Typefighters (Steam Edition)
I’m gonna keep it very short and very.. whatever. I played this game a year ago and I took it again now just for fun xD
Well, I won only one thing in my entire life - European championships for typing speed or something like this. I mean, various titles in the same “competition” type XD
One can probably argue that this is one of the many causes that forced me to undergo surgery three times on my right hand, but this is another story.. xD
Well, I have always typed like at 700-800 characters per minute (NOT WPM, that means WORDS per minute! 800 words per minute I think not even an octopus). So this game was one of my very first choices on Steam.

This game has very great potential and I love the way it’s programmed. It has a very simple design, focusing only on the typing with no superfluous graphic distractions. The amount of modes is nice, and provides variety for those who want a simple game to play, and it also offers multiplayer options with people online. I personally play the Stream Mode, as it lets you know your WPM (since I purchased the game to help me type faster). HOWEVER. At the time of this review, I am VERY disappointed in the word choices: fake words, misspelled words, Roman numerals, acronyms, unnecessary apostrophes, proper nouns that aren’t capitalized, and way too many words about reproductive organs. I’m not sure if users are the ones who contribute to the word lists, but since you have to be online to play this game anyway, I think it would be better if the game just pulled words from an online dictionary instead.

JPN Burst
If you’re already familiar with Hiragana and Katakana and feel like you still mess up sometimes and want something to practice with. This is a good way to do it. I was feeling rusty on katakana so I grabbed this to do some drills and then went ahead and cleared out the hiragana sets as well. The one annoying thing was that everytime you beat a lesson/test it sends you back to the menu to select between school/home/whatever books you’ve bought instead of just bringing you back to the page you had been before.

A good Japanese learning game/software. I got it for free and I don’t know anything about Japanese language. Within an hour, I gained my basic knowledge about Japanese language and letters. The game is fairly challenging and will actually help you think harder, hence it will actually exercise your brain muscle about the language.

On Key Up: A Game for Keyboards
So now that the game has received all 24 levels and i went and redid the old ones(since they were all reset showing 1h in-game records but i had also wanted to try them all again anyways…) as well as did the six new ones from the latest update, and have 100%’d the achievements like… is this my 3rd time now? At least second. Glad i won’t have to do this ever again, enough Vietnam flashbacks gained by now. ;3 After all of this(and according to steam this new session of mine took about 3,7 hours, i know i most certainly haven’t played twice during the past 2 weeks :P)… i think it’s appropriate that i finally give this game a small review.

You Can Kana - Learn Japanese Hiragana & Katakana
Thank you for your game. I like it a lot, Your game has a great potency. I help me a lot on the journey remembering Hiragana and Katakana. By the way, I have some reviews after 20 hours as newbie Japanese learner.
1. Can you develop an timeless mode? We would like to read correct first, speed will follow later, and yes, we need time to read and also learn the meaning of the word as well instead of rushing to the other words or they will disappear.
2. A horizontal mode to change between the default vertical one would be great.

TLDR:
Recommending this to anyone looking to hone their hiragana and katakana reading comprehension and speed.
Disclaimer:
I got my key for free.
I was fortunate enough to get to make some UI suggestions here and there.
I had been studying Japanese prior for quite some time.
Wanikani, Genki 3rd Edition, and Anki.
You Can Kana is a great addition to the other learning tools as it’s the only one really drilling you in the basic alphabets.
I personally struggled a LOT with Katakana.
Now with You Can Kana I feel i’m far better equipped in dealing with the archaic translations from English to Japanese via Katakana.

