About this game
Twinlight is a tile matching puzzle in the classic mahjong solitaire style, set at a cozy night market under paper lanterns. Tiles are stacked in layers. Tap two free tiles with the same picture and they fly together and pop. Clear the whole board to light it up.
A tile is free when nothing lies on top of it and its left or right side is open. Free tiles glow bright, stuck tiles are dimmed, so you always see what you can play.
Our own twists:
- The Pocket: park one free tile to open up the tiles around it, then match it later
- Blooms: flower tiles are friends, any bloom matches any other bloom
- Keys and locks: locked tiles open when you dig out and match the two keys
- Combos: quick pairs build a combo with climbing chimes and sparks
Three ways to play:
- Journey: 30 hand-made boards in three districts, Lantern Lane, Koi Canal and Moon Temple. Earn up to three stars on every board: clear it, skip the shuffle, and beat the star time.
- Rush: race the clock through board after board. Every pair adds time, quick pairs build your combo, and each cleared board pays a big bonus.
- Daily: the same boards for every player, every day. Come back tomorrow for a new run and keep your streak going.
Features:
- Every deal can be cleared: boards are built by playing them backwards
- Big, readable tiles made for a phone held in one hand
- Gentle helpers: hints, undo and a free shuffle when you run out of pairs
- 40 hand-painted tile pictures in four color suits, from koi and lanterns to owls and teapots
- Soft night-market music and satisfying tile sounds
- Short levels for a quick break, longer ones when you want to sink in
- Plays offline
Easy to pick up in a minute, calm to play, and tricky enough to keep you coming back for three stars.
