Mahjong Time

Mahjong Time is proud to announce the immediate release of EON 2.3.Beta

Mahjong Time is pleased to announce the public release of its EON 2.3 Beta. For the last few months, we have been very busy improving the appearance and the performance of the game. We have named this release ‘2.3 Beta - Action Menu’ because the most striking feature of this release is redesigned action menu that players use to call pass, pong, mahjong, tsumo, etc. and now it is ready for thorough testing and scrutiny. We are searching for honest, sharp opinions from knowledgeable people like you in order to tell us what we are doing wrong and, hopefully, what we are doing right. We want to build something that players will love to use as much as we are enjoying in building it, as simple as that!
The key features of EON 2.3 Beta release:

Action Menu
The new menu replaces the call buttons at the bottom of the screen with a streamlined and intuitive new pop-up menu. The new menu naturally speeds up games without compromising functionality, and does not block view of the table, allowing for a more zoomed-in immersive experience.

Move Timer
The new menu also features a move timer that is presented as light dust draining from the call menu. This dust provides at-glance information to players about how much time is left in their turn to move. Moveover, the new menu frees up more room on the screen, which will allow for a more realistic, unobstructed view of the table during the game.

This update allows the game to be played solely by using your keyboard alone!
