## What is Animal Link?

Forest Rescue: Animal Link is a calm animal-link puzzle about finding a safe path home. Match two identical tiles through open spaces with up to two turns, then open a route for the forest friends. As the board shifts after each move, every choice can reveal a new way forward

In Journey, the goal bar shows how many animals remain for each target species. Match a target pair and both portraits fly to the bar while the progress updates. Rescue every species at its own pace, using other animals to clear routes when you need room to think

Keys unlock special routes. Match two keys with the same symbol to open the matching gate group; on cage stages, each legal key pair unlocks exactly one eligible cage and brings the animal inside into play. Later stages add more target species, varied movement rules and timed sunset challenges

Classic offers three difficulties and a steady stream of board-clearing puzzles. When no route remains, the board reshuffles automatically and spends one shuffle; clearing a board adds another for the next challenge. Help can reveal a current pair when you need a nudge

Journey and Classic keep separate device saves, need no account for core play and work offline. When you need more hints or time, an optional rewarded ad may be offered; the amount is shown before you choose to watch
