A little buggy...
After I beat level one, the timer drained out and gave me a buncha points... seemed okay... Then, the next screen had both a "score input" AND "Next Level" button... together... Which, since the "Next Level" button was ON the input area, I knew to be wrong...
I don't like it, mabye I'm just stupid.
I can't figure it out, so i'll give you a higher score than before.
Meh.
It took me almost 5 minutes of trying things out before I had a half decent understanding of what to do in the game and how far apart, what rows, how many turns, etc. constituted valid moves, and I still couldn't quite understand it. I found myself saying "how the hell would someone write the rules to this game, considering there seems to be all sorts of strange special cases for how it doesn't connect!"
And that made the game harder than it should be, too. The game is hard enough as it is without the restrictions, but with them, it seems to be unbeatable (or only beatable on the rare occassions you get a well organized board). Is it safe to assume that when the hint button is disabled with 5 hints remaining and half the board still filled that there aren't any valid moves left? I don't particularly care this mechanic in Solitaire, and I like it even less on this much more difficult game.
Now, granted, this may be a perfect re-creation of one of the many flavors of Mahjong, so my criticism wouldn't be leveled at you necessarily, but whoever made this game variation. But this game isn't fun. It's frustrating even to someone who normally likes a good cerebral challenge. The much simpler multiple layered MahJong that's more common around here (Shanghai, is it called?) is a much better game than this, because it's at least usually beatable, or at the very least you get a lot further along than this one. I didn't like that one much either though, but this one is worse.
I admit that I was never a fan of MahJong. It's just basically the same thing over and over. I guess the designs aren't too bad and some of it is pretty creative. It's just not something that I really know how to play. It reminds me of Sudoku in terms of complexity. I couldn't even tell what was supposed to go with what.
I think the tiles were supposed in the same row. It didn't seem like there were enough examples of that to make the game playable. I like the bright colors. It's pretty weird with how not a lot goes on at all. If you're experienced at MahJong, you should enjoy this.
Rules are a bit convoluted and confusing.
