Beautifully designed boards, rendered in a warm retro pixel-art style, and the simple satisfaction of solving them. What you get • 99 handcrafted, always-solvable boards, from quick sessions to deeper challenges. • 5 tilesets to choose from, switchable in real time, with more on the way. • Unlimited hints and undos, so you never get stuck. • Over an hour of original music by composer Bjørn Lynne. • Play in 15 languages across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. • Now you can also play with an MFi game controller! • Buy once, all future updates included. No ads. No tracking. No in-app purchases. No internet required. Why this game exists This game is a tribute to my father, who introduced me to Mahjong in the 1980s. He passed away before my son Leon was born, so they never met. Leon helped shape the game as its youngest (and loudest) stakeholder. In a small way, this game became a bridge between them. Three generations. One love for games. Lucas and Leon
