Space Pet Link

Azerion Casual Games brings back its Pet Link format with a cast it says has never appeared before: alien creatures, scattered across the screen rather than stacked into a tidy block. How that works is written out in the short definition.

The difficulty choice is the part worth settling before you start. Easy mode is offered as no-pressure puzzling, while the hard setting exists for players who want the clock close, and the same alien cast turns up either way. A run finishes when the field is cleared or the timer reaches zero, so the mode you pick decides whether this is a browse or a sprint. Another entry from the same shelf is Coffee Mahjong Collision.

At 800 by 600 the aliens are drawn with enough exaggeration that no two of them blur together, which matters more here than on a themed tile set. Because the creatures are scattered rather than blocked, your eye crosses the whole field for every pair instead of working a tidy edge inwards. One more board from the same group is the Sorcerer Marvels layout.

1. Choose easy mode for unhurried play or hard mode for a tighter clock.
2. Scan the scattered field for two aliens of the same species.
3. Match them together to remove the pair and open the space around it.
4. Clear every creature from the field before the timer runs out.

• Pick the mode honestly — Azerion states the easy setting is no-pressure, and the hard one is there for a close finish.
• Sweep the corners — these aliens are scattered over the whole 800 by 600 field, not clustered in the middle.
• Read shape before colour — several of the alien pets share a palette and separate only by outline.
• Re-scan after every match — a removed pair reshapes what is reachable, so planning three moves ahead rarely survives.
