Game Overview

Kanji de Puzzle is that rare Game Boy Color game that makes learning Japanese feel like cheating. You drop kanji pieces like Tetris blocks, but instead of just clearing lines, you're building actual words—mess up and the stack creeps higher, but nail a combo and it’s weirdly satisfying. I thought it’d be gimmicky, but after a few rounds, I caught myself recognizing characters I’d struggled with in textbooks.

The pixel art’s simple but charming, and the music has that classic Game Boy bleep-bloop energy. It’s not a full-on language course, but for squeezing in practice between bus stops or pretending you’re not studying? Perfect. Just don’t blame me when you start seeing falling kanji in your dreams.
