How to play Aggretsuko: The Short Timer Strikes Back on Mac
Game summary
A match-three game based on the TV and Netflix series Aggretsuko. The titular red panda has been tasked by her tyrannical boss to decorate the various floors of the new office building.
To do so you must earn her "stars" by completing levels of match-three puzzles. Each level has differently coloured tiles (modeled after the characters in the series), plus office-themed obstacles that require special criteria to be removed. The goal is to remove the obstacles and clear the level in a set number of moves.
Along the way you unlock the various characters, which each have special abilities. You also unlock the one-minute episodes of the Aggressive Retsuko TV series.
The game contains two types of currency, which are available for in-app purchase.
