Happy Paws: Match Game

Candy Pet Knit Match is a warm knit-clay texture match-3 puzzle game, built around a hand-woven wool candy wonderland. Every scene, pet tile and UI element adopts delicate knitting stitch art, with fluffy wool cloud, yarn hills, cake level nodes and rainbow candy decorations filling the overworld map. Swap adjacent knitted animal icons to match 3+ identical pets, complete target elimination missions and collect gold coins, exclusive boosters and free limited rewards.

### Core Game & World Map System
1. Progressive Knit World Map
The main overworld is a full wool fabric landscape, numbered cake-shaped level nodes from 1 to 12 arranged along winding yarn rivers. Levels unlock sequentially: finish Stage N to unlock Stage N+1. Multiple reward icons with red notification dots scatter on the map:
- Lollipop daily gift: Claim free gold & boosters every day
- Avatar frame box: Unlock cute knit pet portrait borders
- Limited gift pack: Special seasonal pet tiles & extra star power-ups
Top-left HUD permanently displays your total gold coin balance; top-right gear button opens global sound, language and gameplay settings.

2. Match-3 Elimination Rules
All playable tiles are knitted plush pets: red fox, white hamster, yellow duck, green frog, and rare purple hippo special tiles. Drag to swap two neighboring pets, horizontal/vertical chains of 3 or more matching creatures vanish to add score, releasing soft knit particle burst effects. Long combos raise your score multiplier and speed up star progress bar filling.

3. Stage Target Mission Mechanic
Each level’s top bar shows two elimination quotas for designated pets. Reduce both counters to zero to clear the stage, earning 1–3 star ratings based on total score performance. A star progress bar sits below the score counter, tracking your current rating tier in real time.

### Reward & Booster Popup Systems
1. Free Star Booster Popup
Mid-game random reward popup titled "Get Booster!": Grants ×2 cartoon star power-ups. Tap the green "Receive" button after watching a short ad video to add stars to your inventory. Star boosters unlock rare hidden knit pet patterns during elimination combos.
2. Hidden Pet Preview Hint Popup
During gameplay, a pink border hint window may pop up to display a small knit grid preview of rare purple hippo tiles, showing where big elimination chains can be formed to clear target missions faster. Tap the top-right X to close the preview and return to play.
3. Offline Gold Bonus Popup
After offline re-login, a candy-themed Offline Bonus window pops up with 500 base gold; two claim options: direct ×1 gold collection, or watch ads to triple rewards to ×3 1500 gold.

### Four Permanent Match Boosters (Bottom Game Bar)
All boosters are knitted candy designs, replenishable with gold coins via the "+" icon under each item:
1. Bomb Candy: Detonate a large 3×3 area to clear all surrounding pet tiles
2. Swirl Lollipop: Shuffle every pet icon on the entire game board randomly
3. Swap Candy: Free unlimited tile swap without requiring matching elimination
4. Infinite Time Clock: Extend your available operation steps for the current stage
Extra side buttons: Left blue help guide icon, right gear settings button.

### Visual & Difficulty Curve
Full uniform knit stitch art style across every interface, soft pastel candy color palette. Early stages have low target elimination counts for new players; higher-number cake levels mix more rare purple hippo tiles, require longer combos and higher score thresholds to earn full 3-star ratings. There is no maximum level cap, with dozens of knit cake stages waiting to unlock on the wool wonderland map.

Perfect for casual players of all ages, this cozy knit match-3 combines plush wool pet visuals, sweet candy scenery and simple one-finger swap controls. Clear all pet target missions, collect ad-boosted free rewards, unlock every cake level node, and fill your knit pet collection!
