The actual Kanji Universe iPhone game: Water, Tree and Fire creatures in a floating grove, with a Let’s play button.

Meet. Make a plan. Bring it to life.

A puzzle with personality.

You can follow the creatures before you know a single kanji. Every friend brings its shape, a Japanese reading, and a meaning into your growing collection.

A thirsty little world

Guide water to a sleepy tree. Turn a bend, try your plan, and see exactly where it stops. Undo and hints are always free.

火 + 風

A surprising chain reaction

Put Fire at the kettle and Wind on the crossing. Make steam, guide it around the grove, and wake another friend.
