Fans of the nowclassic game of Mahjongwill be thrilled to know that the Windows 10 Store has a similar game available that will allow them to satisfy their need of matchingtilesto complete puzzles. Although the game is similar, it does differ from the original game by having an entirely new interface. Stick with us and you will see exactly what we’re talking about.

The game is calledTaptilesand as far as matchingtilesgoes, it’s one of the best we’ve seen so far. Of course, there will be those who will be disappointed by the game because it does have one feature that might not appeal to everyone, but we’ll get into that in a few moments.

Look and Feel

As we’ve mentioned before, Taptiles is similar to the Mahjong game fromMicrosoft, but with some differences. First of all, thetileshavepairs, so there is no possibility to remain with one at the end of the game, and you cannot blocktiles. If in Mahjong you made a wrong move, in the end, you were left with blockedtiles, in Taptiles, this is no longer applicable.

Because all thetilescan be accessed, the game relies on another aspect: speed. In the normal mode, you have to matchtilesagainst the clock and clear as many puzzles as you can before the time runs out. Also, for relaxation purposes, there is the Zen mode where there is no time, and you can just matchtilesat your own pace.

The graphics of the game are very good, the backgrounds change periodically and create an atmosphere that resembles all four seasons. Also, the music is relaxing, so you might consider it a relaxation game, more than a competitive one. Of course, there is still space for competition, thanks to the Xbox live integration which allows you to complete daily challenges and play against your friends.

Apart from this, the game is fairly simple, and the only outstanding feature that it presents is the 3Dpuzzlesthat allow turning on all sides. If you are looking for a game that can relax your mind on your break, then Taptiles is a great game to try out.
