More about this game
The goal is to clear all stacked pixel animal cubes from the board. You do this by tapping exposed cubes to move them into your tray at the bottom of the screen. The core loop involves finding and matching three identical animals, like cats or frogs, to clear them and free up tray space. The difficulty comes from managing your tray slots; if you fill all seven slots without making a match, the run ends. You can use limited shuffle, undo, and revive powers to help you survive longer.
Tips
- Always prioritize matching the animal cubes that are already sitting in your tray to free up valuable space before you tap new animals on the board.
- Look carefully for matches that will uncover multiple useful cubes in the layers below to keep your options open as the pixel stack shrinks.
- Save your limited undo and shuffle uses for emergency situations when your tray has six items and no visible matches remain on the board.
Questions
Why can't I select a cube?
A cube is blocked if another tile is overlapping it on a higher layer. You must clear the top tiles first to expose the ones underneath before you can tap them.
What happens if my tray fills up?
If you fill all 7 slots in your tray without making a match of three, you lose the game, unless you have a revive power available to clear some space.
How do the power-ups work?
Shuffle rearranges the remaining board tiles, undo reverts your last move, and revive clears up to 3 items from a full tray so you can keep playing and clear the board.
