Taqoban Xbox

Those pesky pandas will do almost anything for a bit of bamboo. Who are we to judge though, when it is pretty much the only thing they can eat? And their latest predicament sees them doing just that to get their paws on some bamboo. Find out what in Taqoban, out now on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.

The pandas in Taqoban are called Tao and Xiang, and they’ve got themselves stuck in the middle of some weird contraptions. Part puzzle platformer, part sliding puzzle, you have to have the duo get the required boxes to the right places within the puzzle. Efficiency is also key though; get them there as quick as possible to score maximum bamboo. Rumour has it there may even be golden bamboo on offer. Not sure how tasty that is compared to regular bamboo, but worth a try surely?

Taqoban also features:

  • Slide mechanic.
  • Two cute pandas to choose from.
  • Reset and undo functions (never get stuck).
  • More than 50 levels.
  • Various sizes of levels with increasing difficulty.
  • 12 cooperative levels (2 players).
  • 3D rendered graphics.

Grab a friend/panda partner and take part in Taqobans co-op mode. 12 new levels will be playable as a duo because, as the old saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved.

Did we mention that Taqoban is the latest port from Ratalaika Games? And you know what that means, easy bamboo! I mean, easy achievements!

Taqoban is available to download now priced at ÂŁ4.99 on the Xbox Store. There is a discount if you are quick, dropping the price down to ÂŁ3.99. And stay tuned for our review coming soon.

Game description

Play as Tao or Xiang, two pandas, and help them organize their boxes as efficiently as possible to earn a maximum of bamboos! You’ll need a lot of thinking skills in this mix of sliding game and classic puzzle platformer, to solve the levels of increasing difficulty. Also, with 12 cooperative levels to play with a friend. Slide parts of the level to create new paths for your panda and get the box to its place. But be careful with the number of movements, you can obtain the precious golden bamboo or make your little panda cry.
