  • Would love for some incremental levels where we only have to learn a few hiragana at a time. Otherwise this looks really great and could definitely be on the app store now! --- 32/40

I like the RPG element you added to learning/practicing Hiragana! (Also want to point out that Hirigana is misspelled) I think it's a neat little game that would work well on mobile.

Maybe you could add a level system for each Hiragana column (for example, あいうえお for level one, かきくけこ for level two, etc) so the player can sink in the material incrementally.

Thank you for playing my game! I just realized I misspelled it consistently throughout the project, so thank you for pointing that out!

The tiering system you mentioned was another idea I wanted to implement but didn't have enough time during the jam. I kinda sank a bit too much time into the character recognition system, which took away from some of the core gameplay elements I wanted to add. しょがないだね 😂

The mobile aesthetic was also semi-planned, as I thought this concept would segue nicely onto a mobile platform once I've got some free time to start fleshing it out more.
