Game Rules:
- Rule 1: The game board is a grid where 3-piece blocks fall from the top.
- Rule 2: Match three or more identical animal symbols vertically, horizontally, or diagonally to clear them.
- Rule 3: Clearing matched animals creates space and drops the remaining blocks above them.
- Rule 4: You must strategically position the blocks to create chains of matches and clear the board efficiently.
- Rule 5: The game ends if the grid fills completely to the top, so avoid letting the blocks stack up.
Controls:
- Shift Blocks: Use the Left and Right arrow keys to move the falling blocks horizontally.
- Accelerate Drop: Press the Down arrow key to make the falling blocks drop faster.
- Cycle Animals: (Assuming standard Columns gameplay, though not explicitly stated in the prompt) Press the Up arrow key to cycle the order of the three animals within the falling block.

FAQ:
- Q: What happens if I can't match any animals?
The falling blocks will continue to stack up. If the grid fills to the top, the game is over. You must try to create matches as quickly as possible to prevent this.
- Q: Is there a time limit?
Usually, games like this don't have a strict time limit, but the speed of the falling blocks may increase as you progress, requiring faster reflexes and decision-making.
- Q: Can I match more than three animals?
Yes, matching more than three identical animals (e.g., four or five) will often yield a higher score and clear more space on the board.
