is a puzzle game about shooting bubbles to the top of the screen and popping them to get to save Pandas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panda Pop is one of the first Android games I ever played. When I had an <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shield_Tablet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nvidia Shield tablet<\/a>, I played the game often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have not played Panda Pop in a long time until very recently for this review, though. For this review, I played the game on my current Android smartphone. At the time of this review, I was on level 123.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- WP-Appbox (Version: 4.4.18 \/\/ Store: googleplay \/\/ ID: com.sgn.pandapop.gp) -->\n<div class=\"wpappbox wpappbox-c0e59326579d161b46f647e54fae1a9b googleplay colorful simple\">\n\t<div class=\"qrcode\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/cache\/wp-appbox\/c0e59326579d161b46f647e54fae1a9b\/qr-a9cb820659cb23ed01e9d962259d32b6\" alt=\"Bubble Shooter: Panda Pop!\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"appicon\">\n\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.sgn.pandapop.gp\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/cache\/wp-appbox\/c0e59326579d161b46f647e54fae1a9b\/ai-5fa13a0acf9b96c9f5394cf1502be833\" alt=\"Bubble Shooter: Panda Pop!\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"applinks\">\n\t\t<div class=\"appbuttons\">\n\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.sgn.pandapop.gp\">Download<\/a>\n\t\t\t<span onMouseOver=\"jQuery('.wpappbox-c0e59326579d161b46f647e54fae1a9b .qrcode').show();\" onMouseOut=\"jQuery('.wpappbox-c0e59326579d161b46f647e54fae1a9b .qrcode').hide();\">QR-Code<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"appdetails\">\n\t\t<div class=\"apptitle\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.sgn.pandapop.gp\" title=\"Bubble Shooter: Panda Pop!\" class=\"apptitle\">Bubble Shooter: Panda Pop!<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"developer\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"label\">Developer: <\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"value\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/dev?id=5509190841173705883\"><span>Jam City, Inc.<\/span><\/a><\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"price\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"label\">Price: <\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"value\">Free<\/span> \n\t\t\t<span class=\"rating\"><\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><!-- \/WP-Appbox -->\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gameplay_Review\"><\/span>Gameplay\nReview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Game_Is_Fun_to_Play\"><\/span>The\nGame Is Fun to Play<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a bubble shooter, Panda Pop is pretty fun. There is nothing odd or weird about the controls, and popping many bubbles is very fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aiming_Can_Feel_Hard_Sometimes\"><\/span>Aiming\nCan Feel Hard Sometimes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a bad time aiming, there is an aim assist booster you can use at the start of the levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This booster makes some levels way easier, and I use it often to practice my aim often. Sometimes getting some very exact shots can be quite hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Goal_of_Panda_Pop\"><\/span>The Goal of Panda Pop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For more levels, the goal is to get close to the top and to save baby Pandas. You do this by popping the bubbles near them, so they fall to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you progress in the game, there will be more obstacles and things put in place to make this goal harder.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"919\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_level_113_start_screen-919x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Panda Pop level start screen.\" class=\"wp-image-1917\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_level_113_start_screen-919x1024.jpg 919w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_level_113_start_screen-269x300.jpg 269w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_level_113_start_screen-768x855.jpg 768w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_level_113_start_screen.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 919px) 100vw, 919px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot of <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.sgn.pandapop.gp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Panda Pop<\/a> Android game.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Would_Be_Nice_If_There_Was_Multiple_Level_Goals\"><\/span>It\nWould Be Nice If There Was Multiple Level Goals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I like how other bubble shooter games like Angry Birds Pop has multiple level goals. Saving Pandas can get a bit stale after doing it over 100 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Can_Create_Powerups\"><\/span>You\nCan Create Powerups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main mechanics of the game is that you can create powerups. You make these powerups by popping bubbles of a certain color. This is very fun and one of the main reasons why I like the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can combine these powerups for different effects depending on what ones you combine. If you combine all of them at once, you get a huge screen clear that pops many bubbles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding when to use the powerups and if you want to save them to combine them is a big part of the strategy in beating levels in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_of_the_Levels_Are_Hard\"><\/span>Some\nof the Levels Are Hard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the levels in Panda Pop are quite hard. You need to plan a lot and make some tricky shots sometimes to get closer to the top of the screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t want to play easy games only as there would be no challenge. I also get frustrated at difficult levels. I get annoyed when it takes many times to beat levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Game_Has_Nice_Events\"><\/span>The\nGame Has Nice Events<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The game has some events. To be honest, I tapped past this stuff. I was not interested in this time, but I suppose though they were nice. I did get some free extra lives and such.