Comments:
The game has pretty decent AI players and a nice, simple UI, but has several issues. When AI players win, sometimes tsumo is displayed instead of Ron and vice versa. Game doesn't end when a player goes into negative. Cannot riichi after closed Kan. When you are dealt a quad you can call Kan on every tile. Overall not bad, but has issues that need ironing out.
Gave 3 stars earlier for freezing during tutorial. Tried multiple times and yes, followed the instructions during tutorial. It just kept freezing. I kept restarting the app and trying. Finally got it yesterday. So, I honestly don't know if it was the app or my phone now. But the tutorial was great and I'm still enjoying the game. Also, thanks to dev for replying. Even though they misunderstood my problem, but I could've made it bit more clear. They still took the time to help.
No glitches that I encountered. But not truly able to instruct an absolute beginner to the game. 1st, There were no back buttons in the lesson segments, which is very frustrating. 2nd, it is seemingly written for an English speaker, but the dev assumes we know some of these words and neglects to define all of them. 3rd, the devs need to clean up the many many grammar and spelling errors. It's not impossible to understand, but it prevents your product from easily reaching its target audiences.
UPDATE: after response from creator I tried again. I still could not get the selected tile to always do the action but that may be a tutorial teaching thing. If you do not have the tile names and their nicknames memorized do not attempt to play. Some exposure and experience with Mahjong required. Now 3 stars. Original review: Instructions started out well until the first practice - then it froze and/or would not respond to taps - maybe there is a trick to move the tiles if so it isn't explained
A couple things I noticed. First, in the tutorial, the tutor recommends making closed melds out of a hand that starts in iishanten for chiitoi. I was just wondering what the reasoning for this was. The second thing. At one point in a game I was playing, Mei calls Ron on a Tsumo win. Apart from those two things, I enjoy this game. Edit: I just played a game where the winner got a 4200 pt Tsumo, yet that 4200 points was taken from each player, turning a 4 han hand into a 15K point win.'
