JLPT Challenge Mode
Building on optimisations from previous updates. Now the word picker prioritises words that have a high proportion of unseen characters, meaning less word answers in total should be needed to complete the skip. More words can appear on the screen at once now in this mode and there's less of a time gap between words spawning.
JLPT Mode is a new unlockable mode for You Can Kana that allows you to play Challenge Mode with a limited set of vocab, based on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. The aim of this mode is not to teach vocab but it can still be useful to practise reading words that are familiar, and some simple words can be picked up this way. Please note: I know that a lot of people want some kind of vocab-teaching mode. Currently I have no plans to implement this.
You should see this new mode available on the front end menu. Complete both hiragana and katakana campaigns to unlock access.
Before starting the mode you can pick a level, or levels, from the JLPT, to limit the vocab list.
The word picker will pick words at random from this list, avoiding showing the same word twice until the whole list has been exhausted. You can see also that both hiragana and katakana words can appear on the screen at once, which is more in line with what reading real japanese is like. I've been working on JLPT Mode since the game launched, and I know a few people have been looking forward to it. Please enjoy! James
