Live as an animal: animal simulators

  • Lion Family Sim Online lets you rule the savannah: build and grow a lion family, hunt for food, protect your territory and lead your pride.

  • Wild Horse Simulator Racing Games has four modes: Family, Farm, Racing and Free Roam.
  • Sheep Simulator Animal Games is a sheep's life in an open world: build a sheep family, explore the city, complete missions and survive dangerous animals. On a phone, a joystick moves and dragging the screen turns the camera.
  • Forest Survival Simulator: Animal Evolution starts you as a small creature fighting hunger and predators. Experience and coins bring new animals, and you can raise speed, strength and defense, then avoid predators or become one.

Animal adventures and platformers

  • Nutty Rush is a 3D platformer about a squirrel named Pöfürdük. Run, jump and spit nuts at foes across 25 levels in 5 worlds, from Nut Forest to City Rooftops, with a boss at the end of each world. F throws a nut, and Q lets you ride Sivri the mouse for extra speed.
  • Daddy Mouse is a 2D platformer: collect cheese and get the mouse home through forests, icy mountains, volcanic lands, the open sea and castles, with bosses on the way. A or D moves and Space jumps, held for a higher jump.
  • Dog Runaway is a 3D chase: your dog has slipped the leash and the owner is running after it. There are six worlds, six dogs from a Pug to a Wolf, and missions such as finding the hidden bone.
  • Cat Escape 2026 sneaks a cat past the guards: tiptoe through the levels, hide in boxes and avoid getting caught.
  • Bumbly Bee has 40 levels of collecting honey as a bee, against the clock for gold medals or at your own pace.

Animal puzzle games

  • LongDog stretches a dog across the board to fill every empty tile without crossing its own body. There are 1,000 generated levels and a hint when you get stuck.
  • Chinchilla Trails asks you to rotate trail tiles until one route links the chinchilla to its house, collecting snacks on the way. There are 100 stages in five worlds, and the three-star turn target is a challenge, not a move limit.
  • Animal Klotski is a sliding-block puzzle: slide the animal blocks aside so the pink rabbit can escape.
  • Hungry Snail moves ground tiles to build a path home for a snail.
  • Chubby Finn has a seal push balls onto their targets. Balls can be pushed but never pulled, so plan before each step.

Tips for animal path puzzles

  1. Start from the goal. In Chinchilla Trails and Hungry Snail, look at which tiles must touch the house and work backwards to the animal.
  2. Fill corners first in LongDog. A corner can only be reached from two sides, so leave it for later and the dog can end up with no way in.
  3. Never push a ball into a corner in Chubby Finn unless the target is there, because a ball that can only be pushed cannot come back out.

Fish, food and animal businesses

  • Mimi Fish Market puts Mimi the cat in charge of a fish stall on a pier. Catch fish, stock the counters, serve customers before they lose patience, hire helper cats and grow the market across five islands.
  • Scale the Depths is a calm fishing game: cast your hook, find different sea creatures, catch and feed.
  • Zoo Restaurant serves animal customers by merging desserts.
  • Cute Animal World builds an animal park in an idle management game, with flyers to bring in visitors and performers to hire.

Animal races and arenas

  • Animal Kart is a side-scrolling kart race with ten cartoon animals over 60 tracks. Click, tap or press Space to jump, and again in mid-air to double jump.
  • Animal Racing 2 and Animal Transform Race 3D are about switching animals for each stretch of track. In Animal Racing 2 that means a shark to cross the sea, an eagle to fly over a gap or an orangutan to run up a flight of steps; Animal Transform Race 3D gives its own tip: the leopard is the fastest on land.
  • Animal.io is an online multiplayer arena: swing your tail to push other animals off the platform, and eat meat to grow.
  • Rollem.io races hamsters online on tracks against players around the world, and supports gamepads.
