Shisen-Seki (四川石), Shisen-Sho game
shisen-seki [1] is a Japanese tile-based game called Shisen-Sho (四川省) [2], similar to Mahjong solitaire, such as Xmahjongg [3].
The rule is simple, you can only match tiles if you can draw straight lines with two 90° turns at most.
Features:
auto-save: quit anytime and continue later
Practice mode
2 game type: 1) classic and 2) gravity, tiles will fall down
2 generation algorithms: 1) reverse, high probability of solvable board 2) random, like rolling the dice
Show stone rank: [space]
Music and sound
Highscore: 2 type * 2 algorithms = 4 categories
Matching animation
Menu: options, help, score, credit
Support keyboard, mouse, and joystick
There are a few things I think it can improve:
Only two resolutions (320x240 or 2x scale to 640x480), it's tied with its tileset image, that size is a bit too small in these days.
Keyboard only works in the actual game playing, not fully worked in menu, you can't select or cancel.

The recording of gameplay part was sped up ~7x. I mixed the game music later, which is listed below, I didn't want to speed it up.
