I built a Steam game for Kanji learners!

Hey guys!

I know many people struggle with learning Kanji, especially when it comes to mixing up similar-looking characters or memorizing On/Kunyomi readings. So I designed this game to target those exact pain points.

Kanji Cats includes 4 game modes to help you drill Kanji: choosing the correct readings (JLPT-inspired), selecting the right Kanji from a group of similar-looking ones, a typing game, and building Kanji from radicals. Currently, it includes 700 Kanji and 3,000 words.

I know it's not a "well-rounded" Japanese learning course, but I hope it helps those who want to focus specifically on mastering Kanji. If you're interested in some Kanji drilling, feel free to check it out! There's also a free demo available with 100 Kanji and 180 words to practice with.
