So what is the secret to getting Happy Cat to appear? We are a LONG time player really enjoy the game. Lets see if Happy Cat wants to make an appearance. Happy Cat, Happy Cat, Happy Cat we know you are out there. Im sure that you are hiding, BUT come on out and play. PLEASE.
We are so hooked on this game, we have installed it on three different devices. We went to Kentucky to visit family, and got our niece, her husband and her granddaughter hooked as well. Our job here is done.
The game is great it helps us to remember good for memory.
Its a great game having a lot of fun keep the levels coming.Need more levels.
We really like this game. We are having a lot of fun playing this game. We will definitely recommend this game to our friends and family.
Only problem is that even if it is free to download. You still have to pay out of pocket for diamonds etc. If a game is free everything should be free.
Probably the best mahjong out of all the mahjongs we could find.
We gave Mahjong Tile Journey a try, and we are we did. The gameplay is fantastic, and enjoyable. Give it a try.
Great game and fun to play. Puzzles are entertaining.
Great game every time. Need more help yea!! The best ever!!!!fixed Love the game!! Love and play every day Could use more boosts not enough free boosts. Love it for all the brilliant colors. So much fun. Takes us away from our troubles! Need more boosters help.
Ive been playing this game for years and have spent quite a bit of money on it because we love it and want to support the devs. But lately we noticed that we cant see the number of boosters we have while playing. We feel like you just want us to buy more even though we still have a lot, yes because we BOUGHT them. Please stop being too greedy.
We have played this game for years! Im on level 3325 please add more levels ASAP! This is our Stress Relief!Why are the gates locked after level 3325? Why do we never get a reply.
Wonderful game, we really like it.
Im really enjoying this game so far. It may get harder the farther you progress though the game but overall its a really fun and relaxing game to enjoy.
So what is the secret to getting Happy Cat to appear? We are a LONG time player really enjoy the game. Lets see if Happy Cat wants to make an appearance. Happy Cat, Happy Cat, Happy Cat we know you are out there. Im sure that you are hiding, BUT come on out and play. PLEASE.
This game is Great. When will the next Journey begin? We love the journey games, do u have more journey games? We want just a journey game, not one that u have to build the colony, just one to keep going! Journey only.
We just began playing this game about 4 days ago & we really like it! The Mahjong tiles are very unique & we enjoy playing. It's quite a tricky game because the player needs to see which tiles are in play & which ones aren't. For a few minutes, the player can use the booster that highlights which tiles are in play, but that feature only lasts for a few moves. To get the player acclimated to what tiles are playable. However, it would be better if this feature lasted longer, like maybe for 1 round rather than a few moves. Other than that, we think this game is terrific. For those who enjoy playing Mahjong games, we recommend downloading this game.
When will the gates be unlocked with new games.
You have watch video in lieu of purchasing, once the video opens we cannot close it no matter how many times we click done or close is stays on our screen not allowing us to close and return to game. Ive written a couple of times about this and as much as we enjoy playing your game if this isnt fixed in 7 days today being 04/15/2025, on 04/22/2025 we will delete your game from our iPad. Dennis Peoples Never mind we quit Majhong Journey was a great game tho.
We have been playing this game since the 90s. Our favorite game. Now when we sign in you are requesting us to use a rocket or shuffle, that we paid you for, to enter the game. This should not happen.
We been playing the game for a while and we do like it ! The only problem is that after we pass the levels we have to wait a month to play again , we have been waiting since 2024 for the opening of new levels on the regular board ! Please do something about it ! Thanks.
We have played hundreds of games. Of all the games we have played, this is beyond a doubt the most interesting and the "most entertaining"!! You can get lost in it, and find that hours go by – not minutes……. You have to try it! You 'll love it.
Seashells Are difficult for us. We must not be powerful enough. Thanks for an otherwise relaxing game.
Besides Canasta thesis our favorite game.
