Shisen-Sho HD Hack 2.5.1 + Redeem Codes

This is a very simple game at it's core. This version is done well but the lack of a way to keep score limits the value. Add a timer and this would be in my rotation of time killing games for sure.

If you enjoy mahjong and you love to be challenged, you will enjoy this game. I'm not sure who wrote this description but the written directions are totally unclear. So here's why you will like this version of a game. STRATEGY is really at play. Unlike our traditional tile games, you have to be very selective when choosing the pair. They must make their way, the tiles that is, through a clear path. Helpful advice, when you play for the first time, use the hint feature. It helps to figure out the rules for making a match, because, and with all due respect, the way the writers described this game, is a puzzle on it's own. Worth the download...and be prepared to stare at the screen for a bit. But rest assured, you will get the hang of it. M. By the way, the developers also have that cool typewriter app, which I purchased the day I got my iPad....totally cool for emails and when you want something just a bit different to type on.

I really enjoyed my first game with this app. The rules could be clearer, but if you play the game at least once you will get the hang of it. As the previous post mentions, using the hint key will clue you in on the rules.

Suggestions for updates include better written rules, a list of how many tiles you eliminated, so you can see how well you are doing for each time you play, and an option to change the background.

The game takes less then a minute to learn, using the 'hint' early on is all takes to understand the mechanics of how to play. But it's got tons of depth and strategy and many hours of gameplay.

Vastly superior to the traditional mahjong solitaire.

An undo button and statistics would be nice, but the game is perfectly functional as is.

kwajkat has it right. The Great Wall game on the old Shanghai Greatest is the best game. This game is a good one, too. Maybe this dev will put out another Great Wall? Hint,hint.

updated: Thanks for the improvements. The timed game is great. I appreciate a developer who keeps adding quality. Please consider a “gravity" mode as in Great Wall.....

Needs a hint button for timed games. Yes, I understand that this is a strategy game and that it is difficult. However, when you have to stare at it blankly more than actually playing it, it is no longer a game; it has then become "art." And not very good art at that.

Oh, and this art is way too expensive. Of course, I should have known that going in.

This is one of my favorite games. Developer is fast to respond to inquiries as well. The only thing I would like to see would be for the titles to drop when a match is made. This is the best game in it's category, hands down!!!!!!!!!!!

Frustrating when screen after screen comes up that you can't win. Can not undo plays and re-think strategy. When you typically lose 3 times as much as win, then the game becomes frustrating, not challenging. Players of all levels should be able to play.

It's ok. It's very easy. Not bad, but not awesome. Tiles are nice but I wish there were more options and layers in the board. I prefer ShisenSho from Ta-Dah Apps on my Kindle Fire. (very strange for me to like anything on my Kindle better than my iPad but true...)
