Animatch

Make roads for every animal!

Tap a tile to rotate it. Tap two tiles to swap them. Twelve hand-drawn friends — animals and their favourite things — sit around a 3x3 board, and the quest asks you to connect them. Be warned that every road has to end somewhere: on a matching icon, or joined to another road.

It looks easy on a 3x3 board. It isn't. The road you need is already on the board, it's just facing the wrong way.

HOW IT PLAYS

- Tap a tile to rotate it.

- Tap one tile, then another, to swap them.

- Loose ends show up in red, so you can see where a road still goes nowhere.

- Bridges let two roads cross over without joining.

- "Keep apart" levels ask you to cross two roads instead of joining them.

- Park a tile in the Rest area when it is in the way, but all nine tiles must be back on the board to finish the level.

WHAT'S INSIDE

- 100 levels: six gentle lessons, then a ladder that fills the board up fast.

- Stars for clean solves and level-by-level progression.

- Daily challenge: the same board for the whole world, a new one every day, with a streak to keep.

- Endless mode in two flavours: Zen (no time pressure at all) and Challenge (a clock, plus extra seconds for every puzzle you crack), each in three tiers: Calm, Brisk, Intense.

- Six colour themes: Cream, Midnight, Ocean, Forest, Berry, Terracotta.
