Move Animals is a quirky, physics-driven puzzle game that taps into that specific 'awkward movement' subgenre made popular by games like QWOP or Surgeon Simulator, but with a much cuter skin. Your goal is simply to move various pets and animals into specific poses or locations to complete tasks—like helping a dog reach its bowl or positioning a cat for a photo. Because the animals move in a floppy, ragdoll fashion, the results are often hilarious and chaotic.
The charm is definitely the selling point here. Watching a stiff-legged giraffe try to navigate a living room is inherently funny. However, the controls can occasionally be frustrating rather than challenging, as the physics can feel a bit unpredictable. It's a lighthearted game that doesn't take itself too seriously, making it a perfect choice for kids or anyone looking for a low-stakes laugh.
I've been gaming since the days when you actually had to *do* things to win. Move Animals is barely interactive. You drag a dog's leg, it flops around with some basic ragdoll physics, and then a 'Victory' screen flashes. It’s mindless. It’s the kind of thing you’d see in a viral social media ad, and that’s clearly what it was made for. There's no challenge, no progression of skill, just... flopping.
The art is basic, the sound is generic, and the levels are finished in seconds. It’s a 'game' designed for people who find jiggling shapes amusing. As someone who appreciates the complexity of a well-designed RPG or strategy game, this is just noise. It’s the digital equivalent of a fidget spinner.
Performance: Ragdoll physics are stable but very basic; runs well on all devices.
Buy if: You want something absolutely mindless to poke at for 30 seconds.
Skip if: You want any kind of intellectual stimulation or competitive gameplay.
Available on: iPhone, iPad, iPod

In Move Animals, you are the helping hand for a cast of adorable, floppy pets. Each level presents a scenario where an animal needs to reach a certain spot or strike a specific pose. Using intuitive touch controls, you must drag limbs and bodies to navigate around obstacles. With realistic ragdoll physics, every movement is full of surprises and comedy. From playful puppies to giant giraffes, can you move them all?
Hilarious ragdoll physics
Wide variety of animals and environments
Simple one-finger drag controls
Cute and colorful 3D graphics
When moving tall animals like dogs or giraffes, drag from the center of mass (the torso) rather than the limbs to prevent them from flipping over and getting stuck.

The level only completes when all green 'target' circles are covered by the animal's body parts. Use small, precise movements once you are close to the goal.
There are over 100 levels currently, with new seasonal animals and holiday-themed levels added regularly.
