Description

The Story

Many people equate China with the lunar calendar, but the sun has also played a pivotal role in how the Chinese view life cycles. The ancient Chinese developed what is known as the 24 solar terms, which prescribed how people lived and worked, especially in rural areas. The solar terms originated between the 16th and 11th centuries BC and were perfected in their present form during the Western Han Dynasty (206-220 BC). Pure Mahjong explores each of these 24 solar terms over the course of the year – both the main screen and the game itself adjust to the season, displaying typical motifs and objects along with some interesting trivia.


Design: a completely new approach with amazing results

Every picture you see in Pure Mahjong is a lovingly created collage based on real photographs. Nothing like this has ever been used in a computer game, and the experience for the player is something completely different from the pixelated effects that pop up in even the latest titles.

Each of the 24 seasons (called solar terms) has been created as a work of art, combining amazing and traditional sights from all over China according to the season.

While the main screen introduces the current season, the Mahjong games themselves are displayed on 24 beautifully decorated changing backgrounds.


Levels: Intelligent entertainment that can last minutes or hours

With more than 1,800 individually designed levels, Pure Mahjong provides enough variety for months of challenging gameplay. While some levels can be solved in minutes, other may take hours to finally crack. There is a solution for every single level.

As a special feature, you can compare your personal results with those of other players that have solved each individual level before you.

On every single day of the year, four new levels await you to be solved. From (relatively) easy to very difficult, players can expect real challenges. For each solved level, the player is awarded with a calorie-free fortune cookie. More than 700 different messages await discovery!


Music: A relaxing, uplifting soundtrack
We’ve listened to hundreds of relaxing Chinese-themed songs for close to a year to create a soundtrack of more than 20 inspiring, unobtrusive tracks. The result is beautiful music that not only helps you concentrate and relax, but also completes the meditative experience of playing Pure Mahjong and stimulates your senses.

Would recommend to EVERYONE AND ANYONE!

I recently had downloaded “Mahjong Club - Solitaire Game,” and despite its nice graphics and sound effects, it had terrible ads! The ads were everywhere, and some of them were ads that would trick you! Like, one tried to blend in as part of the game, and another said I needed an update, but it was just for their other mahjong game. 😡😡😤😤😠👎👎👎👎

So, I uninstalled it, and now I got this.

This game is amazing! I love the sound effects and scenery! 😁😁🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍🤓🤓😎😎😃😄😁🙂🙂

PLEASE MAKE MORE AMAZING GAMES, THANKS!

Developer Response ,

Hi there,

thanks so much for your review - it made our day.

Unfortunately we are also forced to show ads to be able to make a living as a small app developer. Glad they are not too intrusive.

We would be honoured if you decide to support us by becoming a premium user.

Please send us an email if you have suggestions to improve to support@thebinaryfamily.com

Kind regards, Thorsten

Settings Missing

Just started playing this morning and like it so far.
I was able to turn off the music, but can’t find the settings to turn off the sound. I’ve disabled the sound on all the games I have on my iPhone and iPad as I find them annoying and distracting.

Too many bugs

The most irritating is blocking obvious legal moves. A legal move is treated as illegal necessitating rebooting the game and losing all your moves. Nice game but needs work by the developers. Left them an email let’s see if they respond. I WILL LEAVE ANOTHER REVIEW REFLECTING THEIR RESPONSE TO SUPPORT. I AM A SUBSCRIBER.

FOLLOW UP: It’s been too long without comment from developers. They’ve decided to ignore my emails and not offer support. I’ve canceled my subscription and hope the developers get their heads out their a… and back up what they sell.

Developer Response ,

Dear Nick, thank you for taking the time to review our app. Our support team had responded to your initial e-mail 13 minutes after you sent it, and is at this time standing by for your response.
