Haro/H Mode

Haro is the cursed nymph that gods and villains have plotted to commit you to training, and the story can't be told unless you play your role.

The H mode board is the easiest, with two small asymmetrical groups of tiles. The score is no longer by timing, and you can take as long as you want to clear it. Instead, the H mode is scored by the heroine's pleasure level, by doing tile matches in an order that scores specific combos. For beginners, you can ignore the score and just get a feel of the game.

Phases
The H mode is divided into 5 phases. You move from one phases to the next when you have cleared enough tiles for that phase (the number of tiles left to progress to the next phase is indicated in the upper right corner of the game board).


 * 1) Cooking - 24 tiles (12 matches)
 * 2) H preparation - 24 tiles (12 matches)
 * 3) H preparation - 24 tiles (12 matches)
 * 4) Insert - 24 tiles (12 matches)
 * 5) Finish - 16 tiles (8 matches)

Each of the phases (except Cooking) has a number of different actions to choose from. At the Action selection menu, the upper left lets you filter the actions by their associated H type, with V always pre-selected. Lower in the left column it shows the Rank, Level, Practice, and Maximum Locks for that H type. When you hover over each action, some may have associated Bonus Tiles (random each time you enter H mode) that show up in the lower right corner.

Scoring
Every time you successfully match a pair of tiles, the match goes into your "hand" (represented by 1 tile). You hand holds up to 4 matches, and when the hand is full, your hand gets scored then resets. Additionally, there may be up to 4 "lock" tiles and 4 "bonus" tiles that count towards your hand when scoring (see later sections for details), so the highest possible tiles to be counted for scoring can be up to 12.


 * Exception - "Seed" tiles do not need to be matched in pairs. Clicking on a single Seed tile "matches" it and puts it into your hand.


 * Point stacking examples
 * "4 of a kind" = "3+1 cards" = 3 + 5*1 = 8 points
 * "5 of a kind" = "3+2 cards" = 3 + 5*2 = 13 points
 * "7 card straight" = "4+3 card straight" = 4 + 3*4 = 16 points
 * If you have 5 matches of the same suite in consecutive, it count as "+1 Flush" and "+1 Straight" so you earn 5 + 8 = 13 points

This "base point" is then compounded by other factors to calculate Haro's pleasure score.
