Mahjong Balbal: Tile Match

Mahjong solitaire with one twist: the tray. Take a free tile and it slides
into your tray; find its twin and the pair bursts. Fill the tray and the level
ends — so the real question is which tile to take, and when.

TILES FROM TURKIC MYTH
The marks are not dragons and bamboo but tamga: sky, birch, seal, wind and
fortune. Every chapter carries its own set — sky and wind on the steppe,
trees in the birch forest, fire and clan marks in the tent, water at the
white lake, stone and dusk at the barrow.

HAND-BUILT LEVELS
Levels are not randomly generated; each is built on a hand-tuned skeleton.
Early boards are low and open. Later the stack grows, upper layers cover the
ones beneath, and simply seeing which tile is available becomes part of the
puzzle. The tiles stay large: the board never shrinks them to fit.

FACE-DOWN TILES
On some boards a few tiles wait face down. Clear the way, tap to flip — you
only learn what is underneath when you get there.

THE ROAD GOES ON
When the hand-built floors run out, the road does not: you keep walking.
From there on you choose which floor's theme and which symbol set you play
with.

EVERY BOARD IS SOLVABLE
Boards are dealt with their solvability PROVEN: the layout is generated
backwards from a valid removal order. If you lock yourself out, Shuffle
always returns a solvable arrangement. When you lose, it was not the deal.

WHERE YOU LEFT IT
You can close the game in the middle of a level. When you come back the board
is exactly as you left it — the tiles you cleared are gone, and whatever you
parked in the tray is still there.

HELPERS
Shuffle, Search and Undo. Unlimited for the first ten levels, so you are not
counting them while you learn. After that they come from level rewards, daily
quests and rewarded videos — or as packs, if you would rather buy them.

THINGS TO COLLECT
The inventory holds every symbol, realm by realm, each with its name and what
it means; the ones you have not reached wait behind a lock. Achievements are
collected as posters — floor by floor, realm by realm.

SEASONS
At certain times of the year a separate road opens, with its own landscape,
its own symbols and its own rewards. The first is Nardugan — the return of
the sun at the winter solstice. The road opens chapter by chapter; each
chapter's gate is on the calendar.

FRAMES AND AVATARS
Hand-painted frames and avatars, earned through levels, streaks and season
rewards. The portrait you wear shows on your profile, on the home screen and
on the leaderboard.

LEADERBOARDS
One list with everyone and a separate one with your friends: the level you
have reached and your best single-level score.

DAILY AND WEEKLY QUESTS
Three each day, three each week. You claim the rewards yourself.

PLAYED WITH AN ACCOUNT
The first three levels need no account. After that you sign in with Google or
Apple, for one reason only: so your progress is not lost when you change
devices. Your password never reaches us, and you can delete your account from
inside the game.

BALBAL+
A monthly or yearly subscription: no ads, and five hints every day. It is
optional; the whole game is playable without it.


Payment is charged to your App Store account on confirmation. The subscription
renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the
current period ends. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account
settings.
