World and Mission

Panko maps thirty fixed forest-gate puzzles arranged in three chapters of ten. Each block starts on a set grid, and every authored layout has a solution.

Blocks never rotate, jump, or leave the board. The challenge is deciding which temporary moves create room for the decisive final slide.

How the Systems Work

Horizontal blocks move only left and right; vertical blocks move only up and down.

A move stops before the board edge or another block. Occupied cells cannot overlap.

Clear the marked exit lane for the green bamboo block with the gold arrow to finish the stage.

Undo restores one slide, Hint identifies a useful block, and Restart restores the exact opening layout.

How to Play

  1. Choose an unlocked trail.
  2. Identify every block crossing the green bamboo block's exit row.
  3. Move those blockers only after creating space along their legal axis.
  4. Slide the green bamboo block through the exit and continue to the next trail.

Strategy Tips

  • Work backward from the exit lane.
  • Move a blocker farther than seems necessary when it must make room for another block.
  • Avoid filling the only open column with a block needed later.
  • Use Undo for a recent positioning error and Restart when the whole order is wrong.

Campaign and Difficulty Growth

Early trails teach axis limits and single blockers. Later chapters use longer pieces, narrow buffers, nested dependencies, multiple crossings, and dense finale boards.

Every stage changes the spatial sequence without adding arbitrary movement rules.

Developer Design Note

The drag direction, grid snapping, collision test, and block artwork use the same cell geometry on touch, mouse, and keyboard input. The complete interface uses one centered logical layout with a 920-pixel maximum. Phone, landscape, and desktop views scale the same controls, hit areas, artwork, and game coordinates together instead of stretching individual pieces. Touch, mouse, and keyboard therefore act on the same legal state. The Main poster and Start Game action remain separate from Stage management, while Stage selection, Battle, dialogs, and Result keep their own bounded content and return path.

Parent Note

There is no timer, account, purchase, or public score. Unlocks and local best move counts stay in this browser. You can play without creating an account. Progress is saved in local browser storage on the current browser profile, not in an online account or cross-device database. Clearing site data, using private browsing, changing browsers, or moving to another device can create a separate save or remove the existing one. Language, sound, and reduced-motion preferences follow the shared WeightPlay controls when the browser permits storage. No guide result is a medical, school, or professional assessment.

FAQ

Can blocks rotate?
No, each block keeps its original orientation.
Why did a drag stop?
The next cell was occupied or outside the board.
Which block must exit?
The green bamboo block marked with a gold arrow.
Are all thirty trails solvable?
Yes, each authored layout has a verified solution.
Which controls and screen sizes are supported?
The same rules support touch, mouse, and keyboard where the game uses those inputs. The interface scales as one logical layout across the required phone, landscape, and desktop viewports.
Can progress move automatically to another device?
No. This game currently saves to local browser storage only, so another browser profile or device begins with its own separate local progress unless a future account system is added.
