About

BUSHUT!

Features
Read full description

Every kanji is built from parts. 日 (sun) + 寺 (temple) = 時 (time). Three 朚 (tree) make 森 (forest). BUSHUT! is a puzzle about snapping those parts together. ■ Two ways to play · Drop — tilt falling parts left or right and stack them · Slide — move the parts already on the board into place ■ 167 stages Both modes share the same 167 stages. The further you go, the more parts you have to work with — and the more characters you can build. The first 30 are free. ■ A dictionary of 1,240 characters Everything you build is kept. On-yomi and kun-yomi readings, the radical, the meaning — plus Mandarin pinyin, Korean hangul and Sino-Vietnamese. You can also search backwards: pick a part and see every character you can build from it. ■ The same puzzle for everyone The daily puzzle is identical for every player. Retry as often as you like and compete on both moves and time. ■ Three difficulties Endless comes in Easy, Normal and Hard. The harder it gets, the less the parts roll — and the harder it is to land them where you want. ■ 17 languages Japanese, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, Turkish, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew and Hindi. About ads: a small banner sits at the bottom of the screen, and you may watch a video ad when starting stages, past dailies or an Endless run. A single purchase removes all ads and unlocks every stage. Kanji dictionary data: KANJIDIC2 © EDRDG (CC BY-SA 4.0)
