About

MahDrop

Features
Read full description

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.

About

Snake Mahjong

Features
Read full description

This game is a variation of the classic game of snake. Use the swipe gesture to direct the snake's head left, right, up, or down to eat tiles and to avoid running into walls. Each tile eaten makes the snake go faster. The game ends if the snake runs into a wall. - If a tile is consumed, a point is awarded and the snake is extended by that tile. Except when the tile forms a hand with those already in the snake, in which case the hand will be removed from the snake and a bonus will be awarded, e.g. - Three dragons give an additional 12 points. - Three winds give an additional 9 points. - Three ones or nines give additional 6 points - Three of a kind gives additional 3 points. - Three in a sequence gives an additional 3 points. Options ===== You can customize the background color or use a picture for the background. You can also turn on/off sound effects.
