Out this week on Sony PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC is Panda Punch, a fun new retro-style puzzle platformer from Ninja Rabbit Studio and Ratalaika Games.
With a look that resembles popular mobile hack & slash platformer Apple Knight, this game requires you to solve puzzles, collect coins, and upgrade abilities from the local balcksmith. Difference this time is that you’re controlling a red panda (although to me it looks like a fox) and same the world from evil alient robots across 58 levels.
The official game description for Panda Punch:
A delightful and addictive setting.
The main character of the Panda Punch game is called Zeep. He can jump on his fist, carry boxes, barrels, push various objects and spins like Sonic! The tasks and objectives are simple but less easy to achieve in a challenging environment, with hazardous platforming and combat to traverse through. Solve puzzles on the levels, collect coins, look for super coins, pump your abilities from the blacksmith, defeat bosses, get new abilities …these are just a few of the tasks you will undertake in the 58 levels!! with traps, secrets, enemies…
Panda Punch features:
- 58 levels with traps, secrets, enemies
- Platform jumping and combat
- Classic pixel-art graphics and chiptune sound
- Defeat bosses and gain new abilities
You can catch Panda Punch on Sony PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC from Friday, 16th December for around £4.99.
