I have never been good with languages. Actually, that’s putting it mildly. Still, I think this game has some serious potential as a fun Japanese language educational game! The introduction to the various forms of a word and it’s meaning is very well presented, and the little mini game after selecting a word is a solid idea for helping to reinforce the information!
That said, to be honest, I felt the primary battle game needs a bit of work. Functionally, I can see it’s all there, but I also felt like there was a lack of information regarding exactly what I was supposed to be doing. I felt like I was only muddling through the rounds. This is not to say the battle system was bad, but only that it needs more explanation, in my humble opinion.
Over all, I enjoyed the art and sound. The learning mechanics feel like their on a solid trajectory, and for a game developed in a 9 day jam, this is an excellently made game with some potential!
