Description:

Hi everyone! I’m working on Mahjong Rush, a single-player Mahjong-inspired roguelike deckbuilder.

The basic idea is: what if a roguelike deckbuilder used Mahjong tiles instead of poker cards? Instead of making traditional 4-player Mahjong, I wanted to turn Mahjong patterns into a single-player scoring and combo-building game.

One thing I learned from early feedback is that Mahjong tiles can be hard to read, especially for players who don’t know Chinese or have never played Mahjong before. So I recently added a beginner-friendly assist mode.

Now every numbered tile has a simple number label, different suits are easier to distinguish by color, and honor tiles have simple letter labels. I also added tooltips to explain tiles, effects, special cards, relics, and scoring rules. The beginner tutorial has also been reworked, so players don’t need to know traditional Mahjong rules before starting.

My goal is to let players enjoy the roguelike deckbuilder loop while gradually learning Mahjong concepts, such as sequences, triplets, pairs, suits, honor tiles, and different scoring hand types.

The game is not traditional Mahjong. It is more about building scoring hands, collecting special cards and relics, upgrading your run, and trying to survive harder and harder tables.

I would really appreciate feedback from people who don’t know Mahjong:

Does this look readable now? Would the numbers, colors, labels, and tooltips help you understand what is going on?

Hi everyone, I’m the solo developer of Mahjong Rush.

Mahjong Rush is a single-player Mahjong roguelike deckbuilder inspired by the scoring-engine feeling of games like Balatro, but built around Mahjong hands instead of poker hands.

We support English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc, 11different languages in total.

You don’t need to know Mahjong to play it. One of my main goals was to make the game understandable even for players who have never played Mahjong before. You build your score with Chows, Pongs, Kongs, Flower Cards, Talismans, Relics, and different hand patterns, then cash out with a Chips × Multiplier payoff.

The free Steam demo is live now, and I’m mainly looking for feedback on whether the game is understandable for players who don’t know Mahjong, whether the first run becomes fun quickly enough, and whether the scoring and combo moments are clear.
