Connect Animal Classic Travel

What kind of tile-matching puzzle game this is

Connect Animal Classic Travel is a tile-matching puzzle game. The board is covered in pictures, and you clear it by joining identical pictures in pairs. It is built around picture variety, so most of the appeal is in the artwork and the number of sets.

The listing presents it as an unlimited-levels game with a steady stream of new boards. It suits people who want a casual puzzle they can play in short sessions without needing a connection.

Connecting pairs with up to three lines

To clear a pair, you draw a path of no more than three straight lines between two matching shapes. The path has to stay clear of other tiles, so the order you clear pieces in matters.

Each failed attempt costs you either one heart or one level, so hearts act as your lives across a run.

Picture sets, timed levels and extra help

The game lists more than 4000 images in named sets. These include cute animals, fruit and vegetables, nature, funny pictures, insects and fish, kawaii, classic Pika, winter, farm, spring, Japanese food, butterflies, flowers, emoji and food.

Each higher level gives you less time. After every three levels you are given additional help, which the listing does not break down further.

Starting hearts, hints and swaps

On install, the game gives you 200 hearts, 200 hints and 200 swaps. Hearts cover your failed attempts, while hints and swaps are the tools you reach for when a board stalls.

The listing does not describe any purchase or account step for these starting resources.

Offline play and the ads you will see

The game runs without a Wi-Fi or data connection, according to the listing. Its ads are limited to one full-screen ad after every four rounds, which can be closed straight away, and it has no video ads.
