Mahjong - Legacy of the Toltecs

[b]mahjong: legacy of the toltecs[/b] is a mahjong collection from 2012. there's an [b]optional tutorial[/b] and a brief help screen, but it's the usual tile-matching gameplay, of course. [b]classic mode has 333 layouts[/b], all unlocked from the start, not too shabby. there's a scroll bar, arrows on the sides, mouse wheel also works for browsing, and quitting a level puts you back to the page you were on. many modern games fail even at such basics. I wouldn't mind filters, at least to hide levels already completed, but can't have everything. [b]adventure mode consists of 34 levels[/b], a pair for each location. no actual story, just more layouts with the difference that they're unlocked one by one and completing them [b]adds more customization options[/b]. tile colors are all unlocked, but there are more tilesets, tile shapes and backgrounds, pretty good stuff. there's an overall level progress bar on top and counters for remaining tiles and available matches, plus a toggle to highlight playable tiles. [b]the timer is only present in classic mode, not a countdown but can't be turned off[/b], always a bummer. these days I don't bother with games that don't let me get rid of it,…

I have 335 hrs. into this game. One of the best Mahjong games I've played (I don't care for traditional tile sets, too difficult to discern between them). Having fully completed the first section, I began playing the timed sets...over 300...and I've managed to get all gold stars except for only a silver on just one of them...so far I've yet to beat that one last set. The only thing I'm disappointed in is that I can't reset it in order to start all over. I WISH there was a way!
