Cute Animals is a free puzzle game you can play right here in your browser. Think match 3 and animals — that is the shape of it. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.

About Cute Animals

Tap and drag items and match 3 or more items to blast them. The faster you reach the goal, the more points you receive. Use the special rewards that appear to blast items away faster. As you move through the various levels you’ll have fun as you hear the satisfying pop of items with all the cute animals you can expect.

How to play Cute Animals

The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. Landscape layout: give it the fullscreen button on desktop, or rotate your phone. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.

Why it is worth playing
