    The world’s panda population is in decline, and your help is needed! Assist the lovestruck Yang Guang (male panda) to meet with his dream partner Tian Tian (female panda), in this highly innovative puzzle game. With a unique gameplay mechanic, a wide variety of levels, and beautiful High Definition graphics, Land-a Panda is one App Store title you won’t want to miss!

    ACTION PACKED
    Land-a Panda combines fast action based gameplay with puzzle mechanics, and a simple and intuitive touch control system. Launching Yang Guang from a cannon is as simple as tapping on it, although as you progress more complex objects are introduced, making your timing and planning ever more crucial.

    LOVE IS IN THE AIR
    Unfortunately it’s not quite as simple as getting Yang Guang to meet with Tian Tian. If you don’t collect any of the golden love coins on your way, Tian Tian will not be impressed! To get maximum points (and love!) you must collect all three golden coins in each level, while avoiding a variety of enemies and obstacles along the way.

    TIMING IS EVERYTHING!
    Reaching Tian Tian will not always be easy, with a multitude of different cannons and obstacles to traverse Yang Guang through in order to reach his soul mate. From moving and rotating cannons, to teleports and spooky ghosts to avoid, you’ll need to master a number of skills to impress this fine lady.

    STUNNING HD GRAPHICS
    Yang Guang will travel through a number of different worlds, each of which is presented in bright and colourful High Definition Retina graphics. Easy to learn but difficult to master, can you collect all the golden coins and win the heart of the gorgeous Tian Tian?

    Meow Meow Happy Fight is essential, that is one of the best dual stick shooters out there despite the oddball antics. There's a great frantic pace and although the levels are areana based a good about a variety.

    Totally agree... And Land-A-Panda is a great little action puzzler.... Not to mention Piyo Blocks being a must own match 3 title...

    Dunno if Piyo Blocks 2 HD will go free, since for some reason, it's published my Chillingo while the SD version is published by Big Pixel...

    Cannot agree more. I love this game. One of the best deathmatches out there (and a dual stick to boot)!
     
  13. Wow, this is much better than I thought. Was just expecting a slow paced kids game, but dang, it is pretty hard! And the graphics are great. Well worth the download!
