Pet Fall

Pet Fall is a line-clearing puzzle that uses animals as its blocks. You can move the animals from side to side, and the aim is to collect full horizontal lines so they disappear. Its tags place it alongside falling-block and matching games, and the logic will feel familiar to anyone who has played that style of puzzle.

Two kinds of special animal complicate things. Some are frozen, and these must be released twice before they are gone, so a single completed line does not remove them. Others are locked in cages and cannot be moved at all, which means you have to build your lines around them rather than shuffling them out of the way.

When the board gets awkward, bonuses are available, and the description advises using them when necessary rather than straight away. That mix of free animals, frozen ones and caged ones keeps each board from playing out the same way, and the cute animal faces give a classic block puzzle a softer look.

1. Slide animals left or right on the board.
2. Fill a complete horizontal line to make it disappear.
3. Clear frozen animals twice and plan around caged ones.
4. Save bonuses for the moments you really need them.

Look at where the caged animals sit before you move anything. They are fixed points, so plan your lines to pass through them rather than around them.
