Mahjong Match Club

Mahjong Match Club adds movement to tile matching. Two identical mahjong tiles can be removed when nothing stands between them, and when that is not yet the case you slide tiles around to make it so. The developer's description is loosely worded, but the steps it sets out run like this. Choosing and removing a matching pair leaves a green space behind, and tiles can be moved into it. You tap and slide a tile until there are no obstacles left horizontally or vertically between it and an identical tile it now faces. Let go, and the two disappear.

Getting through a level moves you on to the next and earns points. The developer presents it as a test of strategy and vision. It plays in a tall portrait frame, and the only stated input is tapping and sliding.

Tap a mahjong tile and slide it to move it. Your aim is to line it up with an identical tile so that nothing blocks the way between them, either across or up and down. When the path is clear and the two face each other, release the tile and the pair vanishes. Removing pairs opens green spaces you can slide other tiles into.

Every pair you remove creates space, and space is what lets other tiles move, so early removals make later slides possible. Before sliding, look along the row and the column: the tile needs a clear horizontal or vertical line to its twin. Work out where a tile will end up before you let go of it.

A sliding variant of mahjong tile matching, in a tall portrait frame. Pairs vanish once lined up with no obstacle between them. Input is tap and slide. Points are awarded as you advance through levels, but no level count is given.

Mahjong Chains removes identical stones joined by up to three straight lines, with a relaxed mode that has no timer. Animal Connection lets pairs that touch or sit in a direct line clear straight away.
