Mahjong Connect

Add game to your favorites

This is a 12-stage timed Mahjong Connect game which is somewhat difficult due to the short time limits, the similarity of some floral tile designs, and how tiles are positioned to overlap each other.

• Make pairs of identical stones using a straight line which turns at 90 degrees no more than twice without passing through any other stones.
• Stones may fill in different directions depending on the level.
• Use hints or shuffles if you get stuck.

    • Identical matches
      • In this game you can only match identical stones.
    • Line drawing
      • When you select two identical stones the game will automatically draw a line connecting them provided:
        • the line does not pass through any other stones
        • the line is straight, or turns at 90 degrees no more than twice
    • Overlapping stones
      • In this game it looks as though the stones in the lower column are on top of the stones in the column above them.
      • The overlap is a bit of an optical illusion, as each stone is on its own row and column. No stone has any stones on top of it.
  • Levels
    • This game has 12 stages which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can’t replay previously beat levels without starting the game from the beginning.
      • All stages have an 8 by 16 grid with 128 stones or 64 stone pairs.
    • Levels fill stones in different directions.
      • first level: fills down
      • second level: does not fill
      • third level: top half fills upward & bottom half fills downward
      • fourth level: left half fills left & right half fills right
      • fifth level: fills right
    • Each level has a shorter time limit than the level prior.
      • The first level gives you 4:20 to complete it.
      • Each subsequent level gives you a 20 second shorter time limit.
    • You beat a level by clearing all stones before the timer runs out.
      • Each time you make a match it adds 4 seconds to your remaining time.
      • You fail a level if the timer reaches zero.
        • At that point you can either try the current level again, or end the game and submit your score.
        • If you end the game it erases your gameplay data.
      • If no valid matches remain on the board the tiles will automatically shuffle.
        • Conversely this means that if there is always at least one valid match available.
  • Scoring
    • Your game score is cumulative across levels.
    • Scoring points
      • Each stone pair you make is worth 50 points.
      • Each second you have remaining when you beat a level is worth 10 points.
    • Spending points
      • Taking a hint costs 200 points.
      • Shuffling tiles costs 200 points.
      • You start the level with 6 credits for each.
        • Each time you beat a level it will restore up to 1 credit for each type of assistance, to a maximum of 6.
        • If you use many assistance aids and lose a level then when you restart that level you will retain the number of credits you had going into that level.
  • Strategy
    • Try to work matches perpendicular to the fill direction on the far side of the fill first to help open up the field.
    • The corner pieces are the easiest to match since they can be matched in either direction.
    • If you get stuck use a shuffle to help mix up the board. Try not to use more than 2 shuffles on any board unless it is the final one so you keep your shuffles near full inventory toward the end of the game.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like traditional Mahjong Connect tile match games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
