π DESCRIPTION π
okay so kanatest is a simple hiragana and katakana drill game, and fr fr its whole job is checking your knowledge of Japanese kana characters. like, it's a quiz but make it cute π
there are three drill modes, and you gotta pick your fighter:

- katakana mode β katakana charset only π¦
- mixed mode β both charsets, no skipping, main character energy π
here's the gameplay loop, and it's giving study buddy: the tester shows you random kana characters and then just... waits. patiently. until you enter the romaji equivalent in an entry field π so you type it in, and that's the drill. at the end, statistics are provided β yes bestie, you get your receipts πβ¨
