Match three or more cute animals and level up in the third dimension! Go ahead and move any row up or down! We dare you to discover its ultra-addictive gameplay

Pros:

Decent graphics.
334MB Download size.
Match 3 gameplay. Slot machine where you have a bar that goes down when you move the individual columns or when you re-roll the screen by pulling the lever. Matching 3 or more fills the bar back up and levels you up.
Two difficulties easy and hard.
Has its own achievements.
Local leaderboard split by difficulty.
Full 3D implementation.
Touchscreen support.
The hard difficulty has it where the bar is constantly decreasing.
Simple yet addictive gameplay.
Lucky continues- After game over you can spin the wheel and attempt to get life back so you can continue.
Simple UI.
One more go approach.

Cons:

Doesnt support the analog pad.
Very simple.
Pure luck based.
One trick pony.
No online leaderboards.
Feels like a mobile game port in every way.

Summary

Despite looking and feeling like a mobile game, It is a nice time waster. It’s simple and alright to play. I cant say its a game you will dedicate much time to and instead is a stop-gap game. Not really much else can be said about it. Just the screenshot and gameplay style explains everything in one go.
