A match-3 puzzle game with unusual falling rules. Read the animal blocks, pack the board toward the lower left, and build chains.

Game rules

A different kind of match-3

Packed to the lower left

Falling animal blocks move through open spaces and collect toward the lower-left corner.

Wrap around the board

When blocks move, the animal at the far edge wraps around to the opposite side.

Match three or more

Line up three or more of the same animal vertically or horizontally to clear them.

About the game

Animal relationships shape the puzzle

Carnivore blocks can prey on herbivore blocks, so the relationships between animals also affect the board. Its falling and movement rules create a different planning rhythm from a standard match-3 game.
