Amigo Pancho

Amigo Pancho is a physics puzzle with a Wild West flavour. Pancho is stuck in a big, dangerous canyon, and your job is to help him escape. You do not move him yourself; instead you click on objects in the scene to remove them, and the physics of whatever is left decides what happens next.

The catch is that not everything can go. Some objects disappear with a click and some cannot be removed at all, so the first step on any level is working out which pieces are yours to take away. After that it becomes a question of order: remove something too early and the rest of the scene may shift in a way you did not intend.

That combination of a single simple input and consequences you have to predict is what makes this kind of game satisfying. Each click is small, but it can change the whole scene. The western setting gives the canyon some personality, and Pancho is an easy hero to root for. Take a moment before every click and think about what will fall where.

1. Look at the canyon and the position Pancho is in.
2. Find out which objects can be removed and which cannot.
3. Click objects to remove them in a careful order.
4. Watch the physics play out and help Pancho escape the canyon.

Before each click, imagine the scene without that object. If you cannot tell what would happen, look for a safer piece to remove first.
