- How do you catch animals?
Simply swap adjacent animals to match three or more of the same animals, and they're caught!

- How do you play against other users?
Each round, you have 30 seconds to catch as many animals as possible, and the aim is to build up your score enough to beat your opponent.
If your opponent's LIFE runs out… you win!
If you both have some LIFE left… one more round!
*If neither player wins after 5 rounds, the winner is whoever has more LIFE remaining.
If you can't win, go one more round! If the game is not won in the final five rounds, the winner will be determined by the remaining LIFE.


- Your opponent has the same animal panels as you!
In every match, you and your opponent will share the exact same animal panels. Even the new ones that fall in to replace those you've caught!
This means you have to catch those critters more efficiently than your opponent. Luck doesn't come into it! Or does it? Item panels will fall in randomly. If you're feeling lucky, victory could be yours!

- Master active chaining!
If you just sit and wait for animal panels to disappear… you're missing out!
While the animals you've caught are busy disappearing, you can be working on your next catch, and the next, and the next one after that! Chain catches together to be a true master.

Ratings and reviews

Super fun, amazing UI, seamless animations. You can collect a bunch of characters. Not necessarily pay-to-win you can grind battles and still make it to the top xxx of players and win fun characters, background, decorations. Seasonal updates, new items get added monthly. Fun challenges. Pro tip: scan the grid in a circular pattern and use your thumb. I've gotten high scores with other strategies. The more you play the better you get a feel for the game.

Pretty good but not anywhere near as good as the DS version. Mainly I was hoping for (and greatly disappointed by lack of) the different game modes, particularly Tokoton and especially Quest. I also much preferred the binoculars system from DS. They also did the typical mobile game thing of having very limited number of tries/energy before you have to wait or pay for recharge and more annoyingly, instead of 1-3 binoculars per round, they sometimes drop down like the animals, sometimes none do.

I have been playing since 2012. I am now at level 118 and it is still a fun game. I spent money a few times on things but, they are really expensive for what you get and you can just wait and grind it out for free. It's a time based game so, don't try to play for a long time. Just play for 15 minutes like 3-4 times a day when you are bored. That is the best way to earn stuff and not spend any money. Save your medals. Save up like 120+ medals then blow them all on the gotcha game. Best way!
