About the Game

About the game

Many Kanji characters can be created by combining other Kanji characters.
Watch as the Kanji assembly factory automatically moves through the game!

Game Flow

There are two modes in this game: "Stage Mode" and "World Mode

Introduction of Stage Mode

The game progresses in stages.
When you start the game from the beginning, the stages are automatically generated. You can play over and over again!
When you complete a stage, you can choose from three different machines to get the one you want. Predict the machines you will need in the next stage and strategically collect the machines you have!

Introduction to World Mode

The player becomes the manager of a Kanji factory.
The objective is to purchase a factory site and grow the factory.
All machines are leased, so you must pay rental fees at regular intervals.
To make money, you need to sell more complex Kanji characters.
Make more complicated Kanji characters by increasing the number of machines that can be rented by delivering the specified Kanji characters!

How to create a factory

1. place the generating machine. This machine will generate the specified Kanji characters at regular intervals.


2. place the assembling machine. This machine takes two adjacent Kanji characters and assembles them into one Kanji character.


3. place the delivery and redemption machines. You can clear the stage and earn money by using these machines to deliver the Kanji characters specified for each stage.
