Press & Reviews
Kanji Drop
Hands down the best video game you can use to improve your Japanese learning. We rarely dedicate an entire blog to one app — this one earned it.
Kanji Drop
A great way to learn kanji for beginners and a fun alternative to flashcards for advanced students. Compatible with Anki, WaniKani, and Koohii decks.
Kanji Drop
An anti-stress for the eyes and brain — making learning Japanese through this game not only unique and interesting, but genuinely enjoyable and relaxing.
Kanji Drop — Player
You can really tell this game has a soul. So many functions, descriptions, quizzes, and stroke animations. I haven't seen a better app for this. So underrated.

Kanji Drop
Named a Top Puzzle Game to play during quarantine. A clever educational experience that never once feels like studying.
Chinese Drop
A fresh and effective approach to Mandarin character learning. Both traditional and simplified character sets in one beautifully designed package.
