Unscramble the pieces of a puzzle, while the picture itself is not standing still! The photo is scrolling over the tiles, so try to keep an eye on small conspicuous features as they move off one tile onto another, to figure out which tiles go together. The game even has a choice of two different kinds of puzzle: In "Swapping" mode, you can swap any two pieces by either dragging or tapping them. The "Sliding" mode works like a classic "15" sliding puzzle with the gap at the bottom right. Only you're not limited to 15 pieces, of course. You can choose the number of tiles, the scrolling speed and the scrolling direction. The game comes with six pictures included, but you can also choose any picture from your library or even take one with the camera.

Random Mahjong is a relaxed, classic Solitaire Mahjong game for iPhone and iPad. It has been played by tile matchers for years, and it still does exactly what it set out to do — no timers, no pressure, no fuss. Photo-realistic 2D tiles that look sharp rather than stale. There's no fancy 3D here; you get a classic 2D board with smooth camera panning and focus, so you're always up close to the play. Controls stay a joy rather than a chore, on both iPhone and iPad. At its heart is a random generator, so a fresh, solvable board is waiting every time you play. Prefer something familiar? Fifty preset layouts are included. And the small 32-tile boards, paired with a solution walkthrough for every layout, make this a good place to learn the rules if you've never played the Solitaire or Shanghai variant of Mah-jongg before. FEATURES: - A unique board every time you play - 50 preset layouts when you want something familiar - Very simple to learn - Small 32-tile boards, ideal for beginners - Relaxing play with no time limits - Solution walkthrough available for every board - Level rewind for repeat attempts - Undo and shuffle - Auto-save and auto-continue - That "one more try" feeling Random Mahjong is now developed and supported by ElectroSoma Ltd. We will be keeping the game refreshed and maintained, as well as working on a sequel.
