    - You also receive a chain bonus if you remove 2 or more pairs in rapid succession.
      - The base chain bonus score you receive is 300 points.
      - The longer your chain of pairs cleared, the higher your bonus, with the bonus growing larger as you progress.
        The number of tiles on each stage grows as you progress through the game.
        If you cleared the entire first board of tiles on a single chain you will earn a chain bonus of 7,800 points.
        The second stage is worth 10,500 points.
        The third level is worth 21,000 points.
        The fourth board of tiles yields 30,000 points.
        The fifth level yields 37,800 points.
        Levels 9 through 15 can earn up to 59,500 points.
      - Wait too long to make a pair and the chain ends. You will receive whatever points you’ve earned from your chain.

  - There are 2 ways to save your total score:
    - Play through all 15 levels.
    - End the playthrough after a game over.
- Assistance
  - You get 3 hints and shuffles for every level of the game. They get replenished each time you reload a level.
    - Selecting the hint button will show you any valid pair of tiles.
    - Shuffles rearrange the tiles on the field. This is useful if you want to make more obvious pairs.
  - Shuffles and hints are free.
- Strategy
  - At only 1 point per second, remaining level time is not very valuable in this game in terms of scoring pints, but the last couple levels have a short time limit and you must finish the final level within 1:30.
  - The time used to keep chains active is very important as the chain bonus will comprise almost the entirety of your score if you can keep a chain going throughout the duration of the level.
    - Since you can’t replay previously beat levels, if you mess up a chain you can refresh the browser window to replay the current level.
    - Shuffles and hints are free, so use them whenever needed if you feel you are about to lose a chain.
    - Periodically try to match tiles which are a bit further away on chains so that you have more time to make subsequent moves while keeping the chain alive.
Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like Mahjong Connect tile match games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
