### 5/5 — 1 word

*2021-08-21*

PERFECT

### 5/5 — mr.

*2021-04-11*

I learned a lot

### 1/5 — Its bad

*2020-09-16*

I was looking for a game to learn pure japanese for school but every 2 seconds it loads for like for 5 minutes bruh

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-08-31*

This app is so poorly designed that I can’t even get to see its mains features. It locks me in the inventory section, where I still can’t craft anything, and the ‘back’ button doesn’t work, which means I can’t even play the game. Next time you want to attempt make a decent app make sure the user can get to use it. The way it is it made me lose my time with a useless  piece of junk

### 2/5 — Hello

*2020-08-10*

Put in option to slow the game down

### 5/5 — Great but

*2019-04-26*

Please slow down the game, or have an option to slow it down.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2019-04-11*

I LOVE the game you have produced. Its very helpful for beginner Japanese and it’s fun too. Would be cool if you added more into the game tho. Thank you

### 5/5 — Maybe the best app for learning vocab

*2018-09-08*

This is maybe the best app I’ve ever used for learning vocab, the simple game style keeps you focused and keeps it interesting.

Looking forward to N1 being implemented!

### 4/5 — Fun, a little too fast

*2018-02-21*

I enjoyed this game. It really forces you to recall kanji quickly. Sadly for me, the font was a little too small on the phone, and the pace of the game is not adjustable -I couldn’t read through all the choices before the time ran out.  I might get a lot more out of the game if it was closer to my ability level - with larger fonts on the phone and a slower pace option.
