Kana Rush — Learn Hiragana

Kana are falling from the sky — tap the right reading before they hit the ground!

Kana Rush turns learning the Japanese alphabets into a fast, addictive reflex game. No flashcards, no grinding: your fingers learn hiragana and katakana because you have no time to think. That's exactly how real reading works.

🎮 HOW IT PLAYS
A kana drops down the screen. Four romaji readings appear. Tap the correct one before impact. Simple to learn, hard to put down — and the more you play, the faster you read Japanese.

🗾 ADVENTURE MODE
A guided journey from complete beginner to confident reader:
• Start with your very first hiragana, a few symbols at a time
• Discovery levels introduce new kana at a gentle pace
• Speed-up levels push your reflexes on what you already know
• Progress through Hiragana, then Katakana, then real Japanese words
No prior knowledge needed — the game teaches you everything as you go.

⚡ ENDLESS MODE
How long can you survive? The pace keeps climbing with every correct answer. Three lives, rising speed, and a score to defend. Perfect for a quick session on the bus — or a “just one more run” evening.

🏆 CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS
Finished a run? Share your score as a challenge link. Your friend plays the exact same sequence of kana you did — same symbols, same order, same speed. No excuses, no luck: pure head-to-head. Can they beat your score?

📈 TRACK YOUR MASTERY
Kana Rush remembers which symbols you know and which ones still trip you up, and keeps serving the tricky ones until they stick.
