Can I download the game with the Win8 Preview? I can't klick on the "Buy"-Button.

After making about 3 matches, it becomes laggy and unplayable. Then the lag goes away for a few seconds, and comes back.

Testing now if you can just use "hint" for all of it

EDIT: After closing the game several times, the lag problem went away.

You can just start with a hard puzzle, right click, and click on "Hint". Takes under 5 minutes and you'll get all the gamerscore

The fun begins won't unlock for me. Weird since I've won three games now and already have the other two achievements. Maybe it's my slow internet connection.

Edit: Nevermind! I restarted the game and it showed as unlocked even though the achievement never did pop on screen.

I have one comment regarding the minimum number of playthroughs. I went straight for the Hard puzzle. Upon completion of the hard puzzle, both 'The Fun Begins' and 'Mahjong Pro' unlocked simultaneously. After that I just changed the theme and I got 25/25.

Takes 5 minutes.

With a mouse, right click then hint. With your hand on the touch screen, touch the two glowing pieces. Rinse and repeat, I did it all in like 3 minutes.
