Panda Craze - Level 23

So I saw that someone reached my blog thru Google search results looking for hints on Level 23 for Panda Craze. Someone else got stuck too! Now I don't feel like a dumbass!

(Skip this post if you don't play Panda Craze.)

I was stuck on that damn level for DAYS, trying to figure out the sequence of blowing up dirt piles while trying to avoid that stupid zookeeper... and FINALLY I figured it out! So, I will try to explain it here:

What NOT to do:
Don't even bother trying to blow up all the dirt in the two different piles and hop on the carpet, expecting to make it to the ladder on the far side of the screen all in one fell swoop - your panda will croak because either the zookeeper gets in the way or the dirt reappears, thereby trapping you. (I tried this OVER AND OVER again, and you just don't have enough time.)

What you SHOULD do:
The key here is moving the carpet from that first dirt formation on the left to the second dirt formation on the right - it will be trapped there when the dirt reappears. This gives you the time you need to trap/blowup the zookeeper again and blow up the right side of the right dirt hunk to hop down onto the carpet and ride over to the ladder.

Here are step by step instructions:
  1. Blow up the zookeeper, grab the lantern and bombs when you go down the ladder.
  2. Run over and get the other lantern on the left (and pick up two more bombs), then dig a hole and trap the zookeeper and stand on his head til he dies.
  3. Blow up the far right corner of the left dirt mound and the far left corner of the right dirt mound. The carpet will move to the right dirt mound.
  4. After the dirt reappears and you trap the zookeeper again, blow up the far right corner of the right dirt mound while you hang from the vines on the right.
  5. Hop down onto the carpet when it floats under you (DON'T MISS and DON'T FALL OFF) and ride it all the way over to the ladder.
  6. Climb the ladder, dig your way down and collect the rest of the lanterns. The gate appears at the top of where those lanterns are.
  7. Climb the ladder again, dig left and hop down into the gate.

Voila! Level 24 and 25 aren't that difficult. 25 is the last level.

Have fun and good luck!
