Swap cute animals, make lines of three and climb the levels.
About Animal Match 3
A free match-3 puzzle with cute animals. Swap two neighbouring animals to line up three or more of a kind and clear them. Match four for a striped piece that clears a whole row or column, five for a rainbow that wipes out a colour, and an L or T shape for a bomb. Chain cascades for big combos, hit each level's points goal before you run out of moves, and see how far you can climb.
How to play Animal Match 3
- Swipe a animal toward a neighbour, or tap two neighbours, to swap them.
- A swap must make a line of three or more of the same kind, or it slides back.
- Match four for a striped piece, five in a row for a rainbow, an L or T for a bomb.
- Reach the level's points goal before your 20 moves run out to move up a level.
Tips and strategy
- Work near the bottom: new pieces fall in from the top and can set off free cascades.
- Swap two special pieces into each other for a huge combo.
- A rainbow swapped with a striped piece turns every piece of that colour striped.
- Leftover moves become bonus points when you clear a level early.
