Nice Game
OK, I've just finished the game and thought I'd give you a little feedback. The game itself, nice idea. The whole 'poor panda' routine is a good one, needs no plot or justification more than it has.
The 3D is a nice touch but the movement of the panda felt wrong. I died so many times because I thought I was past a corner when I actually got stuck in it and got killed. It was extremely frustrating when going for a high score. The fruit was hard to see also because of the not quite overhead view. It may have been on purpose but the fruit would have more of an impact if bigger.
The music got annoying after a while. The mute was nice to have, not enough games include one. I feel a slower more pleasant soundtrack would have suited it, kind of like a small town/village background from an RPG. Something you can listen to that is cheery but doesn't overwhelm.
A nice variety of puzzles, and a cute concept. I shall give you 4/5 and 7/10.
For a sequel, improve the panda model, the music and the movement. Keep up the Cute and the imaginative puzzles and you'll likely earn yourself a 5/5.
Nice Job!

thanks for the genuinely informative and useful feedback (it's quite a rare thing.)
There are lots of things I intend to do for the sequel, and improving the models is one of them and adding some different NPCs. I think also, you are right, it would be interesting to change the music between levels so it isn't so repetative.
And also I know th fruit is hard to see on some levels, the collectable fruit was a late addition and it kind of shows in some places, need to think how to keep the camera angle the same as it is now but also make sure everything is viewable for the next game.
I'm very pleased that you managed to finish it though :) Did you find the hidden pac-man level?

Kinda weird >.<
The art for the panda looks like a model made in 3ds max, which is nice, but it's not exactly animated well...But other than that, it seems like a fun, neat distraction (although intended for younger players.)
Work a little more on your animations, and you should be golden ^.^
Eh, it was okay.
It was nothing spectacular, but it was clean-cut and it kept my attention long enough. Maybe some more in-depth graphics next time and different songs for the levels would help.
Otherwise, it's about average.
