Blocks with Japanese Kanji on them fall and you try to eliminate them by forming words and and activating kanji-related powerups by combining them into more complex Kanji. It's a great way to learn kanji for beginners, a fun alternative to flashcards for advanced learners as you can import your Anki, WaniKani, and Koohii decks, and a fun game overall! :D There are also fun minigames and focused learning tools to keep you learning kanji and words as you play! This works great in conjunction with other apps and resources!
Tired of playing games where you spend a lot of time - a LOT of time - and have nothing to show for it? You compare yourself before and after and you're just ... less bored. Well, if you'd rather spend your time more productively and have fun, try KanGenius Japanese Kanji Drop where you - yes, YOU - can learn how to read Japanese without any effort at all! You'll find yourself in a relaxed state picking up a lot of kanji and words almost passively! No stress, only fun!
Japanese kanji are the ideograms found in Japanese that are kind of like letters, but represent an idea, like gold, fish, sun, etc.! Now learn them in this falling block puzzle kanji game where you'll find emoji to help you learn kanji, POWERUPS that relate to the kanji, and a fully functional glossary. You can even narrow down your learning list to kanji from the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) Levels 1 to 5! You can even review kanji from your text book lesson - Nakama, Genki, & Tobira! You can also play in a learning mode with more time between kanji! Learning kanji has never been easier or more fun!
Learn Japanese kanji by dropping blocks to make kanji and words! Make kanji from their parts and words from other kanji! Blow them up by making words or filling your limit meter and they all EXPLODE!
Learn all Japanese jouyou kanji for fun or proficiency. Every time you make a word or kanji, its meaning is spoken and you also hear the pronunciation of words. You also learn how to make kanji from their parts, just like in Remembering the Kanji, Vol. 1, by James Heisig. You can find a story from that book as well as animated stroke order diagrams and a list of your favorite kanji.
Open to all skill levels! It starts off easy and gives you hints when you're stuck. Keep playing and you'll find yourself recognizing more and more kanji!

This is a very good app for learning japanese, but there is a bug where during the animation when you press "next" in a word mini-game, and you press the x, then you cannot learn other words unless you close and reopen the app. Please fix this bug if you can ๐ but it's not too big of a deal. Also, please add your discord link here, the tinyurl link from kanji drop doesn't work.

Very complicated interface. Probably good review game for people who already know kanji, but terrible for beginners. I was completely lost. I did nothing and the blocks just formed words and kanji I didn't know, which did nothing to help me learn since I didn't have to do anything.

Great learning tool, but has extremely obnoxious 30 second long intermissions when the game thinks you're offline. Really hard to get past it, and ruins the experience.

Honestly not very useful for learning kanji :/ maybe a fun game if you already know them but useless for learning new ones.
