Animal Match is a simple and casual elimination game. Players can click with their mouse to eliminate animals and earn points, which can be used to unlock new levels. The game also features straightforward elimination-based puzzles.

In Animal Match, players can eliminate groups of three or more identical animals in a row. Experimenting with different combinations and utilizing special eliminations can lead to higher scores.

Apart from the beginner levels, the game includes simple puzzle modes where players can attempt to solve various challenges. With over thirty levels in total, the first ten serve as foundation levels, followed by puzzle-oriented stages. If those become too familiar, the final level, featuring a randomized starting layout, offers a fresh challenge.

There is no time limit in the game, but each unlocked level has a specific score requirement. To progress to new levels, strive for high scores!
