Fellow box character maker! I enjoyed your game sounds and the atmosphere music, jumping and lining up with the rest of the map is a little difficult. I'd love to see this updated where you can ride along things without having to be moving your character with the arrow keys.

The layout and overall design is interesting, it has a pac-man feel to it. It is hard to focus on any one particular thing though with the colors. I wasn't sure if the arrows on the ground were different directions I had to purposefully move in. Maybe try making the character player the bright vibrant color and toning down the arrow colors so they're more in the same color that the blocks for the map are.
I have to agree with the other commenter, A,S,D controls made the game frustrating but that could be interpreted as part of the twist. Would be a little more enjoyable if the obstacle fell a little slowly to start with the same controls or consider using left and right arrows and keeping the speed. This is a good overall concept.
Fun game if you’re trying to learn Japanese and want to get away from the standard grind of running through flashcards over and over. The rounds move a little fast but if you know what you’re searching for it’s a good time. The physics of the tiles pushing other tiles is an interesting element that’s added to the kana hunt. My only suggestion at this time would be to make the kanji at the top a little darker in color so it’s easier to see or maybe the kana overall a little thicker.
I really enjoyed this playing this! It was fun to try and figure out where to push everything without getting stuck surrounded by different objects. I had a little bit of a time trying to pick up objects at first but once I figured it out I also experienced the bug where I couldn't drop objects. I really liked the art style that you went with and the music was a great touch too.
