Kanjilicious

Score your hiragana, katakana and kanji skills by playing 60 second games. Work your way up a leaderboard and challenge your friends and classmates on Game Center. Game-based learning can increase your retention by 9%—so you can play more, study less, and keep improving your Japanese.

Kanjilicious is a rhythm game that will help beginners test their knowledge of Japanese characters—hiragana (ひらがな), katakana (カタカナ)—and now in this release—kanji (漢字). Learning games are a fun, efficient, and ultimately more effective method of memorization.

Features:

• Scoring based on speed, accuracy and streak multipliers.
• Game Center leaderboards for every level in the game.
• Game Center challenges, so you can compete against your friends and rivals.
• Story mode, original illustrations, and a randomized taiko soundtrack.

The hardest part of learning to read Japanese characters, as a child or as an adult, is memorizing the Japanese kanji required for reading. Beginners start in kindergarten with 96 kana characters—the native Japanese syllabary call hiragana and katakana—followed by 80 new Chinese characters—kanji—in the first grade. And thats just the beginning. Students memorize over 1,000 characters before they graduate from elementary school.

Far too many beginners quickly become overwhelmed and give up after the first year. With Kanjilicious you can play yourself into shape, and motivate yourself to keep practicing.
