Mahjong Frenzy

Mahjong Frenzy** is a **Mahjong Solitaire** (also known as Shanghai Mahjong) match-and-eliminate puzzle game. The goal is to clear all tiles from a 3D stacked layout by matching identical pairs. The game features **825 levels** across **9 chapters**, along with daily challenges, leaderboards, and achievement systems. ### Basic Rules #### 1. Objective Remove all mahjong tiles from the board by finding and matching **two identical tiles** within the time limit. When you match a pair, both tiles disappear from the board. Clear all tiles to pass the level. #### 2. Tile Selection (Movability Rules) Not all tiles can be clicked at once. A tile is **selectable** only when: - **No tiles are stacked on top of it** — the four positions on the layer above (Z+1 layer) must all be empty. - **At least one side (left or right) is clear** — if a tile has adjacent tiles on both its left and right sides, it is blocked and cannot be selected. - **Gray tiles** are blocked/covered and cannot be clicked. - **White/bright tiles** are free and can be selected. #### 3. Matching - Click on a selectable tile to select it (it will be highlighted). - Click on another identical tile to match and remove the pair. - If the two selected tiles are not identical, the selection resets. #### 4. Timer & Scoring - Each level has a **countdown timer**. Initial time = **number of tiles × 3 seconds**. - There are **3 stars** on the progress bar that break as time passes: - **3 Stars**: Remaining time > 50% - **2 Stars**: Remaining time between 25% and 50% - **1 Star**: Remaining time < 25% - **Game Over**: Time runs out (0% remaining) - The last **10 seconds** trigger a flashing warning. #### 5. Shuffle Mechanism - When no matching pairs are available on the board, the game will **auto-shuffle**. - The shuffle keeps movable tiles in place and reassigns tile values (from 1 to 42, paired values). - The algorithm ensures all tiles can eventually be matched and cleared. ### Game Modes #### Level Mode (Main Campaign) - **825 levels** organized into **9 chapters**. - Chapters 1-8 each contain 100 levels; Chapter 9 contains 25 levels. - Levels unlock **linearly** — you must complete a level to unlock the next one. - Chapters can be unlocked by watching ads. #### Daily Challenge - A **random challenge level** generated each day. - Cycles through 600 pre-built challenge maps. #### Friend Battle - Compete with friends via the **leaderboard**. - Rankings are based on total stars earned. ### Power-ups & Items | Item | Description | |------|-------------| | **Tip (Hint)** | Highlights a matching pair on the board.
