I've had this game for a couple of years, and I've only managed to reach level 7!! It is a challenging, addicting game, focusing on spotting on planning ahead if you can. Visually it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but as its so addicting its fine that its not an "eyesore". Because I enjoyed this game so much, had difficulty finding another game like it-the only other ones that I've seen is ...Show more

I've had this game for a couple of years, and I've only managed to reach level 7!! It is a challenging, addicting game, focusing on spotting on planning ahead if you can. Visually it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but as its so addicting its fine that its not an "eyesore". Because I enjoyed this game so much, had difficulty finding another game like it-the only other ones that I've seen is Mahjongg Dimensions Deluxe (which I have completed and it is also quite challenging).

So to those that may think its like the rest of the Mahjongg games, it is not-it is better!. Show less

I recommend this game!

While this game WANTS to be like a mahjong game - it is sooo NOT one - lol - it's different, unique, dare I even say better?

Here's how the game plays - hold on to your hats because it WILL sound confusing - sorry inadvance:

While this game WANTS to be like a mahjong game - it is sooo NOT one - lol - it's different, unique, dare I even say better?

Here's how the game plays - hold on to your hats because it WILL sound confusing - sorry inadvance:

There is a game board on your screen. There are tiles all over it scattered throughout the board that are your typical mahjong tiles. That's where the difference ends. You have to pair 2 like tiles together and clear the screen by doing so. Sound easy? It most certainly is not because, unlike mahjong, everything is laid out on a flat "table" and not in layers. So, you can't work from the top down, etc. to get your "free" tiles. You are working on a flat surface AND trying to make pairs with "free" tiles that are, sometimes, even impossible to make.

Tiles that are next to each other, even in the middle of the board, are considered "free" tiles and can be matched (yes, even with all those other tiles around them. Tiles on one side of the board can be matched with tiles clear on the opposite end - IF it's considered "free". And, what may seem "free" to you .. guess what? Probably isn't. The game is timed (short bit of time - well it seems that way) and there's this annoying beeping noise when it's close to you needing to make a pair or you lose a life. Lose 3 lives and game over and you start AT LEVEL 1 AGAIN! There's also only "normal" setting.

I recommend you play the "practice" section of the game first. It is timed, just like the actual game and it does level up as well. There's a bonus game between levels (but I don't understand it - I understand the playing of it but not the explanation "if" you win and that's a BIG "if").

I tried to play the regular game and lost every time on level one - LOL - and only got to level 3 on the practice game. It's addictive and challenging, very challenging....extremely challenging.

I mused purchasing the game...it's got me THAT hooked but I'm pretty sure (well, reasonably sure) that I don't want a game I'm going to be stuck in the practice mode forever - lol. Who knows, maybe. Uh oh, I hear it calling.................................. Show less

I recommend this game!

I've owned Nikakudori for a year and a half and play it most days. I usually play in Time Trial mode because I am too slow for Normal mode. On a good Time Trial shuffle I can clear the board in less than 5 minutes but the count down is so quick in Normal mode that it rattles me and I match very little.

I've owned Nikakudori for a year and a half and play it most days. I usually play in Time Trial mode because I am too slow for Normal mode. On a good Time Trial shuffle I can clear the board in less than 5 minutes but the count down is so quick in Normal mode that it rattles me and I match very little. I love this style mahjong and Nikakudori better than any other that has this style (I own several others). However, someone else might not be willing to own a game that they can't play in one of its modes. Check it out before buying. It's a long-time personal favorite of mine. Show less

I really liked this game. I would totally buy it. Except for the moving background. The movement made me slightly nauseous and gave me a headache. If it had the a stationary background, this would be a definite buy for me, Unfortunately there is no option to change the background.

The only other negative is the little mini-game thing between levels. It's seems hard to win. You get 5 guesses and ...Show more

I really liked this game. I would totally buy it. Except for the moving background. The movement made me slightly nauseous and gave me a headache. If it had the a stationary background, this would be a definite buy for me, Unfortunately there is no option to change the background.

The only other negative is the little mini-game thing between levels. It's seems hard to win. You get 5 guesses and if on the 5th one you die, you lose everything you got until then. But this is minor thing and definitely not enough to keep me from buying the game.

I would definitely recommend. But I strongly recommend trying the demo before buying, just to be safe. Show less

I LOVE this game! I can't always pronounce it's name, but, I LOVE this game! Except for one thing...the Music! It would be 5-stars across the board, if it wasn't for that Music. For me, the music is NOT compatible. The first time I heard this soundtrack, it was on a football toss game, it worked there! It's too hyper for this game. I can't change it and I can't mute it, because I lose ALL sounds, ...Show more

For me, the music is NOT compatible. The first time I heard this soundtrack, it was on a football toss game, it worked there! It's too hyper for this game. I can't change it and I can't mute it, because I lose ALL sounds, including the timer beep, and, I need that! I didn't want my review to be a complaint, but, it would be nice to have an option to, at least, turn off only the music. Very addictive game, I've owned my own copy for years! If it weren't for that one thing, I'd play everyday! It is in my Top 5 favorite games of All Time. Show less

I recommend this game!
