. • Use logic, not luck: every puzzle has one unique solution. Mark the cells that can't hold a panda, narrow down the possibilities, and snap each panda into its perfect spot. A friendly interactive tutorial teaches you everything in the very first level. FEATURES • 1000 hand-verified levels, each with a guaranteed unique solution. • A difficulty curve graded by a real logic solver - challenge that rises smoothly instead of repeating itself. • Fresh "Locked Region" & "Time Machine" mechanic: some colors stay locked until you've placed enough pandas, adding a new layer of strategy as you progress. • Helpful boosters and hints when you're stuck - the game teaches you WHY a move is wrong. • Daily Streak rewards to keep your logic sharp every day. • Satisfying haptics and gentle sounds; a relaxing garden ambience. • Play anywhere - 100% offline, no account or sign-up required. Whether you love Sudoku, Star Battle, or Queens-style logic puzzles, Pandoku gives you the same satisfying deduction with a cozy, wholesome twist. Sit back, relax, and let the pandas find their places.

About

So Close Slide

One flick. That's the whole game. Send the cup down the board and stop it as close as you can to the red line. A shy flick looks silly. A hard one flies off and scores nothing. Wood hangs on. Ice barely notices you. Boards tilt, jump, and hide bumps, gaps and blocks. You feel the surface in your finger before the score shows up. One hundred boards, from a gentle slope to ice that will not slow down. If a board is being mean, spend a guide that shows the stop, a slick push, a grip that bites early, a clear for the junk, or a retry when you almost had it. No timer yelling at you. Just you, the cup, and how close you dare to get.
