## What is Mahjong Zen?

Mahjong Zen is a calm, meditative take on classic tile matching — and now it has a story, told in ink.

THE UNFINISHED CIRCLE
Every dawn the old Master painted a single circle. On the last morning the brush lifted halfway, and the wind tore the scroll into thirty pieces. Set out with the young Pilgrim and a paper crane to gather them. Six chapters from the garden to the summit, 23 original ink illustrations, and scenes that paint themselves before your eyes.

THE PILGRIM’S JOURNAL
Every level you clear returns a lost page. Collect all 30 pieces to close the circle, and re-read any scene whenever you like.

TWO GAMES, ONE CALM
• Connect: link matching tiles with a path of at most two turns. Every match glows with a golden thread.
• Classic 3D: stacked ivory tiles. Match the free ones and clear the pile. Pyramid, Diamond, Tower, Grand Pyramid and Great Tower.

A 30-LEVEL JOURNEY
Six seasons, each with its own weather: spring petals, river rain, mountain wind, temple lanterns, summit clouds. Three stars per level for time and helper goals.

A MODE FOR EVERY MOOD
Zen (no timer), Time Attack, Endless, and a Daily Puzzle shared by everyone. 18 achievements, stats and streaks.

HELPFUL, NEVER PUSHY
Hint, Undo and Shuffle are always at hand. Reduce motion, large text and a color-blind mode make it comfortable for everyone.

FULLY OFFLINE · NO ADS · NO TRACKING
No account, no ads, no data sent anywhere. Your progress stays on your device.

The first levels, the Serenity layout and every mode are free. A one-time purchase unlocks the whole journey and all layouts.

Büyük oynanış güncellemesi: Farklı taşa geçmek artık cezasız; geri al kazanılan puanı birebir iade eder. Akış (combo) penceresi, bölüme göre hız bonusu, bölüm öncesi hedef özeti ve kazanma ekranında yıldız kontrol listesi eklendi. Oyunu duraklatabilirsin; 3D bölümlerde geri al, serbest taş rehberi ve seni engelleyen taşların vurgusu var. Modlarda kişisel rekorlar tutuluyor. Yenilenen eşleşme efektleri, mürekkep fırçası bağlantı çizgisi ve çok sayıda düzeltme.

Major gameplay update: switching tiles is now penalty-free and undo refunds exactly what you earned. New combo flow window, par-based speed bonus, pre-level goals and a star checklist on the win screen. Pause anytime. 3D levels add undo, a free-tile guide and blocker highlights. Modes now keep personal bests. Refreshed match effects, an ink-brush connection line, and many fixes.
