Here are some screenshots of the game.
I started playing this when I was recovering from a concussion, and it really helped! Trying to think of what moves I should do compared to what I see, and also trying to focus on all the tiles really helped! I’ve almost completed every board (including going back and completing all the previous daily boards), and I think a fun option would be a “random board” button. This way instead of resetting all the boards, you could be taken to a random board to replay. This could also be an option for regular players that just want to play, not necessarily trying to complete each level individually.
This is a very nice version of Mahjong, and I’ve played many. It has a nice variety of tiles and background options to keep it interesting- the traditional tiles are available as well as simpler challenges like foods and letters- would make it easier for kids to learn. Plus they have some nice options that make the games go faster if you want, such as highlighting available tiles so you know which ones are free. My only small complaint is that it would be nice to have more music choices- I like the idea of listening to music as I solve, but the tune is repetitive after awhile. *Note that I have only played 20 or so games at this point, so if there are issues with having to pay to get more boards or anything like that, I haven’t seen them yet. I will update my review if I come across anything like that, but otherwise this is just a fun version of Mahjong with some nice bells and whistles to make in interesting. Enjoy!
Love Mahjong. Great way to stay mentally sharp and to pass the time enjoyably. I looked up a free version in the App Store, but the frequent, seemingly uncloseable advertisements every other round was super frustrating to me - counteracting the added mental clarity I was going for in the first place by playing a pattern recognition game lol. Then I was like”Apple One comes with Apple Arcade, surely they have their own Mahjong game.” And, sure enough, they did and it HAS NO ADS. I cannot overstate how much better playing this type of a game is at achieving a state of calm-mindedness without the annoying, bright, and loud advertisements constantly assailing you. Highly recommended 👍.
I’m still in the beginning boards I’m sure since they have all been solvable pretty easily but I enjoy that. It’s an easy game to kill time and relax the mind. The tiles are pretty and there are several backgrounds to change out for a different feel. Only thing I may suggest is showing the timer while you are playing the game instead of just after the puzzle is solved. Mild frustration when I’m trying for all three stars and miss the time by just a couple of seconds when I know I could have finished the last few tiles a smidge faster and made it.
Well I’m a nutshell, the menu at the top where options etc are located, don’t fit my 12 Pro Max display and there is no landscape mode. It seems like when they created this game they didn’t think it through. Even worse apple let it go through so it’s very clear that there was no quality control from the creator of this game and no quality control from Apple. I think it would be a decent game if they just fix it. At least put an option in the game to play in landscape mode. When you pay a monthly subscription fee you expect the games that you download to at least fit the screen that you’re playing the game on. I definitely don’t recommend this game right now but I may change my mind if the developer fixes it.
No fuss, no unnecessary frills, just Mahjong. The goals are basic (complete the board within a time limit for a star, don’t use shuffle for another star and so on) which adds an extra layer of challenge without an extra layer of complexity. Tile and background customization provide interesting options without making themselves the focus in any way. Boards can be replayed infinitely and there are plenty to choose from. You came for Mahjong, and that’s what you’ll get.
Love this version of Mahjong; I find it very relaxing and therapeutic. Its very customizable with different wallpapers and tiles, and the background music is so very beautiful…..my only complaint would be that the music is only one song about 3 minutes long or less and it just replays over and over. To make this beautiful game something I could play for hours, they will have to add more music. As it is, I stop playing after about 10 minutes because I grow tired of the same song playing over and over again….no matter how beautiful it is. Give yourself the gift of some zen by downloading this game.
Seemingly for just another application game, this one seems to take it farther than most. Not only does it provide fun and different sizes shapes and routes, but it also looks to make you feel comfortable with beautiful calming music. The fact that there is variety and vibrance of color is just the icing on the cake. There’s not many games that I would take the time to make a review for, but this is one that truly does deserve a little bit of extra applause to the developers.
I enjoyed playing the game up until I noticed two recurring issues. The first issue on many of the boards played is when there are four tiles left in set of two stocks and the first two top tiles will be paired but the remaining two will not match. I have encountered this error on many of the boards so the game displays unresolved and resets the game and completes it. The second issue is some of the board games are truly UNSOLVABLE even when using the HINT option from the start of the game to test run the board logic the game stops playing because there are no more tile options to match. Very disappointing to experience these issues with some of the boards specially because points are awarded for completing against the clock. Please fix it.
I haven’t had this much fun with a game in a very long while. Tho Aug 9th daily is missing the violet pansy upright, at least it looks like it to me. And you can’t finish daily puzzle. Play and you get to the last four tiles and can’t go further. I looked at all the tiles I cleared and there is only one of those pansy’s. Otherwise it is an excellent game. Only drawback is the timer wish we had a choice to use it or not. But understand that is part of the game process for goals.
