A platformer with mahjong style. The goal is to clear each level of tiles using mahjong pair matches and rack up the most points!

I found the movement difficult to get use to starting off and the restart after each fall felt very punishing as a result. I sometimes ran into cases where I didn't have the right block to match, but that was usually fixed by jumping off and restarting the set. Once I got use to the movement, the game was a lot of fun. I liked the idea, great job!

Great idea, but I found the jumping to be very frustrating. When I fell at a wrong angle my character would come back and just keep falling until I corrected it, would like if I just fell in the starting position again. The graphics are also really beautiful.

Nice job and cool concept! It didn't seem to work in Firefox, but I opened it in Chrome and had some fun. As some folks have said, the jumping could get pretty frustrating, but overall it was well crafted and a good time. Once I got used to the controls it went much more smoothly and it was fun. Would be neat to see this turned into a full puzzle game!

Very good game. Music is nice, Probably been nice to start on the single platform then work your way up to the separate ones.

Neat idea and nice visuals. This is a nice combination.

For some reason this game ran really slow for me.

Nice entry.

The visual and music are really nice. The movement is quite hard initially, but I get a hang of it after a while. I find the idea really cool :)

That'a a really good game idea! Graphics are very good, gameplay got a little boring after a while. Jumping felt a little frustrating. Overall a good entry!

I love the idea for this game, and the game is overall fun to play. The jumping mechanic could have been better, but it is okay.

falling endlessly is pretty amazing in this game. I kept missing the platforms and kept falling until I figured out the controls properly. Good work.

I really enjoyed this one, though the levels with solid platforms were a lot more enjoyable than the ones with gaps. Given the time players can spend on puzzles, an option to mute the music would be good too (though muting tabs is easy enough these days). I also ran into a glitch with the wrong distribution of tiles spawning after a while, unless I'm missing some rule about what can be matched

I very much enjoyed my time with this game though!
