I wish clicking the characters will have the pinyin pronunciation spoken, that would be great. The TTS at the dictionary section only have the English section working which also broke the game whenever I tried to end the session. I would definitely pay if the devs decided to improve the game. I played this game with another application open to learn the characters.3 found this helpful
Chinese Characters is a casual puzzle game that turns the enormous variety of written Chinese into the foundation of a simple but distinctive matching experience. Developed and published by 伏生游戏, the game combines traditional tile-clearing mechanics with an appreciation for Chinese writing and culture. Instead of presenting characters merely as visual decoration, it makes them the objects players constantly observe, recognize, match, collect, and eventually examine. The result is a game that feels approachable enough for casual puzzle fans while carrying an educational flavor for anyone interested in Chinese characters. The basic rules are easy to understand. A stage presents layers of tiles containing different Chinese characters, and the player selects accessible tiles to move them into a temporary holding area. This area can contain only seven pieces, creating the main source of pressure. Collecting three identical characters removes that set and frees valuable space. Clearing every tile completes the stage, while filling all seven positions without being able to form the necessary matches can bring an attempt to an unsuccessful end.

I am Chinese
this game has simplified mandarin, no way to use traditional mandarin ? thanks
fun for what it is, very calming, would be more helpful for memorising characters if there was pinyin / definition in the game field, once I get past characters I know I'm just clicking shapes (which is still fun) thank you
Basically a simple "remove the heap" game, with Chinese characters instead of e.g. Mah Jong bricks. UI is mostly Chinese only, there's a short tutorial how to unlock some subtitles. Most options stay without translation. Sometimes hard to spot if one brick's border clips another, blocking the second one; but there is an undo button. Wastes a huge multimedia opportunity - the game itself is view only, thus limited on pattern recognition. No option to invoke sound or meaning of the characters while playing. Dictionary's audio also seems broken, especially when using a language option. Also you need to unlock characters to access them in the dictionary. What could have been a nice way to playfully train and deepen Chinese characters is so almost useless. On the other hand is is free.
