    • You can replay any of the levels you’ve already played.
      • Replay the levels to beat your previous best scores.
      • Even after beating the final level you can still go back and replay any of the levels.
    • Some Mahjong Connect games do not fill tiles in any direction.
      • In this game the tiles fill in a different direction on each level.
      • They may fill down, up, left, or right.
  • Basic rules
    • Select a pair of identical tiles to remove them from the field.
      • Whenever you select a tile it turns yellow.
      • The tiles you match must be identical. They can be adjacent to one another or be separated by a considerable distance.
      • To be valid, a pair must be connectable by a line that has no more than two 90 degree bends and does not pass through any other stones.
      • The game automatically makes the line whenever you select a valid pair.
      • Each time you remove a pair, the field’s items move in a different direction, with the movement direction being set on a per-level basis.
    • Finish the level before the timer runs out:
      • Your first level has only 56 starting seconds.
      • Later levels, with more tiles, have longer time limits.
      • If you run out of time, it’s game over. You have 2 options after this:
        • You can try again.
        • You can end your playthrough. This allows you to save your game progress.
  • Tips
    • Each level fills in a different direction.
    • When you find out which direction the board fills, try to work on the opposite end of the board first, making matches which are in an opposite direction to the fill.
      • For example, if the board fills upward make horizontal matches starting near the bottom of the board.
      • If the board filled right, you would start by making vertical matches near the left edge of the board.
      • This enables you to make more matches as tiles fill & more identical tiles fill next to each other.
  • Scoring
    • Level and total scores
      • The level score represents the points you’ve earned from a specific level.
        • This includes time and chain bonuses.
        • The level score is displayed below the level’s icon on the selection screen.
        • Beating your previous high score changes your level score.
      • Your total score is the sum of all level scores.
        • This is shown on the bottom center of the selection screen.
        • Each level you clear adds to your total score.
        • To add even more points to your total score, you must beat your previous level score on any of the levels you’ve already played.
    • Level scores
      • Each pair you clear is worth 100 points.
      • You also receive a chain bonus for every pair of tiles you clear in rapid succession.
        • You receive the chain bonus in varying increments, depending on the number of pairs you clear in succession.
        • The lowest chain you receive is 30 points.
      • At the end of the level, you receive around 40 bonus points for every second left on the timer.
      • It is easier to earn a higher score on later levels since there are more tiles to match on them.
    • Leaderboard
      • You can save your scores on the leaderboard using the following options:
        • Finish all 10 levels.
        • Quit the game after a game over.
  • Assistance
    • If you’re ever stuck, you can use the hint or shuffle buttons to help you out.
      • Hints highlight any valid pair of tiles on the field.
      • Shuffles rearrange the tiles in the field, which can help you make new pairs off the bat.
    • These options have their limits and drawbacks.
      • Hints cost 200 points, while shuffles cost 300 points.
      • You only get 3 of each in every level.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like Mahjong Connect tile match games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
