If you've ever unwittingly come upon ninjas while shooting picturesque photos on vacation, only to have your camera stolen because you may have inadvertently taken a photo or two of said ninjas, then you can relate to the plight of 3 Pandas in Japan, a charming point-and-click puzzle game by FlashTeam. And despite the unwritten rule that you should never ever try to take on a ninja, the panda friends are determined to get their camera back by working together to figure out what order to click things in order to reach the exit on each screen.
Click to make the pandas walk, and watch for clues on the screen indicating places where they can climb or jump. Each panda has a unique ability which may be used to help the group advance in the level. When you click an individual panda to access this ability, a bubble will appear over its head. This mechanic is a little clunky, and while it's fun to figure out puzzles this way, I wanted to be even more integrated into the gameplay. What 3 Pandas lacks in difficulty it more than makes up for in way of cuteness. The pandas are just plain adorable, and the fact that they want to help everyone they meet despite being on a mission to get their camera back makes them all the more endearing. The addition of some mini games is a nice way to mix things up. The artwork just pops with color and that along with the fun characters you meet along the way give the game great personality. So if you've ever wondering if a pack of pandas can take on a pack of ninjas, look no further.
This game is really bad, huge lag problems and had many bugs and glitches were characters would phase through objects and some how the small panda multiplied. Extremely disappointed.
I cannot get them to swing far enough to escape. I've looked at the walkthrough and it is clicked 3 or 4 times and they land in the water, Try as I might I cannot get this to happen!!
@Westside gamer, I'm sorry you had issues! I personally didn't experience anything like that.
@Carol, which level are you referring to?
Really cute Pandas, but clunky controls.
the very beginning! I've always enjoyed the 3 Pandas games before but I can't even start this one.
Yeah, that took me a minute, you just have to click the net several times quickly as it's swinging.
Yes, Bob's right. Just keep clicking the net as fast as you can.
I love the 3 Pandas games and this one was no exception! This wasn't a difficult game, just basic logic and a lot of clicking. The only thing I will say I didn't love is
the furious amount of clicking needed to defeat the ninjas and the boss samurai in the final scene. I felt like my wrists were about to fall off, lol.
Yay! that worked. Thanks Bob and Kimberly. I was trying to click with the swing not just click, click, click. Finished now and no other troubles with the controls. Gotta be fast to beat the Ninjas though!
Some of the levels were fun, but the game is almost ruined by the two shooting levels.
