I got it! Connect words to fire bullets, and can't stay too long at one word or it'll explode. It's pretty funny. :D

this is cool, i like the softness of the color palette you used; it compliments the small music loop in the background :P

the movement system reminds me a bit of how Ghost Trick worked. Kind of cool to see that applied to a more action-heavy game. It works very well.

It's quite interesting! I love the explode effect of words and the mechanism. But the bgm has a little empty moment maybe?

Nice idea, it's fun. I would probably add something to show progress during the game, how well you are doing, a kanji counter or something, well done!

Pretty fun experience, even though i have no clue what the words mean. However, I miss some sense of progression and don't really know if i die or that the level just progresses. But the style, music and gameplay match super well.

Cool game. Simple mechanic that provides interesting gameplay. Would have loved to see letters with different abilities perhaps.

Hi there. Firing away, blowing up pesky yellow words, fun. Didn't quite get how to be strategic, was luck. Thought I'd got level complete, but I think now I got killed... Like the sounds. Good job overall!

Thank you all for playing my game!! @mrexcessive: thank you for your feedback, the rule is if your character stands on a word, it will explode in 10 sec.

Love it but the music loop is too short it gets annoying fast!

Nice game, found it particularly innovative and unique, with the traditional Chinese symbols. The controls are smooth and nice, though I had to read description to find out what they were. The music is quite nice, but after a while gets extremely repetitive and annoying.

Overall however, a solid entry! Great!

Fun for a bit, but quickly becomes repetitive. I had to mute the audio after a few seconds. The symbols looked nice. One of the more unique games I've played. I just wish I knew my high score.