I have verification videos above posted before the actual Onboard Lesson previews of the keyboard where I have typed on the well-known sites, Typeracer and 10fastfingers to prove my Typing Speed is legit. (Note: Anyone can type on these sites for free without buying the keyboard, just google them They’re great fun and a nice productive place to test your typing speed!) My Keyboard is compatible with multiple windows programs and not just with the onboard lessons that it comes with.
Are you faster than me? There’s one way to find out, come see & Type with me on the weekends (First to 10 wins).
I invite all to compete with me. — “Visit the Website” on the right side of this page to go to the Discord.
This is part of the onboard lessons that comes with the onscreen keyboard. I believe that everyone has the ability to type 90+ WPM, if they are trained using the correct method of Typing. Most Typing Instructors Neglect “Key Rollovers”, and don’t even mention them to their students.
What is Key Rollovers
Key Rollover is performed when 2 or more keys are pressed down simultaneously just milliseconds apart without lifting the previous key.
In a word like “land” All letters can be pressed down together and even held. If you hold them it will spell, “landddddd” If you held them down in the right order since the last key is repeated.
I transformed my Standard Touch Typing Skills with my onscreen keyboard that I developed using, the “Key Rollover” Method to help me soar above the 60 W.P.M. (Words per Minute) expectations that I was originally told was for successful Typing Students.
My Onscreen Keyboard comes with a wordlist broken down in motions, which encourages Key Rollover Training for around 1,000 Common English Words, 0/9 Numerical Keys, and Syllable Training, which contain Common Syllables that are found in over 5,000 common English words. I have also included the “grind software” which has a list of 100 names, some which are very difficult to type, it’s sure to help your accuracy if you practice using the practice methods contained within this program.
Why do we need to know Syllables in Typing? If you are familiar with the Syllable inside of a Word that is not in your Vocabulary then you can type the Syllables that make up the word instead, this will speed up your typing speed dramatically vs. writing each individual Keystroke as you see them, because it increases the speed at which you can process the word.
Do you want to be within the top 1% of Typists in the world also? Being able to Type at a speed of 108/126 W.P.M. for an entire minute is something only 1% of all Typists can do. In order to do this, you must train the correct way.
You will need to practice reading ahead of what you’re typing as well as following the “key rollover” training mindset everytime you sit down to type.
I will share some techniques, and secrets which will help you to improve your speed drastically.
Do you have a busy schedule? You will also get my Onscreen Keyboard App for Windows Xp, 7, Vista, 8, and 10. That I have developed to help people increase their speed at their own pace.
This Onscreen Keyboard is compatible with nearly every windows program, browsers, that can be run in windowed mode along side of it. You can practice good Touch Typing form while writing your e-mails, web browsing, playing games, or writing stories. It will monitor your Keystroke Speed, and it Displays the WPM result back to you in real-time every 5 seconds so you can keep an eye on your raw “5 Second Speed Burst” as you press them.
The Keyboard App has been created to help make everything easier for you while developing your typing skills and letting you type at your own pace.
Even while you are not typing, you can review which keys are for which fingers because it’s all color-coded.
Who this course is for:
People who want to be more productive, who want to learn how to Touch Type using the correct method using all 9 fingers without having to look at there keyboards.
Developers who wish to type faster, get projects done faster, and be more productive without constantly having to look down at their Keyboards.
Command Prompt, Pentesting, Hacking Enthusiasts who wish to increase their Keyboarding Speed.
People who spend a lot of time on Computers.
Researchers, imagine how many hours you can save while researching, and how much more Data You can Collect if you could type 3x faster than the Average 40 WPM that most Users Type!
That’s all… Join Me You Keyboard Warrior.
Typer Shark! Deluxe
Whether you know how to type or not, Typer Shark! Deluxe is a great purchase. It features a game mode AND a typing tutor mode, the former of which is a great defense/survival game that will keep you wanting more, while the latter is a straightforward typing instructor so you don’t have to know how to type beforehand. It is very engaging and addictive, put out by the same company as such games as Plants vs Zombies and Bejeweled. Despite the theme it is not scary or violent, and it works for all ages; you can also change your difficulty level, from Very Easy to Xtreme. The only downside is in Adventure Mode you only have 3 lives and once you lose all 3 you have to start from the beginning of Adventure Mode.

This game is a neat retro game. It isn’t great (hint, it would be great if an update were released) but it is fun for the kids. There should probably be an even more basic level for beginning typers when trying to descend into the shark infested waters.
Others have mentioned that when you quit the game on a windows machine it will still register as running. The only way to stop this is to look for the background program running labled popgame and end it manually.
However now we’ve encountered a new quirk. When opening the game that we purchased through Steam we are prompted with a message informing us that the free trial is almost over and would we like to purchase the game. I really hope we will not have to purchase the game twice to use it.

Fast Typing Master
font is horrible.
Too fast for most people
But I like the difficulty.
I average 90WPM
– Real player with 5.7 hrs in game
I will have to say, about the font choice–it is a bit difficult to read, especially in a time crunch. The R’s and A’s are too similar, as are the O’s and D’s, the K’s and X’s, and U’s and V’s. By the way, there is a typo in the description before the level starts–“disappear” is spelled wrong, as “disapear”. Besides all of this, the game has great potential. The graphics are simple but very well done, and the increasing speed of the words makes for a great challenge.

Nihongo Heroes
coming from someone that is N5 qualified and working on N4
1 its a good game
2 please dont give the answers for the vocabulary for EX the vocab at the top is written as blue/ao – stomach/i – train station/eki i think having the answer for the vocab is taking away from learning the word
3 all the monsters make the same sound when you kill them
its a good over all game my main complaint is the vocab giving the answers
– Real player with 1.1 hrs in game
This is one one of many games/resources I have for learning and practicing Nihongo. I ran through the first three levels and am impressed. What is great is that it does not use one consistent font for the kana - because they do look different to the untrained eye, as do any letters in a particular “font.” This adds a level of flexibility to the process of learning which is useful when some kana bear resemblance to others in different scripts.
I played about five hours of Japanese learning games today, between mobile and steam. This one was the last one of the night, and the perfect end to a educational night!
