Kou-Jong Guide.


This new game was released with the arrival of the Cyodrake's Gaze, and is described as follows:

Weary from your journey, you enter the young Kougra's ship cabin, hoping for a bit of distraction from the rolling sea. Instead of finding a refreshing cup of tea on the table before you, though, you see stacks of glittering, painted tiles. The Kougra invites you sit down and try her game, which she calls 'Kou-jong.' You begin matching the tiles, pair by pair, until the table is clear. As the Kougra starts restacking the tiles for the next round, you realize that you're beginning to feel quite relaxed. Clear the board by removing all the tiles. The tiles must be removed in pairs, which consist of two matching tiles that are both 'free' (with no tile partially covering it and at least one side unblocked). All of the paired tiles will be exactly identical to one another, except for the Flower and Season tiles. Put your strategic skills to use and clear away the tiles! Good luck!

As said above, the object of the game is to clear all of the tiles from the board, on three different stages, with three different difficulties.
A 'free' tile is a tile that is NOT surrounded on all sides, with at least one side that is not blocked by a tile.
Example: A tile on the left and right outeredge of the board is able to be played since one side isn't blocked, as well as with the corners.
And, a tile can also be played in the middle if it is not surrounded on the left or right side.
If this still confuses you, just neomail me.

Beginning the Game.



The infamous title page. Pick whichever choice you wish.


Here at this screen, if you chose 'Play Game', you get to choose between the difficulties of Easy, Medium and Hard.
Each being harder than the previous. Obviously.

Kou-Jong Tiles.



The only two fan tiles in the game. Match type with type.


These tiles can be intermatched.


You must match the Cyodrakes with their color, and Pawkeet with itself.


Match each hands' directions.


You may also intermatch these.


Each food item must be matched with itself.


These must be matched with itself.


Uhm. Same goes for these.

Easy.



The easiest level in the game. No kidding.


The second easiest level.


The third easiest level.

Medium.



Slightly harder, but not too difficult.


Just a bit harder.


Just a bit harder-er.

Hard.



The first level of complete torture. :)


Second level of torture. Hardest of them all, in my opinion.


This is the third. It's easier than the second, but harder than the first.

During Stages, Inbetween Stages, after Stages and End of Game.

Matching.


In order to get a match, you must click two tiles; one after the other.
When your match is correct, they will glow green and disappear.


However, if you choose two tiles that don't match, they will flash yellow and red, and you must select two new tiles.

Hinting and Resetting.


When you are completely stumped and are not able to find any tiles to match, you may click the wonderful 'Hint' button in the bottom right corner.
When there are moves left, the match it finds will glow yellow.
However, if there are no more moves...


...You will get this wonderful screen.
It dictates you have no more moves, and must reset the current stage.
To so do, simply click 'Reset' in the bottom right corner.
*Sometimes, the game glitches and will state that you have no more moves, when in fact, you may have some left. Just continue as you were.

Finishing Stages, Difficulties, and beating the Game.


When you have finally cleared the stage you've been working on, you will get rewarded with this screen.
Just click the button to go on to the next stage.


Completing the third stage will display the same screen but...


...will lead you to this screen instead.
Just click the button and...


...you will be presented with this screen, the one you have looked forward to for so long.
You may now either send your score, or play again. All up to you.

Strategies.


As of currently, there are no secrets or codes that anyone knows about, so instead, we'll go with strategies.
1. When matching two tiles, do not wait for them to disappear. Instead, click the next match that you see.
2. If the level is taking too long and your bonus is getting too low, you can reset and hope for a better board.
3. Let your mind be faster than your hands. When you find a match, immediatly look for another one.
4. Work from the outside in.
And when you see two of the same tiles clumped together, eliminate them separatly.
5. Practice, practice, practice. :)
*Most of these strategies came from those I neomailed on the HST. :) Thanks for your cooperation.
