    A simple match-tile game with farm animals, fruit, & veggies: each with a cute facial expression and matching sound effect. A Majong game for all ages. Audio/ Music: I not only enjoy the relaxing theme music, which reminds me of some of the themes in Disney Infinity, but I like the pleasing sounds the animals make when you find a match. There's a sound for running out of time that is not like a buzzer, but more of a sad melody. Little things like this add to the compulsion to keep flipping…

    This game is family friendly, and would be great for young kids. If I had my own kids or was caring for children I could see them playing it a lot. However, as an adult player I wasn't very entertained by this game. Tiles with cartoon style art of fruits, veggies and barnyard animals are matched against a background of farm settings. The animal tiles make sounds when you match them, which you can thankfully turn off. There are many varied board layouts, but I found it difficult to see which…

    Those who haven't previously played Barnyard Mahjong or Barnyard Mahjong 2 need have no fear of starting in media res without familarity with the series' lore. The conclusion of this epic trilogy (please let there not be another) allows new players to dive right in without issue thanks to that hoary gimmick, the amnesiac opening. Yes, you start the game not knowing who you are, how you came to be where you are, or what's going on. You end the game that way, too. All you ever know in…

    As far as Mahjong games go.... this is *BAD*. Bad art, repetitive annoying music, and the Mahjong in general doesn't have that nice relaxing feel that good Mahjong games have. Suitable if you're trying to teach your 5 year old Mahjong.

    I have played through every level of this game, and I can safely say that whether you like Mahjong or love Mahjong, you don't want this Mahjong. This game has very, very few positives to it: • The graphics are kind of cute • The controls for the traditional Mahjong all work as expected, I only encountered a bug once where two tiles wouldn't match out of 640 levels, and it fixed itself by resetting the level. It's negatives are far more prevalent: • The music and sound effects are SO BAD. But…

    Super generic Mahjong that becomes worse/harder due to the pictures of farm animals instead. Can't really recommend this game. Rating: 2.0/10 Recommend Price: $0.01

    Hey everyone and this is my review about the game! This is a puzzle game. Interface/Menu/Settings There is none. About the game. You have to match 2 of the same stone so you will get some points and space to other stones. You are only able to match stones that aren't connected to other stones or are higher. So if there is a stone in the middle. And there is one on each side, the stone in the middle can't be used or matched. So you have to use the stones on the most outer sides first.…

    Audiovisuals are quite bad. It's a standard Mahjong game, but the game tries to make it irritating with unclear mahjong pieces, annoying audio and visual effects that distract. Unsatisfying game that I do not recommend as there are many better mahjong games.

    Barnyard Mahjong 3, developed and published by EnsenaSoft, is a relaxed and content-rich entry in the long-running tradition of Mahjong solitaire puzzle games. Built around a charming farmyard theme, it takes the familiar tile-matching formula and presents it in a colorful, approachable package designed for casual players. Rather than reinventing the genre, the game focuses on accessibility, volume of content, and a calming atmosphere, making it well-suited for players who enjoy methodical…

    For the price it is a decent mahjong game with an absurd amount of levels (8 x 80). However the last 2 x 80 levels were 3D which I was really not a fan of.

    EnsenaSoft made a couple of Mahjong games. Unfortunately, they are pretty much the same. And I've tried four of them so far, so trust me. In the reviews: People seem to hate on 'em all. And I get it, this wasn't perfect by any means. But for a bored player, It is just good enough. I can see myself playing this in my retirement. Perhaps it was a bit 'overpriced' for its quality. But there's nothing wrong with this Mahjong. And that's why I'm giving it a positive review. I'm also giving this…

    This plays more like a Match-2 instead of Mahjong, except with annoying music playing in the background. And which parent in the right mind would teach their kids how to play mahjong at such a young age?

    I can't recommend against it because it works and it's accessible for children to learn the game of Mahjong. Not for me, matching fruit/veggies & farm animals.. but it's for someone. Just don't spend too much on it...

    I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…

    Highly infantilized version of mahjong puzzles, obvious mobile game port and one with visuals which make it difficult to see which pieces are at what heigh. I've you've played one of those you've played them all, it's very basic gameplay with no innovations or improvement.

    If you have a need to find matches for barn animals like you are Noah himself, then this is the game for you. If that's not enough, what about 640 different levels to work through? Not only do you have your basic levels, but you also get into bigger amounts of tiles, PLUS there are two worlds of 3D! Yeah, that was fun for about 5 minutes before it got tedious. While the gameplay is very simple (match animals to each other), there are some things to know: cats, dogs and ducks can match any…

    Just a simple Mahjong game which is basically aimed for kids to play the way it looks etc. Nothing special, but I think if you have a kid around 3 years old he/she will enjoy it I guess. 2/10 Would let it run for trading cards again.

    Annoying sound effects, semi-annoying music, both of which cannot be disabled. The images on the tiles aren't very pretty, and if you make a mistake (when a puzzle is no longer solveable) it just shuffles the pieces. This Mahjong game is too simplified.

    Barnyard Mahjong 3 is a routine mobile ported Mahjong game with a "barnyard" theme. The traditional Chinese tiles have been replaced with various barnyard animals and crops. I don't know anyone who wants to play a Mahjong tile matching game but needed it to have pigs and cows on it. This is not a sensible "enhancement" to the game. Other failings here include fixed resolution and the usual weak hangups from being mobile ported. And of course it's from EnsenaSoft, so you know it's…

    This is a matching game with 2D and 3D boards of varying complexities. Not my cup of tea, but then I think it was intended with a pre-teen audience in mind. If you are young (or just young at heart), like mahjong and want to relax in a sedate, cartoonish setting, give it a go!

    At first I was really skeptical to even try a game by this title, but it is not bad and quite enjoyable. The feature I like best when compared to other Mahjong titles is the tiles will get shuffled if you are in a losing situation, i.e. no remaining matches, instead of the game just ending. It can be difficult to see which tiles are on top of others which is my only real complaint for Barnyard Mahjong 3. Overall 6/10

    Soooo... it's got a problem. Well, it's got two problems, in different areas. The first is in the regular game: it's Mahjong, but slightly more annoying. As in, the barnyard aspect basically means "Every tile plays a slightly-annoying sound effect when removed". Which is bad in itself, but when that's ALL it has over a typical free Mahjong game, it really makes you question why you're buying this. The second is in the 3D mode: it's not Mahjong. It's "Spot the pairs". Basically, imagine Mahjong…

    https://youtu.be/hvASFzkgwRw Throw on some overalls and get out into the fields because it's harvest time at the Mahjong farms! Match similar tiles attempting the clear them all in the fastest time, all while enjoying awkward animal/vegetable noises. The 3D levels add a new approach to the formula but strip out any of the challenge since all the tiles are accessible from the start. The visuals are a bit too simple occasionally making it hard to tell which tiles are usable or not.
