Struggling with Japanese kanji? We feel your pain.

Take a break from your flash cards and kanji writing notebooks with Kasui - and, in the process, memorize jillions (ok, maybe tens?) of two-character jukugo!

Playing is really simple! Swipe your finger horizontally across the screen to move the falling kanji blocks, tap on the screen to make them rotate, and swipe down to make them drop. Combine them with the kanji blocks at the bottom to make words and increase your score and vocabulary!

Kasui is free: no annoying ads, banners, or in-game purchases. Just drop us a note to let us know what you think!

Available for Android devices (for now).

• Mauro Persano: code, design, some graphics (the ugly ones).
• Mitsue Sumitani: design, ideas, graphics (the pretty ones).
