You Too Can Be The Tile Pitching Legend

          And to clarify, I'm talking about Mahjong tiles.  Yes, Mahjong, the four player table game that originates from China that's popular throughout much of Asia. And let me assure you that....while yes this is a joke,...it is also epically Rockman related.
        投牌伝説ムツキ (Toh Pai Densetsu Mutsuki:  Tile Pitching Legend Mutsuki) is a freeware game developed in Macromedia Fusion 2 for Windows OS.  While the game is a parody of the popular Mahjong series 咲-Saki-, it is a thorough homage to Rockman and it's excellent game play. Although this game was released back early of last year, it does not seem to have the notoriety it deserves.

          The game stars the most benign of side characters from 咲-Saki-, the stoic and serious
津山睦月 (Tsuyama Mutsuki).  And it is her quest  to succeed her soon to be graduating seniors in the school's Mahjong club by honing her mahjong skills over her peers to gain their "mahjong skills", ... through the tried and true Rockman style of beating them up and taking their signature ability.  And doing so by throwing tiles instead of a shooting solar bullets.

Honestly, they don't stop comming!
         It would be wrong to call this a Rockman style game, rather it IS Rockman.  The feel of the jumps, the speed of the movement, the pacing of foes and traps, the chip tune music, all very in step to what would expect in Rockman.  If not of the obvious increased color count and animation depth, I could of been persuaded to believe this game was some sort of ROM hack with how well the game physics engine replicates Rockman's. The game pays much homage particularly to Rockman 2 and 3, with nods and improvements over aspects found in those legendary titles.

"wahaha"'s van is the only
way to get over those dangerous spikes
       But at the same time, Tile Pitching Legend Mutsuki has a very distinct style and original flare all of it's own. Unike Rockman's Solar Bullets, Mutsuki's Mahjong tiles will actually bounce off wall, then fall down.  This offers a new challenge as you can now hit low foes with falling tiles, but walls also protect them from direct attack. There is recognition of slopes terrain, allowing for things like difficult footing on rocks and slopes.  Time the flow to best mow down the barrage of Mako enemies,  position the spinning chalkboard, ride the Volkswagen over the spikes. So many original aspects makes this game much more than some "rockman clone"  And all this talk is without me even mentioning any of the games bosses, or "mahjong skills" (weapons) you can obtain.  But I'll save that talk in a future article and those potential spoilers in a "capture guide" memo for Title Pitching Legend Mutsuki._

                 If you have a Windows OS or can run a virtual machine of such, I highly recommend this game. Again, you can download the game from the creator's special set up website for it:

Try beating the final four stages without using a parfait. Master that, and you will be on your way~ I really need to go and finish writing up that strategy and completion guide article,..
