Ocean Crash is a free puzzle game you can play right here in your browser. Think match 3, animals and block & tetris-like — that is the shape of it. No account, no install and no plugins — just the game in a browser tab.
About Ocean Crash
The goal of the game is to prevent the filling of the grid as long as possible. The user must direct some three-piece blocks in the grid in order to match 3 or more animals of the same type. The game ends when blocks fill completely all grid rows.
How to play Ocean Crash
There is very little to learn before your first run. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.
