Wombat Rescue

In Wombat Rescue, you take on the role of a mother wombat determined to rescue her pups! After an unexpected dingo attack, four pups have been driven away from their den, and now it's up to you to bring them back. With limited sight but a keen sense of smell, you must navigate the environment using cubes of feces, which act as scent markers. The game is dynamic and strategic, where you'll need to collect food, digest it and produce the necessary feces cubes to trace your path. Plan your moves carefully to build up your scent areas and move efficiently around the territory. Win the game by finding all your baby wombats before the other players do. In Wombat Rescue, cunning is your best ally as you search for your babies and outwit the dingo!
