Good if you want to have fun writing kanji

I hope development will continue, really. For a long time I looked for an activity that would actually turn writing the characters into a fun time, not expecting to really remember everything and all but just as a fun side activity in Japanese learning that isn't soul killing like flipping Flashcards in Anki. This whole idea of combining kanji writing with a beat saber like game is just genius really.
Please add some real music and make it an option to always display the Kanji meaning and not just after having written it. If you're in the flow you don't have time to focus on anything else than swiping so I barely get time to read the meaning afterwards for the 1 second it gets displayed.
