Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This is very motivational - rather than treading water with quick "reviews" to keep up some arbitrary streak like in a typical language learning app, the incentive is to learn more to progress the actual story.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I would love to see more gameplay featurres as well as more prefectures are added.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
Works well on Steam Deck and with controller, though I think to get a decent speed score on some of the tests you're going to want a mouse/leyboard unless you're very quick moving a cursor around to select kana.

The graphics are very nice and the sound design is great, I love interacting with the animals and the sounds they make.
