MahDrop

Random shapes made up of four Mahjong tiles each will drop from the top of the screen. The objective of the game is to move and rotate these shapes (with the provided buttons) to arrange them in horizontal lines of ten blocks without gaps. When such a line is created, it disappears, and any block above the deleted line will fall to the newly freed up space. If the line contains tiles that form groups of three of the same title or a sequence of tiles, each of the groups will score additional points. The game will continue until you stop the game, or when the block are filled to the top of the screen and you have no more moves. At which point you may decide to publish your score to the Game Center Leaderboard by tapping on the score to bring up the submission menu.

Set in the Caribbean in the late 1600s, Scurvy Seadogs casts you as Captain of a galleon full of nomadic pirates, roaming the high seas in search of action, adventure, and unimaginable bounties of treasure! The gameplay is loosely based on the classic board game Checkers, re-imagined as humorous battles between nomadic clans of bloodthirsty pirates. The aim is to simply eradicate all of the enemy pirates by strategically moving your pirates around the cargo net. GAMEPLAY The aim of the game is to eradicate all of the enemy pirates. Each player takes turns moving their pirates around the net. During each turn, you can either deploy pirates from portholes OR move your pirates by choosing a direction on the compass (all deployed pirates will move one square in the direction the compass is pointing). Moving a pirate into a square occupied by an enemy pirate will remove the enemy pirate from play. Moving a pirate into an enemy porthole will remove all remaining enemy pirates in that porthole from play (the successful pirate will be reincarnated in the porthole from which he originated). In a game of wits, cunning, and tactics, it may sometimes be advantageous for players not to move or deploy any pirates. At the start of each turn you can therefore skip your (up to a maximum of three times per stage) by clicking on the relevant icon. For more information, please refer to the How to Play screens within the app. PLAYING MODES Scurvy Seadogs includes two different Playing Modes: 1. Quick Play Mode allows players to quickly jump into a 1-on-1 battle against a computer-controlled pirate (ideal for a quick plunder!). 2. Multiplayer Mode allows players to indulge in 1-on-1 games locally on the same device, just like a traditional board game. FEATURES * A strategic swashbuckling seaborne saga for players of all ages! * Instantly accessible pick-up-and-play gameplay! * Intuitive touch-screen controls! * Multiple pirate captains to choose from! * Multiple Playing Modes, including Quick Play and Multi Player! * Adjustable difficulty settings to suit players of any skill! * Beautifully realized 3D environments and characters!
