Our take on Cool Animals
The character-based design ties progression to selecting the right animal for each obstacle, while the joystick requirement limits input options. The game therefore trades broader control accessibility for a setup centered on specialized movement abilities.
What is Cool Animals?
Cool Animals is a level-based puzzle game built around a team of animal characters with different abilities.
The duckling crosses water without sinking, while Castor handles certain puzzles. The goat clears barriers, and the frog rebounds from walls. The squirrel reaches narrow spaces, the cat provides extra lift for long jumps, and the fish allows underwater breathing. Players choose the character suited to each obstacle and combine these abilities to progress through the stages. The game requires a joystick to play and presents challenges that call for varied skills.
