The object of this game was to remove all the animals
from the game board by matching them up in pairs. To link two animals together, you had to
select one animal by clicking it with your mouse and then clicking on a second
animal of that exact same type. You had
to do this while you had a clear view of the water rising closer and closer to
the ark. The pressure to save as many
animals as possible was very intense.

other. You also had the option of
clicking on the first animal and dragging it directly to the second animal that
you selected. This part of the game made
it a little easier to compete if you selected pairs of the same kind of animal,
one after another you could earn combination bonuses and lower the water level. My first two attempts at mastering this game
were more like learning experiences rather than competitive games. After becoming better acquainted with the
game-play, I started to develop some strategies and techniques to help elevate
my bonus points and overall score. By
the time I had played my fifth game, I had reached level 6 and earned over
10,000 points. This game became almost

reach a higher score and higher level if I continued to play. I probably played Noah’s
