Game Rules:

1. Rule 1: Welcome to MadZOOng! Your primary mission is to clear the entire game board by successfully pairing up matching animal tiles.
2. Rule 2: To create a valid match, a clear path must exist between the two identical tiles. This connecting line can bend, but it's limited to a maximum of two 90-degree turns and cannot pass through any other tiles.
3. Rule 3: Making successful matches not only boosts your score but also smashes any crates situated right next to the matched tiles.
4. Rule 4: Keep a close eye on the timer located on the right. Completing a level before time expires is crucial for maximizing your overall score.
5. Rule 5: As you advance through the game, expect the puzzle layouts to become trickier, demanding more strategic planning to spot those valid connections.

Controls:

1. Select Tile: Simply click on any animal tile to highlight it.
2. Move Tile: After selecting a tile, click on a new, valid position on the board to relocate it.
3. Match Tiles: If moving the tile creates a valid connection (following Rule 2) with an identical tile, they will both vanish.

FAQ:

1. Q: Can I connect tiles that are far away from each other?

Absolutely, provided there is an unobstructed path between them that requires no more than two right-angle turns.

2. Q: What should I do if I get stuck and can't find a pair?

Keep scanning the board. You may need to clear out other pairs first to open up new pathways. Some levels might also provide helpful hints or a shuffle feature if you're truly stuck.

3. Q: Do I lose the game if the timer runs out?

No, the game continues even if the timer expires. However, the timer is tied to your score; finishing quickly ensures you get the highest possible points for that level.
