Earthlingo

Quick capture of vocabulary. Tested to learn Arabic and Russian, the recall mechanism is good.

idk why it says i only have 0.9 hours on record but i have a good handful more than that. anyway this game is a nice resource being free. it's a bit janky but really who cares. if you've looked at a game like shashingo imagine one that actually has way more content. idk if this will get more updates but just download it run around and get some basic vocab in. because, just like shashingo or wagotabi or other beginner games they're meant to be done with fairly quickly. you should move on to other forms of input and output and what have you. i don't know if im afraid or anticipating the day a big studio comes in and makes a game like this with even more vocab that's less jank and steals this format's swag

I've only given it a short time so this review doesn't carry a lot of weight, but I couldn't really play for longer. Trying to learn Japanese, I made the mistake of playing a minigame which has you serve customers what they want to eat. Not only does it not tell you what you're supposed to be doing so I thought something was broken, the game expected me to have memorised what I'd learned in there even though I was playing just based on homophones. Recognising 'piza' is one thing, remembering how to spell 'I would like' in japanese is something I hadn't put any concious effort into and now I needed to know that just to heal myself. That's not a massive deal by itself, but it feels like the game is flooded by little issues like that. I can't see kanji (linux issue?), the interface is clunky and unexplained, the game says 'wa' but expects you to say 'ha' without explanation, the game prioritises romanji which can be detrimental, there's just way too many issues for 0.3 hours of play and it doesn't even feel like this is an effective way to learn.

Wasn't able to select language except 'English'

Really awesome

Fun learning game. Has some issues with clicking items, the accuracy is off. Other than that I find it a great tool to build vocabulary. Well priced to boot.
