Classic puzzle game using mah-jong tiles! It is also a kind of puzzle game derived from Mahjong such as Shanghai. This application does not attach time limit so that you can play while thinking slowly. Recommended for those who want to work on puzzles while thinking at their own pace. Because you can play free of charge, please download it first if you are interested. ◆ Rule explanation I will erase 1 to 2 tiles of the same pattern and aim to eventually erase all the tiles. You can erase it by connecting 3 tiles (up to 2 turns) connecting tiles next to each other with the same pattern or tile of the same pattern. It will be clear if you can clear the last tile, it will become stuck when the tile that disappears disappears, the game is over. Rules are simple, so you can learn while playing actually! ◆ Stage that can surely answer correctly is required Sichuan Province may be placed in an impossible-to-clear arrangement simply by arranging it randomly. With this application, only the stages that can be cleared are required. I tried hard but thought that it was a stage that I could not clear from the beginning, so no problem will occur, so I can play with confidence! ◆ Help function Hint function can be used when you do not know where the disappearing tiles are! In addition, we have a function to wait for use when we want to return our hands. Let's measure your skill with a stage system! The rate will rise as you clear the stage. Every time the rate exceeds a certain value, the stage rises and the stage of high difficulty level is released. Let's raise the stage by clearing the stage and increasing the rate! Please note that if the stage fails the rate will go down. ◆ Recommended for people like this · Those who think that they want to play Sichuan Province and Dikaku in the application · Those looking for slow puzzle games · Those who like the design of mah-jong tiles · People looking for a calm design game · I've been playing a game with two corners from before · Those looking for a game similar to Mah Jong Solitaire ◆ Details of automatic update The membership service period will be automatically renewed unless you cancel automatic renewal at least 24 hours before the end date of the membership service period.

The blocks you cleared come falling back. This is a falling-block puzzle where your toughest opponent is yourself. Every piece you place is recorded — and each time the clock loops around, it returns to the board in the same column, the same shape. Clearing lines alone won't save you: your own history piles up until it swallows the board. Clear lines through the returning shadows to erase their records for good and grow your score multiplier. How long can you hold back the tide of your own moves? Features - A run takes just a few minutes — perfect for short breaks - Easy controls: slide to move, tap to rotate, flick down to drop - No in-app purchases. Ads appear only occasionally on retry — never during play - A rule you won't find anywhere else: your moves become your enemies - Clear through the shadows to build your score multiplier - Works offline. Beat your best, then take on the world leaderboard

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ECHO LOOP at none against Mahjong Puzzle Shisensho's 11. ECHO LOOP also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). Mahjong Puzzle Shisensho's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
