The Best Kanji Game Ever - Japanese Learners

I made this kanji study game in the style of a retro platform runner.
What I wanted to achieve was:
- to make the characters cute and interesting. I included an old favorite in Kappa, a strange creature in Amabie, and a tribute to my favorite Instagram Japanese teacher in "Snake-sensei."
- I also wanted to make the game user-friendly. To do this I included an input field so you can search for the specific kanji you're interested in, and I let you choose the kanji you see each time you play.
- I also wanted to make it short and sweet. To play through one stage takes less than 5 minutes, if you don't get any wrong. But even if you struggle, it won't take more than 10 minutes to get through one play through.
Japanese language learners - please play and enjoy! The browser version has the first three levels available, get the desktop download for unrestricted access to all levels (only for PC right now, hopefully Mac is coming soon).
