It's great for practice with kanji. A game to pass the time and learn more at the same time. The kanji have audio with them too. The only thing that was hard sometimes is clicking things with my fingers. It doesn't seem to work all the time but using a stylus makes it better.

I think with a complete facelift and a few new features, this app could easily be better than most kanji learning apps. The graphics are horrible and the writing could use some editing/honing, but the gameplay is fun.

There are a few bugs which can make it annoying (buttons don't press easily) and the part "middle and center" needs adjustment because 2 out of the 8 words are both "centre". But some of the comments from the characters made me lol! Overall a great app but needs a little work. Hope I can retain the info long term.

Just starting out learning kanji and its a decent mini game to help with memorization. Not a replacement for actual stroke order practice, but good for sight reading practice.

Easy to jump into - enjoying it so far. Would only suggest that it would be more useful to refer to the kanji (memory tips) rather than spend so much time on the guide characters between levels.
