Kanji Collect!

I think the game’s idea is good, but there are a few things missing: A complete list of collected kanji, including their readings and example words and sentences A save point in Adventure Mode (especially for levels like N1 and N2, where the kanji list is quite large) Kanji writing practice The ability to access the notebook from the menu (currently accessed with the Q key in-game) Some kind of system, similar to Anki, to help memorize words formed from the collected kanji

Settings are non-existent. No option to toggle head-bob, no option to adjust mouse sensitivity, no controller support (which means looking around spins you in a circle at high speed due to the lack of sensitivity adjustment); for some bizzare reason when you walk diagonally your character does this big side-step leap. This all comes together to give you a sickly sensation within seconds of starting the game. I'd never be this means to an indie game unless it was a cash grab, which this seems to be. Most importantly, though, the concept isn't great. There's a TV and it gives you readings, then you need to walk around a classroom and pick the kanji that matches the readings. Just buy a kanji workbook and a check sheet, you'll learn faster and won't want to spew.

This is a very good game, if you would like to learn some kanji in a fun way. I really enjoy playing it, as it is quite relaxing and it helps me to learn effortlessly. That said, of course this game cannot be your only source of knowledge if you are serious about learning the Japanese language. But at its current price tag its definitely worth it and a very nice addition to your main learning materials. There is one "negative" feedback that I would like to provide about the game. When I play video games, it is important to me how my character in the game looks and feels. Therefore it would be nice if you add some more character options, so that I can pick the one I like the most. Perhaps even something as simple as having a few options for the face of the character. Or some simple customization like - having a few options for eyes, hair, nose and mouth. That is something I would really love to see in this game.
