Need to be renamed to: Zoo to Mahjong! or Zoo-tto Mahjong!

Game title is: Zooっと麻雀！

Google translates this sentense as Zoo Mahjong!

Actually there are a lot of animals in the game. So It must be clearly identified that this is a game about animals. Even if it's just mahjong.

The "to" would mean "and" in English.

But I think this is probably actually a pun on this word:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%81%9A%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A8

Meaning something continuous or forever. It's spelled "zoo" because of the animals, yes. :3

No-Intro actually has another game that has a similar case to this one. It is "Ranma 1-2 - Akanekodan Teki Hihou":

The pun there is "aka neko dan" (the "red cat group" in the game) and "Akane kodan" (where "Akane" is the name of a main character in the game and "kodan" means a sort of traditional oral storytelling in Japanese). It was decided then for No-Intro to keep the words together to preserve the pun.
