Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
They do have ads. Tired of false advertising.
So exciting to match colorful tiles.
You claim no ads and yet playing 8-9 games then the ads start showing up why do you lie you cant be trusted why why its a pretty good game.
Love it but they lie when they say no adds.
Its not no annoying ads theres an annoying ad after each game.
This is a really good game, however it is FULL OF ADDS which interfere with relaxed gameplay.
This game is so much fun because we can actually get really involved into the game without a lot of unnecessary ads.
Otium Mahjong : Wafu Tile Match . Thanks for opening our eyes to your somewhat distinct experience with Wafu. We enjoy having fresh designs plus working on recognition of the colorful new tiles. Again thanks for the nudge.
Too many times showing that its not able to finish! Aggravating.
While we love the game we rather play the other ones without ads! Id pay for no ads like we do on other games. But they dont give us that privilege. So Im deleting this game. Nice try tho.
Are the tiles in the game random.
The game is okay. Near identical to other mahjong apps like Vita Mahjong. The load time is garbage (if it loads) and it constantly freezes.
Doesnt respond to finger taps. Error in tiles movement.
Great fun using many brain cells and logic.
We enjoy playing these games and choosing the strategies we will use. Each game is different and gives us new challenges.
We love the calming music in the background which is why we enjoy Mahjong so much. Along with the challenges from playing this game, which can be played alone or with friends. This is our latest addition to our vast collection of Mahjong games but what intrigued us most is the unique graphics on the tiles and the variation of rules that always keeps us on the alert.
Very enjoyableabsolutely exercises the brain to invent different touch moves! Really enjoy this game.
