The game speed gradually increases, as the level rises.

Hiragana characters will come falling from above. Type the romaji for the lowest hiragana on the screen.
Hiragana from the A-row will drop first. Then the number of hiragana will gradually increase, including those from rows Ka-, Sa-, Ta-, and so on.

When a hiragana drops to the bottom, it's game over.
Can you finish the game without dropping a kana?

Click the three lines at bottom right of the screen and press QUIT to return to the first screen.
From there, you can change the level or play a katakana game.
