Little Mouse’s Encyclopedia
I was conflicted on this one, whether to give a positive review or not.
First the positive notes: this is a nice educational program that helps to fill the gaps in the basics of flora and fauna.
I learned a lot of things I didn’t know, so I’m satisfied with that part of the “game”.
The graphics is fine and also the sounds, which really put you in the atmosphere of the forest, field, pond and garden.
So what is the problem? The problem is that this is not a game, lol.
This is an educational application, mostly for kids. It doesn’t offer anything else but reading.

I’ve got the game for my kid and he enjoyed it a lot. We first bought it on App Store but then I bought it here on Steam specifically to leave a review, so that games like this get better traction. If you’re a happy owner like me, I do encourage you to also support the developer in this way.
What I love about this game? It’s like a small encyclopaedia, making discovery of new facts easy and fun. I’m so, so tired of commercial mainstream “games for kids” that mostly exploit the love of children to the brands and characters already established in film/TV. Here, the game is like an open book inviting your kids to play with it in a variety of ways, always learning in the process.

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.

Game Of Puzzles: Slavic Mythology
A very easy, relaxing game with beautiful artwork. The main draw for me was its educational jumping off point to look into the folklore creatures more thoroughly elsewhere. The game play is a simple jigsaw puzzle block mover, and I got through it all in less than an hour on my first play through. I’ve gone back to it a few times when I’ve been stressed and just wanted a pretty game where I had no possible way of failing.
I think the game would be good for kids.

Ragnar’s Chinese Memory Game
Simple and effective to increase vocabulary. Better than flash cards because you can hear the sound. Only thing that would make it better is if it had a way to slow down the speech. And an option to hear a male or female voice.

I love this game.
Simple but effective.
I appreciate that it ships with traditional mandarin, and I would love it even more if it had Zhuyin spelling as an alternative to Pinyin.
The look and feel is very pleasant for the eyes, same as the audio tracks.
This game could be extended with additional playing modes for increased replayability, such as:
-
associate characters with their pinyin/zhuyin
-
associate characters with drawings
-
associate triplets (spelling, characters, meaning) instead of pairs

TraptionBakery
I was after an indie game for grownups which would challenge me but also be addictive and quirky. A pretty tough wish list, and I spent a long time looking before I found this game. It’s fiendish and quirky and humorous and very, very clever… Not sure if I’ll ever beat it, but… No, I WILL beat it - I’m not going to give up :) And it’s too addictive to stop playing, anyway.

TraptionBakery is an odd title – not sure if there’s anything like it on Steam. Reminds me of some simple, oldschool games where half the challenge was figuring out what the dev had in mind. The tagline on the game’s website is: “intended to amuse, relax, baffle and interest you for many days or weeks.” I’d say: it is amusing, it probably won’t be super relaxing, it is baffling, it is moderately interesting, and it may or may not last you many days. Still, it might be worth playing: read on.
