### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2019-07-01*

This is a standard match 3 game, but it comes with no instructions. Additionally, not all of the Hanzi are correct. The game has 北 listed as South, when it is actually the Hanzi for North. The sound effects are also pointless. It would be more beneficial for the Hanzi to be pronounced when you match them properly. Displaying the pronunciation on the bottom of the screen is clunky, especially since it names the Hanzi you touched last, not necessarily the one you matched. This is not beneficial as a learning game because of this.
