About This Game

Animal Connection is a casual HTML5 tile‑matching/mahjong-style puzzle where players link pairs of identical animal tiles using up to two right-angle turns to clear the board. Play is short-form, family-friendly, and offered across many browser portals and app ports with multiple modes and dozens of levels; some levels are timed and some portals offer purchasable hints or reshuffles. The tone is cute and non-violent — aimed at casual players and children.
