Let me know when someone finds the pandas, cause I don't see any yet. No the girl doesn't count.

But her name's Amanda Panda. It's twee as fuck!

[Egarwaen]

That was awesome.

I finally got Joy2Key to work and I beat it. It's short and sweet but I loved everything about it except for the sprite in level 3 that looks exactly like a sprite from SMB3. Other than that I just wish it was longer.

Did you press D on the title screen?

Also, what sprite is that? I didn't notice it.

[Balrog]

No, I didn't press D but I just tried it. Time for round 2!

There's a tile that looks exactly like the tiles on the bottom here:


Also, what is this in the .ini file?

SecretInvincibleCode = Hemlig
SecretSkipLevelCode = Hemlig
SecretNeverLoseLivesCode = Hemlig

"Hemlig" means secret. Looks like some kind of joke.

[Dynastic Bird]

Really well done! Too bad I'm having issues with the, shall we say, "D" thing after level 1. Dear lord.

Where is everyone? This is a really good game!

[Healy]

I just played this! Good fun! I'm not sure if I'm going to bother beating the game through the D challenge, though.

It's a cute emo girl vs the citizens of guido beach. I love it.

It's weird to me that you were bothered by that, but didn't notice the floor on level two.

Edit: It was supposed to be an edit, not a second post. Noooooooooooooo!

[Beat]

I just beat the normal game. It was fun!

Now to take on the D challenge!

EDIT: Or not because that's just crazy.

Kind of, but it's set in real locations in Stockholm. For instance, here's a photo taken inside level 2:



And some random person standing outside level 3:



Also, some cultural background.

Thank you, the game is even better when I have some context to place in it. The locations are different, but the spirit is similar. Is the name Pandaland a reference to something as well?

I think panda is a slang term for girls with the same kind of fashion sense as the main character, presumably because of their tendency to wear black and white.

Yeah, well, 8 bit checkerboard floors are gonna look similar no matter what you do.

I really like the music in this game. It's a nice mix between old NES music and twee pop.

[MCBanjoMike]

Oh man, this game is so darn cute. And the music is fantastic!

[ShakeWell]

This game was awesome! I just wish it was a little longer, and up wasn't jump. Other than that, 2 thumbs up, would play again!
