Woodventure

A weekend walk through a forest is the framing of Woodventure, and the tiles are the animals you meet on the way, from foxes and owls to hedgehogs.

SBC Games states the rule plainly: two tiles connect when the path between them has at most two turns. Eighteen levels build on that, and clearing the whole board is the target on each of them, with the forest getting busier as you climb. Digital keeps the path rule and changes the pictures.

Scoring is tied to time. Matches and combos are worth more when they arrive quickly, so a level cleared slowly and a level cleared in a rush are not the same result. The reasoning behind the move order is in the page on onet boards.

Three bonuses are on the table: a hint that shows one of the next possible matches, a bomb that blasts a random pair off the board, and a reshuffle that rearranges every tile still in play. The 1280-by-800 build is the widest board in this group and full screen suits it, since the animal illustrations carry detail a windowed view throws away. The Connect Cute grid sets out another one-layer board on the same rule.

1. Pick two tiles showing the same forest animal.
2. Check that the path between them turns twice at most.
3. Click both to make the pair disappear.
4. Spend a hint, a bomb or a reshuffle when the board runs dry.
5. Clear every tile to complete the level.

• Chase combos — Woodventure scores on speed, so consecutive matches are worth more than the same matches spread out.
• Reshuffle beats stalling — it rearranges every remaining tile, which is a far bigger reset than the bomb.
• Bomb the blocked pair — it removes a random pair, so it earns its keep when the forest board is nearly clear.
• Two turns is the ceiling — a route needing a third corner is not a match, even between two identical animals.
• Play full screen — the 1280-by-800 board is wide and the animal faces reward the extra pixels.
