More about this game
Panda Dash is a platformer where you guide a panda through 20 levels across five worlds, including the Bamboo Forest and Ice Land. Your goal is to reach the flag at the end of each stage. Along the way, you encounter enemies like beetles, jumping frogs, and sliding penguins. Defeat them by jumping on their heads or throwing mangoes. Collect coins, crystals for six seconds of invisibility, and stars for invincibility. Every fourth level features a boss fight. If you lose all three hearts, your run ends.
Tips
- You can double jump by pressing the jump button again in mid-air, which gives you a fresh boost to cross wide gaps or dodge enemies.
- Grab blue crystals to become invisible for 6 seconds, allowing you to pass safely through enemies, or find stars for 5 seconds of invincibility.
- During the final Evil Eye boss fight, wait for it to drop six bombs. Grab the dud bomb that does not explode and throw it back.
Questions
How do I defeat the bosses?
Most bosses, like the Eagle King or Frost Snowman, take damage when you stomp on them or hit them with mangoes or fireballs. The Evil Eye boss requires you to throw its dud bombs back at it.
What do the different power-ups do?
Stars grant you invincibility for 5 seconds, allowing you to defeat enemies by touching them. Fireballs give you 10 bouncing shots, and mangoes add 3 to your throwing ammo.
How does the scoring system work?
You earn 10 points for coins, 100 points for stomping enemies, and 150 points for defeating them with a thrown item. Defeating a boss awards 2000 points, and finishing a level gives a bonus.
