Get ready for some farmyard fun in Pen Pals, a delightful casual puzzle game developed and published by Dabble Works. Things are going "HAYwire" down at the farm, and it's your job to herd a collection of adorably round barnyard friends back into their pen.
The core mechanic is simple yet engaging: when two matching animals bump into each other, they merge into a larger version of themselves. This creates a satisfying chain reaction that can quickly fill up the screen, demanding strategic thinking and quick reflexes.
Overview
Pen Pals challenges players to manage increasingly crowded pens by strategically merging animals. The goal is to guide these charming, round creatures back to safety, but watch out – the farm is full of "wacky changes" and unique twists across over a dozen different stages. Each level offers distinct visuals and gameplay variations, keeping the experience fresh and exciting. Players can aim for high scores by chaining merges together to build impressive combos, aiming to beat three target scores, including a coveted gold score, on every stage.
