You can choose to show or hide the credits and advertising present at the end of the home page.
But also to select the language of your application between English and French.
And finally to reset all the scores recorded automatically by your games.
When you start the Mahjong game, the game board is composed of tiles arranged on one or several layers depending on the level.
The image at the center of these tiles is a thumbnail of one of your own pictures.
These tiles are in sets of 4 with identical images :
- 9 sets in easy levels, 36 tiles in total.
- 18 sets in medium levels, 72 tiles in total.
- 36 sets in hard levels, 144 tiles in total.
You can remove the tiles in pairs by clicking two tiles with identical images.
Some tiles are not selectable :
- Those who have another tile on top.
- Those who have another tile directly to the right AND directly to the left.
The number of available pairs at each move is given in the top middle of the screen.
Erased tiles are found in a frame at the top left and allow to go back in the game by clicking them.
The goal is then to find the way to clear the tiles.
You win the game when you have emptied all the tiles of the game board.
All game boards proposed can be completed.
The most commonly used trick is to go back when no pair is available.
However, you must choose wisely which move you want to go back to, determining what tile blocks most the game among those who remain.
You must then return to the move in which you deleted an identical pair and try another combination in this set of tiles.
Among the Mahjong game options are :
- Level. You can choose between 10 easy levels, 10 medium levels and 10 difficult levels.
- Help numbers, they can be shown or hidden. They allow you to differentiate for sure two sets of tiles that are similar.
- Default tiles images, if you prefer to play with the images of the traditional game.
- Chronometer, it fires at the beginning of a game and is required for recording your scores but can be disabled.
- Victory animation, it can be disabled.
- Sounds, they can be turned off to play in silence or with your own background music.
