It’s a kana drill! It’s a rhythm game! – Hiragana Pixel Party Review

This game was, for me, the most effective way to learn to sightread hiragana and katakana. It drills a combination of kana, English text, and spoken audio across a gradually expanding library of characters... But you hardly notice, guiding the pixelated heroine across vibrant apocalyptic landscapes to a buzzy chiptune beat. It’s equal parts kana tutorial and genuinely challenging rhythm game, which means that some levels may require rhythm or memory skills that even a native speaker would find difficult. But the challenge keeps you working at the edge of recall, in a way that flashcards simply can’t match. Fortunately, you don’t need to complete all levels to advance — and if you are able to finish all levels, you will know hiragana and katakana cold.
