Please vote for You Can Kana in the Steam Awards!The Steam Awards are your opportunity to vote for your favourite games of 2021 - I'd be honored if you'd consider voting for You Can Kana.
I developed You Can Kana over 2 and a half years in my spare time, and it's the first game I've commercially released. The game grew from a small idea: "I need to be able to read my Japanese textbooks quicker", with the hiragana and katakana lessons coming later when I realised that beginners could also use a game like this.
Since releasing the demo I've added handwriting support, JLPT mode, and Training mode, and I intend to keep supporting and improving the game from here.
I think that You Can Kana presents a fresh approach to Japanese learning games - minimal, relaxed, and not overwhelming the player with daily streaks or unrelated gameplay.
If you agree, I'd appreciate if you voted for my game in the Steam Awards!
Thanks :^)

[ 2021-11-29 17:33:31 CET ] [ Original post ] Learn. Practise. Master.- Learn hiragana and katakana, the two Japanese phonetic alphabets.
- Quick and engaging lessons make learning simple.
- Improve reading speed and accuracy in Challenge Mode.
- Being able to read Japanese quickly will make learning the language easier and more enjoyable.
Features- Learn: Study hiragana/katakana, one set of characters at a time, learning sound and writing order.
- Practise: Read Japanese and type the sounds you see with the english alphabet to test your understanding.
- Master: Battle the clock in Challenge Mode. Type the words before they disappear off-screen! In order to get a high score you will need to read quickly and accurately.
Hiragana
- The essential Japanese writing system.
- Phonetic: each character represents a syllable.
- All words can be written in hiragana and many textbooks require the ability to read it.

Hiragana is also used in
furigana, a reading aid that displays the sounds of kanji characters.
Katakana
Like hiragana, katakana is a phonetic writing system.
These characters are used for foreign words (e.g. アメリカ -> amerika -> America / タクシー -> takushī -> taxi)
