Pandaemic

TLDR:

You have to get as many pandas as possible.

To do that, you’ll need to design the most effective panda enclosure.

You can build huts, sources of food and water, and even toys to make them happy.

Work fast before the time limit ends! 

…and beware THE RABBITS!

Story:

You were chosen as a manager of the new “Utrecht panda breeding center”. Pandas are dying out and you are the last hope of saving their species. The Chinese government has lent you two of their pandas, but you’ve got only limited time to show them your abilities in panda husbandry. To make things worse, your grant request was denied, so you will have to secure funds some other way…

The pandas want to make babies only when they are well taken care of. Give them food, water and maybe even provide them with some toys. To pay for those, you will have to sell some of your pandas to private ZOOs. The happiest pandas are the most prolific in their litter size, but also very well financially evaluated if you sell them. Just remember that the point is to have more pandas, not money.

Beware the evil rabbits! They will infiltrate your panda pen and try to take it over. The pandas can’t compete with them. You will have to use some dirty tactics to stop their plans. Explode their burrows and smash the vermin with your trusty mallet. Don’t let them destroy your beautiful panda sanctuary!
