## What is ZooZooEscape?

Drop animals from above and merge matching pairs in a charming physics puzzle.

ZooZooEscape is a casual merge game inspired by the 12 Zodiac animals. Combine two Rats to make an Ox, then keep merging through Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and finally Pig.

Easy to pick up, strategic to master
Dropping an animal is simple—but its landing spot matters. Animals collide, roll, and fill the board, so plan ahead, check the next animal, and create room for matching pairs. Keep smaller animals together, set up chain merges, and reach higher stages quickly.

Beat the boundary and chase a high score
The game ends when animals cross the boundary line. Clear space, meet the final Zodiac animal, and aim for your best score before the board fills up.

Real player rankings
Weekly scores include only players who finish a non-tutorial game. Until there are 10 real participants, the game displays only the participant count. From 10 onward, players can see weekly scores and ranks—no bots or filler accounts.

Optional Eraser
Remove low-stage animals with an Eraser earned through rewarded ads or an optional shop purchase. The paid item provides 10 consumable Erasers and contains no random rewards.

Discover every Zodiac animal
New animals are recorded in your Zodiac Animal Collection, where you can learn their traditional names and enjoy stories inspired by Zodiac folktales. These are optional collection stories, not gameplay rules.

A changing world
Day and night, seasons, and weather change naturally while you play. Enjoy a fresh atmosphere with petals and rain, falling leaves, and snow.
