Fun Interactive Physics Puzzle Game - Amigo Pancho
Arriba Amigo! Prepare to pit your problem-solving wits against a pulsating, physics-based puzzle game where careful observation, good decision-making, and expert timing are the order of the day! Amigo Pancho is a fun, Wild West-themed, mouse-clicking puzzle activity where you must use logical thinking and problem-solving skills to help ‘Pancho’ escape a deep canyon. The friendly-yet-hapless Mexican adventurer has tumbled to the bottom of a large chasm, and only has two helium-filled balloons and the law of gravity to his advantage. You play the role of the interactive ‘game changing engineer’, and must carefully and tactfully remove or alter the position of obstacles and dangerous objects so that Pancho can float "safely" to the top, and out of each level.
Any players expecting a leisurely float to freedom here are in for quite a surprise! Who would have thought that a natural rock landscape could contain so many bizarre balloon popping objects? Be prepared for spiky cacti, rock firing lizards, sharp pitchforks, barbed-wire fences, gnashing bats, and other treacherous obstacles that are out to pop Pancho’s balloons, and send him down to the abyss. Trial and error is extremely important as you try to figure out the optimum set of objects to remove or alter so that Pancho floats upward without hindrance. A tactful, subtle approach is the key to success here – and a shoot from the hip ‘gung-ho’ style of problem-solving is sure to end in poor Pancho remaining in the perilous canyon forever! Tread carefully! Happy problem busting!
How to Play: In each of the 25 progressively difficult levels, your goal is to methodically clear a pathway so that Pancho’s helium-filled balloons carry him upward to freedom at the top of the game screen. You cannot directly control Pancho’s movements – rather you must create a sequence of actions and events that ultimately let the helium balloons lift Pancho to safety.
Some of the objects on in each level are removable (mostly the wooden blocks and levers). Simply click on one of these objects to remove it instantly from the game area (If an object lights up with a bright white outline when you hover your mouse over it, then it is selectable for removal). As you progress, the path to the top of the level is littered with an increasing number of challenging obstacles. These obstacles and creatures all attempt to burst Pancho’s balloons, thus forcing him to fall toward the bottom of the canyon to remain there for ever. Your job is to deflect and direct these spiky objects away from the delicate balloons. If Pancho disappears out of the bottom of the play zone, you must restart the level. Enjoy the quirky action!
