Some Features

• Play over 15 Levels - Be introduced to a new set of hiragana/katakana characters for each level. Learn and memorize them well as each subsequent level will contain characters that were introduced in previous levels.

• Learn Kana Pronunciations - Each level, the set of hiragana/katakana characters that are introduced are paired with audio clips (provided by Learn Japanese Adventure) to listen to.

• Customize Your Own Levels - Oftentimes, you want to practice certain kana characters or words from certain topics such as colors and food. This feature allows you to practice them in the same fun manner.

• Practice Vocabulary from the JLPT - Studying for the JLPT (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test)? Have the option to practice vocabulary from any of the proficiency levels (N5 - N1). Enemies will be accompanied with furigana so you can learn the kanji too! Optionally, you can choose to display only the kanji to really challenge yourself.

• Showcase Mastery of all Kana Characters - In an endless game mode titled Kana Blitz, you can test the breadth of your kana character knowledge as enemies will continually spawn with a Japanese vocabulary word attached to them. How many enemies can you eliminate?

• Play the Kanji Game Modes - Want to learn the 3rd and most complicated writing system? Play the extra kanji game modes like Customize Your Own Kanji Level or Kanji Blitz to level up your vocabulary skills!

Thanks for pointing that out! Steam link should be fixed.

I'll make an effort to see if I can make a web version. I think I definitely should be able to. I'll keep you posted.

The web build should be good to go! I'll release it here when the game releases on Steam.

EDIT: Ah, so i just realized all web builds on itch.io will automatically be free which is unfair to users on Steam so unfortunately I can't upload the web version. However, I did upload the Windows/MacOS files if you are interested.

Fantastic to practice my japanese reading skills without the need of learning kanji!

Hey, another Japanese typing TD!

Interested in following along to see where you take yours. I like the focus on learning rather than practicing, and typing to directly attack enemies is really fun.

Another Typing TD project has also just sprung up here: 

With some really cool ideas for mechanics, and may have been inspired by my own game Taipo.

Cool time to be alive and a typing game enthusiast / japanese-learner.
