I'm probably the only fucker on this site that has actually played this game to 100% completion. On the surface level it's a very simple auto-battler you buy the animal emojis, level them up, they hit each other and you try to win 10 times before running out of lives. But once you get into it the mechanical depth really shows. Leveling units on specific turns to allow you to acquire a higher tier animal 2 turns early to jump the power curve, learning order of operations based on stats, turn order, animal synergies in and out of battle it. It all meshes well for a surprising deep game if you're willing to learn it. While there is RNG with shops, if you are playing optimally you can win runs pretty often, the latest update made the life system even more forgiving and while going for achievements I have ended up with around 30% of my runs ending with 10 wins. My highest streak of 10 win runs in a row ended at 14 playing customs.

There are 4 main "packs" to play, one of which is F2P. The turtle and puppy packs are more simple, mostly focused on either scaling units, summoning units or sniping units. The starfish and the golden packs bring in new mechanics like trumpets and strawberries both of which offer a little more complexity. There is also a weekly pack of random animals/foods that gets generated every week that is free to everyone regardless if you own the pack with the specific animals in them or not. And custom packs which allow for sort of a deckbuilding experience. If I had to rate the packs I would say that the newest golden pack is my favorite of the bunch, the trumpet mechanic is a great addition and I can't wait to see what Team Wood has in store next.

Overall after 100's of hours, 456 achievements + a few secret ones this is the only F2P/Mobile game that I find is actually worth playing.

Shoutout to NL for playing this.
