About This Game

MASTER HIRAGANA & KATAKANA IN A SNAP

Learn the basics of the Japanese alphabet with an interactive card-matching game. Kana Snap drops the bloat and incessant monetisation inherent to language-learning apps, turning the memory-making process into a primary or second-screen arcade experience that works across PC, macOS and Steam Deck.

Kana Snap can also be used as a simple reference tool for learning Hiragana & Katakana, with Text-to-Speech sound bites on macOS that help you lock the characters into your grey matter.

KEY FEATURES

  • 🧠 SRS (Spaced Repetition): Kana Snap tracks your hesitations and addresses your mistakes. Problem characters appear before you forget them.

  • 🔊 Native Audio (Mac Exclusive) On macOS, Kana Snap utilizes Apple's Text-to-Speech engine to provide native pronunciations for each character when you click on a tile.

  • 🔇 Visual-Only Learning (Windows): On Windows and Steam Deck, Kana Snap tests visual memory and reflexes alone. It's just you and the grid.

  • ♾️ Kana Snap has Two Modes!

    • Challenge Mode: Five lives and a ticking clock. Can you get through the grid before time runs out?

    • Endless Mode: Frictionless gameplay for meditative practice. No game overs or time-outs.

And last, but certainly not least...
