About Japongese
Learn to read Japanese Hiragana and Katakana by playing this game!
Hiragana and Katakana are a phonetic based writing system in the Japanese language. It is the equivalent of the English alphabet, and is considered the foundation for learning the Japanese language as a whole.
Translate the Hiragana/Katakana characters to move paddles and keep the ball bouncing as long as you can! The ball starts out slow so even beginners can play, but it speeds up and adds obstacles as the game progresses, keeping it interesting for even experts of the language. Whether you're trying to learn Japanese from scratch or improve your recognition speed with something a little more interesting than flash cards, this game is an excellent and fun way to practice!

Could have been better and the keyboard layout wasnt the most favorable as it takes time to get certain characters like す to ず. Also the ball always bounches in the same direction and it isnt randomized, taking the fun away from it sorta.
