PandaSokoban PSP

Push every cushion into place and wake the sleeping pandas.

PandaSokoban is a Sokoban puzzle game made for the PlayStation Portable. It has 200 puzzles, persistent progress, instant undo, day and night themes, and a presentation designed around the PSP screen and controls.

This is an independent homebrew release. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The garden has 200 puzzles

The rules take a minute to learn. Walk through each garden, push every cushion onto a marked goal, and avoid leaving one where the panda can no longer reach it.

The levels draw from several established Sokoban collections. They are ordered into a rising difficulty curve and were checked for solvability.

• 200 puzzles with unlock progression and a level-select grid
• Up to 200 undo steps for backing out of a bad route
• Best-move tracking for every level
• Day and night themes that switch instantly and stay selected
• Automatic Memory Stick saves for progress and settings

Built for the PSP

PandaSokoban renders at the PSP's native 480 by 272 resolution. Movement stays locked to a precise tile grid while the panda, cushions, dust, collisions, idle poses, and sleeping babies animate between positions.

• Direct PSP button controls with no nested command menus
• Double-buffered rendering and a 32 by 32 tile map
• Custom XMB icon, animated preview, garden background, and music
• Managed PSP savedata with a level-aware icon
• Runs on real PSP hardware and in PPSSPP
