Animals on the shelves

About Animals on the shelves

Animals on the shelves is a logic game designed for both adults and children, built around sorting matching animals onto shared shelves. The challenge grows with every level as more sticks are added, keeping the puzzle fresh and increasingly engaging. Some levels introduce a time limit, and a rotating "day level" changes every day, offering a fresh task to complete each time.

How to Play Animals on the shelves

The core goal is to find three identical animals and place them together on the same shelf. Once three matching characters occupy a shelf row, they are removed and that row clears, making space for more animals. When a shelf has multiple rows, the next row only becomes available after the first row has been cleared.

The shelves are arranged differently on each level, and the number of shelves varies too. On certain levels, all matching animals must be removed within an allotted time. At the end of a level, an additional bonus is available if the correct answer is given to identify which character did not appear during that level.

Collecting keys lets players free animals and characters from cages. Completing tasks and finishing the daily "day level" are ongoing goals throughout the game.
