A line-up of animals, and one thing to do: tap two that match. They fly off to their pens, a little truck rattles in with the next two, and every round ends in fireworks.
Free to play · iPhone & iPad · Landscape · iOS 17+
No tutorial, no rules screen, nothing to read. The game shows you what to do by doing it.
Spot a pair in the line-up and tap them both. Off they fly, and a delivery truck drops two new animals into the gaps.
Every round names the animals it wants. Match enough of each and the round breaks open — streaks, bonuses and a score that counts itself up.
No pair on the board? Send one animal away on the transfer truck. It costs a can of fuel, and when the cans run dry, the run is over.
There's exactly one thing to do, and a child who can't read yet can do it on the first try. Nothing on screen needs reading to play.
But every match swaps animals you can see for animals you can't, and the fuel for the transfer truck has to last the whole run, not just the round. Spend a can early and you'll feel it five rounds later. That's where the game hides.
Every animal comes as a momma, a dad and a baby, and every one of them has a personality problem. Here are a few of the residents, in their own words — more or less.
Giraffe
Has never once reached anything on the bottom shelf.
Hippo
Ninety percent mouth, ten percent joy, zero percent plan.
Crab
Furious. About what? Everything.
Penguin
Dressed for an occasion that has not been scheduled.
Cow
Has one thought a week and gives it the full seven days.
Bee
Has three jobs and a strong opinion about all of them.
Octopus
Opened the jar and put everything back wrong on purpose.
Unicorn
Insufferable about the horn. Would be insufferable without it.
Every round opens with a sign on the enclosure. Sometimes it's two of a kind. Sometimes it's three. Sometimes it's a momma and her baby, or a whole family — momma, dad and little one.
The goals for the round stay at the top of the screen the whole time, showing the set it wants, so there's never anything to remember.
The holding pen takes one animal off the board for later, for free. The transfer truck drives one away for good and brings a fresh one back — but every trip burns a can of fuel, and the rack has to last the whole run.
Play a round well and you top the rack back up. Run out of matches with no fuel left, and you're out of gas. One tap, and you're back at the start line.
Every so often the delivery isn't an animal. It's a wooden crate, and tapping it cracks it open with something inside — pick the animal you want, grow a baby up, fill the line-up with babies, or deal a whole fresh board.
Three animals in every exhibit start out as silhouettes. Win rounds in that exhibit and, one by one, they rattle, flash and pop into the zoo for good.
And the zoo remembers your run. Everything you've matched comes back to visit later rounds, so by round twenty the line-up is a menagerie — a flamingo among the cows, a crab on the savanna — and matching something a long way from home is worth a little extra.
It's free to download and free to play, start to finish. Every animal in the zoo is unlocked by playing.
Yes — that's the point. There's one thing to do and nothing to read, so a child who can't read yet can play from the very first tap. Grown-ups will find it harder to get far than it looks.
48, across six exhibits: Africa, the farm, birds, bugs, the aquarium, and a mystical one with a unicorn and a dragon in it. Every animal comes as a momma, a dad and a baby. Mommas are the ones with a flower.
There's one kind, it's optional, and you're the one who asks for it: when you run out of gas you can watch a short video for more fuel cans and keep going. No banners, no ads between rounds, and nothing ever sits between you and Play Again.
iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later. It plays in landscape. There's no Android version.
No — the game plays offline. A connection is only needed for the optional video when you run out of gas.
It's the same idea, rebuilt from scratch: new animals, new art, new rounds, and none of the coins or constant ads the original had.
