Burro Bonanza

A little side project: Burro Bonanza, a match-3 puzzle game starring Dusty the burro and 20 levels along a desert trail. Match three (or more) to clear the board, unlock special tiles, and chain cascades for bonus points. For the region's real pro and minor-league teams, see Local life.

The burro theme isn't random: wild burros have roamed the hills between Moreno Valley and Colton — Reche Canyon, San Timoteo Canyon, and the Pigeon Pass Road area — for more than 70 years, likely descendants of pack burros left behind by miners in the early 1900s. They're a genuine local fixture, protected under state law, with a rescue and sanctuary (DonkeyLand) operating in Reche Canyon.
