Having learned Kanji in the past month or two makes this I think a lot easier for me.  I don't really like the movement of the kanji on the catch screen -- it's too jaggy and random.  The goal of the game is more the edutainment of identifying the characters less so then trying to be able to click them, so I think the movement should be smoother and more predictable (I guess maybe you did that to fit the theme more?)

Developer

Hahaha, yeah. The nature of the movement is in par because of the theme. Having said that, I would like to smooth out the movement. Thanks for the review!

Really fun! Identifying and then tracking down the kanji rules! The way the kanji jittered gave me a bit of a headache and I think the kanji could have a background circle or something to make them easier to look at against the background, but altogether a great jam game!

Thank you so much for the suggestions

Good game! The core idea has a lot of potencial for a fun educational game. Keep up the good work!

It has the potential to become a very pleasant product, I recommend that you continue the development!

Didn't expect to see an educational game here! If it was more smoothly implemented, could be addictive!

Developer

Thank you so much Yozo! I realize smoothness is a big issue. Thank yo much for the feedback. I will try to update the game so that it feels way better.

I agree with GryphShot, smooth out the kanji and you've got a nice little educational game.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback Matt!

Adding a bit of smoothness to the letter shaking would make it feel a lot nicer.

Yeah, thats probably one of the biggest problems I had.  Wish I had more time to fine tune it. That and soundeffects. Thanks for the feedback though! Apart from that, do you have any other comments??

No problem <3

Neat game overall! Seems like it would be helpful if I wanted to learn Kanji. Educational games aren't really my cup of tea.
