3 in a Row: Cats

On the board, you will see cute cats of different colors sitting inside little cages: red, gray, white, and even striped. In the puzzle game 3 in a Row: Cats, you swap neighboring cats to line up three of the same color in a row. Three red cats in a row disappear and earn you points, and new cats fall from above to take their place. The goal changes from level to level. Sometimes you need to score a certain number of points, sometimes you have to bring a fish down to the bottom, and other times you must break all the ice or clear out the jelly. Your number of moves is limited, and if you do not complete the task in time, you have to replay the level in this casual match-3 game.

How to play?

In this match-three game, you drag the cats around. Click a cat and drag it up, down, left, or right, and it will swap places with its neighbor. If this creates a line of three or more identical cats, they disappear, and new ones fall from above to fill the empty spaces. If you collect four cats in a row, you get a striped cat booster. Click it to blow up an entire horizontal or vertical line. Boosters stay on the board between moves, so you can hold on to them for tough moments, and you earn extra points for using them.

Ice blocks break after two hits. The first match next to them cracks the ice, and the second one shatters it completely. You also need to drop fish to the bottom of the field. They fall when there is free space under them, so clear the cats below the fish and they will slide down. If you run out of moves, the board shuffles automatically, and the cats switch places to create new possible combinations.
