About

LanternTile

Features
Read full description

LanternTile is a cheerful mahjong puzzle built around layered pair matching. Tiles stack in overlapping layers on a bright sky backdrop, and your goal is to clear the entire board by tapping two identical free tiles. A tile is free when nothing covers it and at least one side is open. There is no bottom collection tray, so every match must be chosen carefully on the board itself. Progress through twelve handcrafted campaign stages, chase up to three stars per level, and build Lantern Power to reveal a valid pair when you are stuck. Special Flower and Season tiles only match by exact name. Daily Challenge and Zen mode add fresh boards every day, while achievements track combos, perfect clears, and lifetime milestones. Undo, Shuffle, and Reveal tools help you recover without breaking the puzzle flow.
