Cute Mahjong Connect

Cute Mahjong Connect sets its menu in a grassy clearing, with a kitten, a penguin in a blue scarf, a puppy and a fox sitting around the title board. The tiles feature the same crowd: ducklings, octopuses, frogs, whales, pandas, owls and elephants.

The tutorial explains the rule in two steps. First, tap two identical tiles to match them. Then comes the one that actually matters: match identical tiles in under two moves.

That second line is the connect rule. A pair only clears if the line drawn between them bends no more than twice, so a tile with free space around it is worth far more than one buried in the middle.

Matching a pair clears both with a small sparkle, and the tutorial moves straight on to the next one, with a skip button for anyone who already knows how it works. The settings include ten languages and separate sound and music switches.
