I know I'm replying to a 2013 post, but I did produce an Anki deck for this game. However, as Darrell has a copyright on the kanji descriptions, not sure if it can be distributed.

Is there an anki deck floating around for this game by chance?~

I just googled slime forest and found a Gundam Wing fanfic where one of the characters plays Slime Forest to try to learn Japanese. :-D

A little cynical at times: "Forget your foolish fears of taking a chance and go outside, maybe take a few steps around, until you have a random encounter of love."

Also, I kinda want to talk to the maker of this game. He seems like a really interesting guy based on the sense of humor he uses in his explanations for the kanji.

Does anyone know if the game uses the updated Joyo kanji set? I've noticed it sometimes teaches ones that Jisho lists as not Joyo kanji, and the front page says the game has "nearly 2000" kanji while the Joyo set has 2128. If not, does anyone have suggestions for learning the remaining kanji?

:-) Overall good practice though.

It took me forever to figure out what key combination the game wanted for ¥Â as well. ^^;;

I am running into a bit of an issue at times because the kana list that the game is using is about fifty years out of date.

O.o

I spent a long while in Japan, and I assure you that there are two kana in the game that effectively don't exist any more unless you are reading pre-world war era books... And even then...

:P Once I looked up a chart that had them I was ok, but wi and wi and we do not exist on most kana charts, and do not really exist in modern Japanese. ^^;


So, people who are not total beginners are actually at a disadvantage in this game, and people who are total beginners are learning information that they may have to unlearn if they want to be effective with the language.

I've been having a lot of fun with TextFugu and WankiKani recently. Both are really really good :D