We really like this game, been playing for years. A couple of issues we have. Youre very stingy with dropping chargers and quite a lot of them are needed for collection items. Even when we purchase the Onyx amulet (a whopping 30 diamonds!) and go back to where the GAME DIRECTS ME to go play for chargers, nothing drops. What a waste of our amulet. Please fix that, just seems greedy.
Challenging game but wondering when new levels will be added as last update to main level was 6 months ago. Is there a list of where relics can be found.
When will u continue the collection and relics part of the game. We love the game. But we know that we are not the only player with that question. As we have played this game for a very long time.
The new background behind the numbers on our boosters and hints during the game are extremely difficult to see. The background colors are both yellow. One lighter than the other.
We have been waiting for almost 4 months for you to add more stages we are at level and some whats taking so long thank you Hello, what is going on? Why do you still not have new levels.
The puzzles in India Are not very fun.
No update for over 6 months. Fun to play when updated but not anymore.
We loved this game until the last few months. Whenever we try to play the monthly games or editions (not sure what they are called) we cannot. It takes our shells or paws, or whatever we have collected to play these, but we cant actually play the game. It just deducts our shells (or whatever) and goes back to the previous screen. Ive been playing this game for YEARS, and never had a problem. Ive lost around 25 of them so far. At first we thought it was just needing to update the game, but we have the latest version of the app and it continues to just take the deduction without allowing us to play.
It take way too long for new pieces to appear once you reach the end of whats available to play.
Its not a proper challenge if its just a matter of straining our eyes to see the edges of the tiles. Thats what takes us so long. Even wearing our glasses. Our point is its visually a strain on the eyes. We have a better mahjong game we can play. Deleting this one.
Why do the levels end at 3500? Coming soon?? When.
Simply laid out, some easy, some challenging. We like the time count to see where we're at, though it gets us in trouble if we watch it too much. Gems are hard to come by. We like the free spin each day. We like the music, but it repeats over and over. It would be nice to have a little variety. Also, there is a clear spot when the music stops, but almost sounds like an annoying skipping in a recording, because that's where it restarts the song over. Just want better variety.
The same Ad has been going on since his app for 15 hours.
We wish the developers would spend some time on how POORLY the app responds, unless this is by design. It takes a RIDICULOUS amount of time to go from one level to the next. 10 seconds for the curtain to open and close, pop ups for you to spend more money. Then 10 to 15 seconds to click on the next game, wait for the never ending curtain. We realize this may sound petty for a free game, maybe youre right. When youre using an amulet that is timed and you end up using 1/4 of that time waiting for a curtain, it is beyond frustrating. As a matter of fact we are losing the rest of our amulet time to write this review because it has angered us so much. We have spent a substantial amount of money on this game with the hope it would get better. Ive removed the app several times in frustration. Can you please invest some of the boatload of cash youve made on developing something other than ways to get more. Maybe a new quest since its been coming soon for what may be a decade now.
Locks up and does not give all rewards.
The idea and setting of the game has potential but the layout of the tiles and designs on the tile are so confusing, you cannot tell which tiles are free and which ones are not. Very frustrating and we gave up within days of playing.
Love this game challenging as we go further so happy gives our brain more healthier.
Ive been playing for awhile now and today we were on phone playing it and it says new version is available to download to play. Theres no update.
We just want to play the game without all the emails and passwords and so forth. We like playing the game, but we dont want to do all the other stuff.
How long before we get some more levels.
We love this game Ive been playing it for 10 years plus we never had any technical problems or issues with it. We always look forward to the special games each month All we can say is that its our favorite game.
Constantly changing and while frustration abounds we play everyday.
We love this give , it gives us something to when Im not watching tv.
A very fun game, challenging too.
When are new Collections coming? Stuck at East Coast of USA Even though there is more maps added the Collections havent kept up with that.
Annoying Calvin character cant apparently be turned off, cant find any settings to change any settings. We know how to play Mah Jong, we dont need any help. If you do, this is the game for you! One good thing is that it works on iPad OS12 so will work on many older iPads.
