I enjoy Mahjong and downloaded this
game today to try and purchased it.

Has a good storyline, large size of the
tiles appealed to me, also way the tiles
move let you know if your on the right
track and the music was nice to.

I recommend this game!

Loved everything about this game; sound, colour, graphics and the size of the tiles. Mini games were a delightful bonus. If I have to have a criticism, it would be that you don't know how many playable tiles you have left before you run out of moves.

I recommend this game!

based on demo. Each mahjong board gets you plates(coins) and gems. The gems buy the cleanup and building of places in the garden. The plates buy your power ups. I found myself having to use the shuffle button quite often. There are HOG and spot the difference mini games that give you plates. Overall it is a busy game, with lots to do. I will buy it with a credit or if on sale. It is a nice change ...Show more

When I played the Christmas-themed Mahjong Fest game, the music soundtrack kept sticking and would play the same beat for several seconds on a never-ending loop that drove me crazy. I thought surely an update would arrive after the holidays but to my surprise, instead of a patch, I got another game in the series with exactly the same issue!

Once again, I was really annoyed with the fact that as I made Mahjong matches, the board would zoom in closer and closer, it felt like it was invading my personal space. I played 3 levels and gave up when I blew through my 5 "free" Shuffle features and replayed the level twice after my shuffles were gone with the wind...it's only Level 3 for the love of Pete! That tells me two things, #1: the developers didn't care enough to fix the broken, and #2: if I have to use 5 shuffles and 2+ level replays on the third level in the demo, something's really wrong and this game will never be fun to play at this pace!

Just like its predecessor, Sakura Garden has a "Builder" feature that allows you to beautify your Sakura Garden with the Gems you earn while playing Mahjong. There are 138 Levels available which includes simplistic puzzles like Spot the Difference and Hidden Object Scenes.

You can earn up to 3-Stars per level (3-stars on puzzles if you don't use the Hint feature) and when you make matches quickly it will increase the Multiplier Index. Some levels have Presents or Gold Tiles to remove which ends the game once they are Matched, the final 2 matching tiles are also removed automatically. I find this feature annoying as well because it's just like Solitaire, I want the satisfaction of removing all of the tiles, not just some of them. You can replay the Mahjong levels to earn a better Star Rating, and you are given 5 Undo's, 5 Shuffles, and 5 Hints to start with, I'm assuming you can purchase more if necessary with the points you earn.

keeps getting no moves

PostedJanuary 28, 2020

Once you get to higher rounds just about every board cuts you off saying no moves and offers you to do reshuffle, undo Or give up.
When you use or buy more reshuffle or undo, it uses them up and right away you get the same no more moves...you end up using up all your coins on getting those power ups and it still makes you give up! Then you've used up your coins and repeating the same stupid round ...Show more

This game was good at first, but now I'm ready to delete it. I have replayed the last 3 levels dozens of times each. They are not winnable without the power ups, which I have now used up. Don't waste your time or money on this one, unless you enjoy feeling frustrated and angry.

I don't recommend this game.
