Mahjong City Tours: Tile Match 4+

Had to pipe in

Hello! I have been playing this game for a few years now. I hadn’t known what to say until I just happened to see negative reviews, and felt obligated to respond.

1. This game is an amazing workout for your brain IF you don’t rely on the shuffles and boosts. If you’re lazy and want simple wins, then yep, you’re going to run out of freebies pretty quick. 2. For those with an inkling, those shuffles and boosts should be hoarded for when you just can’t beat a level, NOT when you want a quick, easy win. (Matter of fact, don’t play this game if that’s what you’re about. You will quickly become frustrated.) 3. Mah Jong is a puzzle. It’s not supposed to be easy.

Developers, this game is my bedtime ritual. Thank you for so many contented hours, not to mention the brain exercise.

Started out great!

This game was a blast! At first. Until the day I decided to purchase their city pass and there was a glitch in the app that made it as if I hadn’t purchased anything. Ok, I get it, things happen. Should be easy to just reach out to the developer to fix and I’m sure they’ll be more than willing to correct this. Lol. Nope! Send a screen shot of your purchase. Ok. Done! Oh, we ‘recommend’ that you reach back out when the purchase is no longer pending. Lol. Ok. Now I’m getting irritated. Don’t tell me what you recommend. Tell me what your policy is. Anyways, at this point the even is almost over and I’ve asked for a refund and yes, sent a screen shot of the complete purchase that they “recommend” since I’m apparently a criminal. Lol. I’m not going to battle them over $7.57 but I would like to warn everyone to not be tempted to make any purchases. If the app glitches, you’re screwed out of your money. And it will be a pain to recoup. If you’re prepared and have disposable income, more power to ya! Also, their “online support” is slower than molasses and you don’t get any notifications when they respond. You just have to leave the app open, go to info and leave that screw open all day as if you have nothing better to do with your time. Good luck!

Fun But Expensive

First off, the game itself is pretty fun. I was hooked from the start. I went over a month of playing without spending money. I kept collecting coins that I barely used. It was when I got to the harder levels that I ran into trouble. I kept having to use my coins on shuffles. I ran out of coins pretty quickly. I decided to pay just $3 to open my piggy bank. That didn’t last long. I then decided to do a cheap day trip bundle. I ran out of that pretty quickly as well. I eventually got a point where I couldn’t move forward without doing shuffles, which I didn’t have enough coins for. I think it’s worth it to spend a few dollars every so often if you really enjoy an app, but I didn’t want to spend all my money on this game. At the very least, I think they should lower the number of coins you need for a shuffle. The first shuffle is 90 coins, and then it costs more if you have to shuffle more to beat a level. That eats up the coins you earn very quickly. I eventually found a different Mahjong game that doesn’t have in-app purchases. I’m kinda sad to leave this game because I really liked it. It’s just too pricey.
