Kanabun is a simple learning game of Japanese.
Use Hiragana on the game board and make as many Japanese words as possible to get high score in 2 minutes.
Although the rule is simple, the game is challenging.
If you are learning Japanese, this is the game for you!! Improve your vocabulary during just having fun.

[Reviews]
My elementary school kids got addicted. Although it is very simple game, kids can learn words with having fun with their parents. 4 stars (k-matsu Japan)
Awfully addicting. Dangerous. 4 stars (Kojima Japan)
I play most in the games that I have downloaded!! It would be better if I could play music in my iTunes playlist during playing the game. 4 stars (Shiitake-kun Japan)
