Slide and Solve in Funimal
IXILL LLC. has officially launched Funimal on Nintendo Switch, bringing its charming turn-based sliding puzzle gameplay to the Nintendo eShop. To celebrate the release, the studio is offering a 10% launch discount until Monday, December 1. The Steam version will be coming out on Thursday, November 20, and will also feature a launch sale.
Funimal is a safe and simple puzzle experience that encourages creative thinking through strategic movement. Players must complete each level by achieving the goal of “Catch within 5 moves,” using the unique traits of the creatures called Funimals. Each has its own movement rules, and when two Funimals merge, they form a new one, introducing fresh layers of strategy and experimentation.
The game’s core appeal lies in its clarity and accessibility. Each stage clearly displays the recommended number of moves to clear it, and players can solve most in three moves. Players simply slide rows vertically or horizontally to find the most efficient solution. The combination of simple controls and logical problem-solving makes the experience both approachable and deeply engaging.
For those who enjoy a more relaxed playstyle, Funimal includes convenient “Redo” and “Hint” options, allowing players to learn from mistakes or get guidance without frustration. As players progress, new gimmicks and mechanics are gradually introduced, offering a satisfying challenge while keeping the difficulty balanced for all ages and skill levels.
With its blend of thoughtful design, charming simplicity, and strategic depth, Funimal offers a delightful puzzle adventure for anyone who enjoys clever problem-solving on the go.
