Addictive and original animal-food matching puzzle game. Mechanics are simple to grasp, deep to master. Best in versus mode, slightly repetitive solo. A good Tetris alternative for variety.

"From the very first seconds"
Dropping animals and food to pair them up just right: panda with bamboo, rabbit with carrot, the idea is crystal clear and wildly clever. Chains trigger on their own in a tasty ballet that hooks at once. In a duel, the pressure mounts fast and every well-placed combo makes the difference. A Sega puzzle as cute as it is sneaky.
