I have decided to
start a new series of small application reviews for the Ubuntu phone
and Ubuntu unity8.So Since I like to play the occasional game of
Mahjong I decided to review “Green Mahjong”.One thing I have
noticed which is neither an advantage or disadvantage is that you
should play this application either on desktop or landscape mode(if
you are on a phone).Note Since I don't have a BQ phone yet and Unity8
on desktop is still in its alpa/beta stages I will test most
applications on the phone emulator which does not support landscape
mode yet.
So what are the pros
of this application?Well I like that the author decided to use
realistic graphics instead of a flat design or some cartoon graphics.
Also Also the app has a choice of several different levels so there
is some re-playability. Another pro I have noticed is that the
application has all the features you would expect from a Mahjong
solitaire game.
The application also
has some negatives.As much as I liked the graphics in this game,the
shadowing on the tiles was too strong.And it might have been because
of the emulator but the application seems to be not very laggy,but a
tiny bit laggy. Another thing that I don't like is something that
most Mahjong apps even on other platforms don't have:They only
support Mahjong solitaire,there is no game mode for Mahjong Reach.
To summarize.I like
this application.I give it a 4.5.It is not a masterpiece but I can
clearly see that the developer wanted this application to be really
good.I can see the effort of the developer in this application.It is
free so if you want a game to waste 15 minutes while you are waiting
for something,download it.And the developer is actively responding to
user reviews.
