Genuinely fun game

Good music and a fun game, even without the Japanese it's very entertaining.
Amazing!

This game is addictive! And I'm getting my hiragana down faster than ever before!
Learning

My one and only issue is that sometimes, you don't get enough time between hearing and doing the rhythm to read the characters. As in: immediately after she says the rhythm, you have to repeat it, with almost no time to read the choices. Other than that, I do like this app and plan on getting the full version in the future. Suggestion: Allow us to customize our own stages so we can choose the mission, kana, music, etc. and so we can learn at our own pace.
Fun and it works

Wow! It's a side scroller old school game, with beats, rhythm, and music. So fun! And it really helps you remember hiragana. I have one issue, but it's a minor one. On the levels where there is a light colored background and the type is white, it is very hard to read the characters. I hope that they update and change this issue.
Rhythms are too complex

I can't get past the vowels and I know my hiragana vowels! The rhythms are too complex and lack a simple downbeat. The lesson becomes the beat and not Japanese.
Amazing game

This is the best game to learn hiragana. Nice sound design and amazing level design to slowly learn more and more hiragana. Love the music too and easy to learn controls. Pixel art is also amazing
Good to learn but hard to play

The whole point of this game is to learn Japanese characters, which it does a good job of. However, the gameplay sometimes feels impossible since you have to be able to find the right character in a split second from a cluster of 5+ characters that sometimes look very similar to each other. This would be ok if you were allowed to move on to the next level with a low score for that previous level, but this is not the case. Please work on the timing, this game should be designed for human players not cpu!
Not the best for learning languages.

Pixel Party review It's fun, but it focuses more on being a game than a learning tool. 1. no backup of data. If you need to reset your iPad, then you need to do everything all over again. 2. Timings are too strict for a language learning game. You have to focus more on the beat and when to press. If you are too late, or too soon then you get punished for it, even if you got the correct sound associated with the correct character glyph, and in the correct order. So you must forgo the importance of learning the letter and instead get the beat down. 3. Inconsistent lead. You get an audio and visual preview of what letters are to be pressed before you need them, but sometimes you only get half a second after the preview ends to press them, or you get several seconds...this inconsistency is fine for a timing game but not when you're learning a language. 4. Forces romain letters on you. Learning hiragana is about learning the Japanese symbols and the sounds associated with them. This app decides that they want to force you to learn the Sou do associated with the English letters. Which is f me if you're looking for it, but if you want to learn Japanese then they are complicating the process considerably. This causes me to get turned around when I keep seeing things like "e" in English, but I hear the Japanese "I" instead. So when it comes time to actually see the Japanese character I get them turned around and mixed up. 5. Wish it had endless mode. You get a perfect score for good timing, and not pressing more than necessary. If out the entire song you miss 1 thing but nail the rest then you don't get rewarded with a 100. I wish it gave you the option to keep the song going until you made it a whole 30 seconds or minute without messing up. Then giving you a perfect score. 6. Needs profiles. I don't want my son's progress to interfere with my own score keeping. If I progress and get 100 on a song, then his score gets overwritten and forgotten. 7. Sometimes the preview doesn't play any sound when it should. The feature mentioned in #3 will sometimes glitch and not play the sound associated with the character. Not to be confused with levels and songs that do this intentionally. 8. Music can be way to loud. In the options you can turn the volume of the music from max to minimal; however, it's still very loud.
