■ About "Funimal"
"Think deeply, solve instantly!" "Funimal" is a turn-based slide puzzle designed with the concept of being "just the right challenge" for players of all ages and experience levels.
The core appeal lies in its constraints: every stage can be cleared within 5 moves, and each stage has a minimum move requirement. Finding the optimal solution within these limited choices provides a satisfying sense of achievement.
Unlike traditional puzzles, you move the environment rather than the character. This unique "Leading Slide Puzzle" experience-where you guide a target you cannot control directly-turns the "restriction" into a profound sense of accomplishment once you successfully lead it to the goal.
Furthermore, IXILL’s signature pixel art brings the world to life. Instead of mimicking illustrations, we pursued the "beauty of limitation" unique to pixel art by intentionally refining the information on screen. With simple controls-just moving fields-it offers an intuitive yet strategic experience for everyone from beginners to experts.