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_world_map-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Panda Pop world map.\" class=\"wp-image-1920\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_world_map-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_world_map-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_world_map-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_world_map.jpg 1436w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot of <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.sgn.pandapop.gp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Panda Pop<\/a> Android game.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Presentation_Review\"><\/span>Presentation\nReview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Are_a_Mommy_Panda\"><\/span>You\nAre a Mommy Panda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You are a Mommy Panda trying to save her children. At least that is what the game leads to you believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Issue_With_Saving_Panda_Cubs_as_the_Main_Goal\"><\/span>My Issue With Saving Panda Cubs as the Main Goal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First off, this makes no sense. No one Panda can have this many children. There are thousands of levels in this game, and you save hundreds of Pandas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could assume that we are saving the same group of Panda cubs many times. But then that makes you wonder how good a mother she is if her cubs keep getting kidnapped thousands of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only thing that makes sense is you are saving Panda cubs kidnapped from multiple Panda families. But the game doesn&#8217;t seem to be set up for this to be the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why having the goal be to save the Pandas looks silly. I feel as if there could have been a more logical goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe have the evil monkey steal their favorite toys, and you need to keep on getting them back. Maybe you need to get them their favorite snack, or they have a huge tantrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Juice Jam, one of the level goals is to give a mother Penguin some ice pops so her children don\u2019t cry. This is another game made by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamcity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jam City<\/a> ironically enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So they do know how to make a goal be around children but not be based on saving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This goal also makes you feel bad if you fail to save the Pandas! You run out of bubbles, and now what?! It seems out of place in such a cute game. I guess they float away now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Game_Looks_Nice\"><\/span>The\nGame Looks Nice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The game has a fun and cute art style. I like how the game looks. I personalty like the 2D style as it looks better even with simple artwork. I like the vibrant colors the game has.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"642\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/panda_pop_level_113-642x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Panda Pop level 113.

I never felt like I could beat a level with enough tries and free stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_This_Game_Annoy_You\"><\/span>How Does This Game Annoy You?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Game_Trolls_You_with_Bubbles\"><\/span>The Game Trolls You with Bubbles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This game has what I am calling the wrong color issue. This issue is mostly found in bubble shooter games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need a yellow bubble to pop an important bubble that will start a cascade that will get you closer to the top of the level. So the game gives you five bubbles of any color but the one you need.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This happens somewhat frequently in this game. It stings when you get the top of a level, and you need a certain color to save the last Panda, and the game gives you a different color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is some strategy you can use to avoid this, but this random chance of getting trolled is very annoying. I think going with a complete random bubble draw chance is unfair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the draw chance should be slightly more weighted towards the bubbles you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Game_Shows_Many_Popups\"><\/span>The Game Shows Many Popups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This game also has what I call too much information spam. When you launch the game, it hits you with like three or four popups about things in the game and other games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this information is nice, I don\u2019t need it shoved into my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Life_Timers_in_Games_Are_Annoying\"><\/span>Life Timers in Games Are Annoying<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t care what any game developer says. You are never going to convince me that waiting for an artificially created issue to be resolved is a good thing.

It is held down by the free to play business model. But if you can overlook that, things are fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_Recommend_Panda_Pop\"><\/span>Do I Recommend Panda Pop?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy bubble shooter games and to want to play many of them, Panda Pop is a good choice. I think there are better bubble shooters out there, though. Panda Pop would not be my first pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_I_Play_Panda_Pop_After_Reviewing_It\"><\/span>Will I Play Panda Pop After Reviewing It?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I honestly forgot about the game because I have not played in a long time.
