ON SALE - LIMITED TIME!
Mahjong Solitaire in virtual reality 3D, designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Simple and intuitive touch gestures allow you to tilt and turn, zoom in and out in virtual reality, allowing you to more easily see the tiles on the board. The controls just get out of your way until you're ready to use them. The app launches quickly and always remembers your place in the game - allowing you to pick it up and play anytime, whether for a few seconds or a few hours. And because it is truly three dimensional, Moonlight Mahjong allows you to play elaborate (and fun) tile layouts that other "flat" versions of Mahjong Solitaire simply can't handle.
Relax, as there are no time limits (unless you want them). Just sweep around the board using one- or two- finger motions, and touch matching tiles to lift them away. Each board has a solution, but to find it requires both skill and an element of luck.
Moonlight Mahjong was honored as a "Best Board Game" on the App Store, and was in the original Best 100 Apps and Games on iLounge.com. In addition to being a relaxing game, it's a great way to show other people what the iPhone can do.
Features:
- Currently 90 built-in board layouts (no messing around with in-app purchases), with many more layouts created by our clever users available online for free.
- Fun three-dimensional, gravity-defying layouts that other "flat" variations of Mahjong Solitaire can't display.
- Select a built-in background, or choose an image from your photo library.
- Alternate tile sets: Alphabet, Flags, Night Tiles.
- Compete against other players over a home Wi-Fi network.
- Compete against an automated opponent "Robo-Player."
- Fast-paced "Scramble" mode, where the player who gets the most tiles wins.
- Realtime lighting effects.
- Built-in layout editor.

New Dimension Mahjong!
I got addicted to the Vista Mahjong and now I can take it with me, only better! I have trouble seeing which tiles are free. But Moonlight harnesses the power of the touch screen to solve that problem -- I move, rotate, zoom the board in 3-D to see it anyway I want. Thank you!!!
3D Mahjong Heaven
This app version of Mahjong appealed to me the most with their adoption of the 3D rendering of the tiles. You can twist the board around and fly over the tiles to get a better vantage and search for the matches you're seeking. It's simple and works great and really enjoyed their integration of multi-touch into the app.
Well worth the price
After trying the free 'lite' version I decided this was well worth the price for the full version. The touch controls are very well done and not gimmicky at all. I haven't tried any of the other commercial mahjong games, but the only thing I could ask for as an improvement is background music from your iPod library. Different backgrounds and tiles that other games offer would be nice, but wouldn't add that much to my enjoyment really.
