Version 1.10 - 2 New Custom Maps and Search Bar Filter Update

16 Feb

Hello everybody! I hope everyone is doing well. Small update for this one.

The changes:

Added 2 new additional custom maps that you can play for your custom sets or modes like JLPT Practice or the Blitz Modes
Refactored the logic for searching Japanese vocabulary in the search bar in some of the dictionary screens. Previously, you could only search via romaji prefix but now results will include words that have the search input as part of its romaji substring.For example, lets say I have words: kakimasu, ki, and dekimasu. Before, if I try to search ki, only ki and kikimasu will appear since both words begin with ki. Now, all 3 words appear since ki is a substring within dekimasu.

Thanks for playing!

Version 1.9 - Custom Set CSV File Importing and Exporting

23 Nov, 2025

Hi everyone,

I hope you all are doing well! It has been a while since I did an update. I have been busy with starting a full-time job + dealing with personal circumstances.

Custom Set CSV Exporting and Importing

In this update, you can now export custom study sets as CSV files as well as import them as long as they follow some formatting requirements. See details below.

Reminder of where you can access your custom sets

You can access the UI panel to add/view/edit custom sets through 2 ways:
1.) Main Menu -> Dictionary -> Your Custom Curated Sets

2.) Main Menu -> Play (opens the level selection menu) -> Build / Play Custom Study Sets

Exporting

When editing custom sets, you can now export them as a CSV file. There is a button below the Delete Custom Set button to do this.

Note that you should save any changes to your custom set before exporting.

The CSV file should result in a table looking something like this (shown in Google Sheets):

Importing

There is now an option to import CSV files from your local device when you are editing or adding a custom set. By clicking the Import CSV File button, you should see your file explorer pop up in which you can select a particular CSV file to import.

In order for the CSV file to import correctly, there are some formatting requirements. You can see them by clicking the gray info icon button to the right of the Import CSV File button which will display an example as shown below.

Header is optional. However, if you do include it, make sure that you include Romaji and Kana as header text
Romaji (as the first column) and Kana (as the second column) are required. Any row missing either one or both will be skipped when importing
Kanji (as the third column) and Definition (as the fourth column) are optional

It is suggested to use some popular tabular programs like Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel to generate CSV files instead of manually creating them in order to avoid any extra potential formatting issues.

Other changes in this update

Fixed a bug where changes to Custom Set words wouldn't save correctly

Thanks for playing the game!

Version 1.8 - Introducing Custom Study Sets

26 Mar, 2025

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well.

Custom Study Sets

In this update, you can now build and play your own custom study sets to help with your learning!

Where you can access your custom sets

As of this update, you can access the UI panel to add/view/edit custom sets through 2 ways:
1.) Main Menu -> Dictionary -> Your custom curated sets
2.) Main Menu -> Play (opens the level selection menu) -> Build / Play Custom Study Sets

What a custom set contains

For each custom study set, you'll be able to name the custom set anything you like, provide an optional description to give more context, and add words. For a word, you can provide romaji, kana, kanji, and a definition. Romaji and kana are required. A custom set also requires a unique ID.

Make sure that you save so your custom sets are consistent between play sessions!

You can delete any words from a custom set or delete a custom set entirely. Deleting a custom set will automatically save to reflect the changes.

Playing a custom set

Playing a custom set can be done by pressing the Build / Play Custom Study Sets button in the level selection menu. You'll be able to add, view, and edit custom sets here as you would within the Dictionary menu. Here, the only additional step is to click a valid custom set to play and select configurations at the bottom of the screen.

Other changes in this update

- Fixed a bug where the Level Review display did not show successful/unsuccessful words typed when playing special game modes like Customize Your Own Level.

- Added an additional menu after clicking on the Dictionary button in the main menu to help with the user experience.

I hope you will find this feature useful and feel free to reach out if you experience any bugs.

Thanks for playing
