Comment

The player-controlled character pushes mah jongg tiles (like those found in Shanghai) around to make a path to the door in each level. Matching tiles, when pushed adjacent to one another, disappear. In addition, there is a null tile that will not move, and any tile pushed adjacent to it will become unmoveable as well. In fifty levels of this, a simple concept becomes a complicated game.
