Cyclone Fingers

Hiragana fall from the top of the screen. When one reaches its key, type it with flick input — the same gesture Japanese phones use. That's the whole game. HOW JAPANESE FLICK INPUT WORKS Ten keys, one per kana row. Tap a key for the A-column sound; flick left, up, right or down for the other four vowels. Tap KA for KA, flick it up for KU. If you already type Japanese on a phone, your thumb knows this. If you're learning, this is the fastest way to drill it. THE KEY LIGHTS UP WHEN IT'S TIME Kana fall in three lanes that line up with the keypad. When one reaches its own key, that key lights up — that's your window. Too early or too late doesn't count. Pressing a key for a kana that isn't falling costs you nothing. THREE DIFFICULTIES - EASY: slow enough to learn the layout - NORMAL: a real pace - HARD: starts high and keeps climbing Every kana you clear raises the level. They fall faster and arrive closer together. Missed kana and mistimed flicks drain your health; run out and the run ends. Continue picks up from the level you reached. INCLUDED - 10 music tracks - 6 backgrounds, chosen at random each run High scores save automatically. No account needed. Note: this game is played entirely with Japanese hiragana. It doubles as flick-input practice for anyone learning to type Japanese.
