### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2023-07-02*

I’ve had this game for years and love to play it. Also used it to help my little grandkids learn things “alike”.

### 5/5 — You Will Love It!

*2011-10-27, version 1.0*

Work to beat your best time each time!  I looked all over for this game. I had it on my computer years ago and my whole family was addicted. It is like mahjong only with colorful planets and moons. (come to think of it, I think my old game was called Marble Jong)  

The more you play the better you get. There is no rush. You can play as leisurely as you wish or as fast as you wish!  There are beautiful Hubble photos for your choosing for the background too. 

You will not be disappointed with this game!  I wish there were more like it. My only suggestin would be a place to save your score. My best time won't even show up now. 😢

Great game!  Good job!

### 3/5 — High scores not updating?

*2011-08-17*

This a good game but the high scores list is not updating so it isn't as challenging to try to better the scores.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2011-02-06*

This is a great game. Hopefully the developer will come up with some themes.
