Mahjong Jungle
Ants, butterflies and a clock: jungle tiles cleared pair by pair.
Insects and jungle wildlife carry the tile faces in Mahjong Jungle. Ants, butterflies and a handful of other creatures replace the numbered suits, and the art is drawn close-up and colourful, which is a mixed blessing: two butterflies with different wing patterns take longer to separate than two obviously different numbers would.
The board is cleared by matching identical tiles and lifting them off in pairs, and a timer runs on each layout. Tiles pinned by their neighbours cannot be taken, so the pieces on the upper layers are the ones that keep a level alive. The Monkey board lays the same tiles out in another silhouette.
When the board stops producing pairs there are two ways out. A hint highlights a legal match, a shuffle redistributes the tiles still in play. Neither adds time, so the sensible pattern is to search first and reach for the buttons only once the search has genuinely failed. Pairs leave the stack the same way in the Solitaire board.
The HTML5 build plays on a desktop machine and on touch devices, and full screen is worth switching on before you start, because the wing patterns and antennae that distinguish one creature from another are small details. The same free-tile rule governs the Flower Tower board.
Controls
Mouse, or tap on a touchscreen.
How to Play
- Scan the jungle tiles for two identical creatures that are uncovered and open at one side.
- Click the pair to remove it and release the tiles beneath.
- Work down the stacks rather than around the outline of the board.
- Clear every tile before the timer runs out, using a hint or a shuffle if the board locks.
Tips & Tricks
- Compare patterns, not colours — Mahjong Jungle gives several creatures the same palette and different markings.
- Open the stacks early — a covered tile is dead weight until the piece above it goes.
- Shuffle only on a dead board — a reshuffle spends time you will want at the end of the level.
- Sweep the edges last — loose tiles at the border stay available, buried ones do not.
- Turn on full screen — antennae and wing markings are the difference between a match and a misclick.
