I’m actually finding the game really fun. I like learning random kanji and the fact I can guess words based off the context of the said kanji. I just wish I was actually able to use the settings though. I don’t want any romaji, but even with it selected off, I still see romaji. There seems to be some options locked under “while mid game”, but the issue is that the options never open up say if a game ends. I have no complaints about this game other than the fact I can’t customize how I see things.
Suprising
It’s surprisingly useful. I’ll let you know in advance that you will be utterly confused as soon as you start playing, especially if you don’t know kanji. I know that since I don’t know kanji at all. It does work surprisingly well though. You slowly learn the different kanji and what they mean. It’s also decently entertaining. Even if you’re not trying to learn, it’s the sort of game that you might just end up playing casually if you’re bored and want to be productive. Overall, it’s a pretty good game. It’s relatively fun and a good way to learn kanji if you don’t feel like memorizing everything.
Like Tetris + Kanji Learning, very clever 😊👍
It’s intuitive and fun way to learn Kanji! 🇨🇳
A little worried
Hey I love this app but I’m a little worried about the security. A lot of Arabic has been showing up in it and I’m not sure why things are in Arabic. I think the language settings are swapped or something because mine is set to English. If you want screenshots I think I can give that to you.
I’ve tried to change it in the settings but I still see nothing except English and hiragana katakana romaji.
Hope I can contact you and wonder if you guys could do something about this. Sorry if this is actually a feature.
Tries to make you spend money.
I only played one round. I haven’t even decided if I like it or not, and it won’t let me go any further.
Love it.
The game is fun. What’s more - it is linked to the best resource portal Kanshudo.
Constant crashes
It crashes all the time on my iPad 4. Please fix this
Crashes Every Time
That’s all I can say. I open it up, then it freezes on the 6 page tutorial screen that you can’t even disable or it just crashes. That’s it. That’s my entire experience. No idea what the gameplay is like or the education value because it doesn’t work.
THE BEST KANJI GAME ON THE APPSTORE
In this game, you get to make combinations of kanji characters to form various japanese nouns/verbs/adjectives, which you can study and favorite by pressing the star on its upper right. You can combine kanji radicals and make characters change their meaning to create new words, it’s wonderful.
As a new character/radical begins to fall down, a cute bubble sound shows up and the meaning of the word is read aloud.
No other app i’ve seen for kanji is quite as addictive as this fun, simplistic looking yet surprisingly challenging Tetris-style game. I can’t wait for a sequel to this, like a gradius or Star Soldier type game with spaceship/rocket that must shoot down the correct kanji character/word to succeed.
So wonderful
This app is great. For someone who is learning Japanese this is a great resource for me! It is so simple, but you can learn so much! The features are amazing! I especially like the story they give for each kanji/radical and all of the settings allow you to play at any level of difficulty, you can exclude words you’ve already learned, you can see only common words, you can pause the game anytime and look at the words you just created, which is what I do, and it really helps with the conceptual ideas of the kanji/radicals beyond just memorizing them. It even shows you how to write the kanji. There is like one ad every so many times you click the little dictionary and it’s fairly short too. The fonts are cool, they remind me of an old arcade game. There are even little images behind the kanji to help you remember them! At first I thought this game would be cheap from the picture (which is my only recommendation, get a new app photo for the store so it looks more appealing, if this game dies out I will be so sad!) but this game is so in depth and helpful and clearly someone put a lot of thought into making it. Thank you so much! Keep it up! Make more things like this!
