About this game

Animals are breaking out of the zoo. You're the only zookeeper who can stop them.

Animal Escape is a tower defense card game where scheming animals plot escape after escape, and you place security cards on a tactical grid to defend the gate. Tranquilizer turrets, banana peel traps, net launchers, zookeeper patrols — build your deck, place cards, and discover combos that turn back wave after wave of escaping animals. Every level is fast. Every placement matters. The animals always have a new trick.

If you love tower defense games, deck builders, and strategy card games, Animal Escape combines all three into something fresh — and a little ridiculous.


PLACE CARDS. BUILD COMBOS. STOP THE BREAKOUT.

Draw cards each wave. Place towers, traps, staff buildings, and upgrades on the grid. Watch your defenses spring into action as waves of animals charge toward the exit.

Adjacency combos amplify everything — drop a Security Camera next to a Zookeeper Patrol for x-ray vision, place a Banana Peel beside a Net Launcher for double stun. The deeper you go, the wilder the combos you discover. This is a tower defense deck builder where strategy comes from smart card placement, not just raw stats.


EXPLORE THEMED ZOO WORLDS

Progress through a colorful world map from the Primate House to the Aviary to the Reptile Den and beyond. Each zoo world is themed around an animal faction with its own escape tactics:

- Monkeys hurl allies over your defenses
- Chameleons turn invisible and slip past towers
- Eagles dive-bomb from above, ignoring ground traps
- Reptiles poison your staff on contact
- Boss animals with massive HP and devastating abilities

Each world ends with a boss fight. Beat the boss to unlock the next zoo section. Replay levels with different departments to chase 3-star mastery and unlock new cards.


BUILD YOUR DEPARTMENT LOADOUT

Choose from 4 zookeeper departments, each with a unique deck and playstyle:

- Physical Security: barriers, guards, and brute force
- Technology: drones, cameras, lasers, and electronic traps
- Pest Control: venom traps, lures, and exterminators
- Facilities: calming auras, healing staff, and adjacency upgrades

Mix department cards with neutral flex picks to build your perfect tower defense deck. Upgrade department perks for powerful passive bonuses. No two loadouts play the same.


QUICK LEVELS, DEEP STRATEGY

Levels take 2-5 minutes — perfect for a commute, a coffee break, or "just one more level" at midnight. But the card strategy and combo discovery keep you theorycrafting between sessions. This is a casual tower defense game with real strategic depth.
