Love the idea of the characters being objects :)

I really liked the procedurally grown tree and the rain noise. Would like to see translations for the symbols. I assume the blue on was the character for rain? Good Job!

The gameplay isn't that good, but I like the procedural trees and the calming rain sound.

That was really cool and kind of addicting, well done.

needs more particles and tweening and noise and lights. then it's japan :)

i like the idea though i'd rather see the tree growing as i collection, maybe even with an indicator of what part will grow next so i can collect more or less characters for just that part.

Would be a bit more relaxing and soothing without that collecting sound. Otherwise a nice little game. Watching that tree grow is really rewarding :)

Wow, this is seriously original and just plain cool. I would call it more of a "toy" than a game per-se, but that doesn't make it any less brilliant. Really nice looking too!

Collecting rain for 10 seconds. Interesting implementation of the theme. Good UI. I enjoyed this, and appreciate that the tree is different each time.

I loved the tree generation and the rain sounds. I was hoping for a bit more out of the gameplay, but it wasn't bad at all. I wish the color multipliers affected the score, though!

Great job!

The only think I was a little confused on was what the different colored characters actually did.

But over all, very enjoyable to see the tree grow in the end!

Quite peaceful and pretty. A very unique idea that uses the 10 second theme well.

Wheeee! AWESOME! A 木 collecting 雨s! Love it! But I haven't yet learned and hence couldn't read the other kanji that appear so I first avoided them. :D

Great and innovative idea. Had loads of fun playing it. only the graphics were rather pixeley and the sound got a litle unnerving at some point

Very cool tree growing mechanic :D I was childishly amazed by it every single time.

Cool idea, and I liked collecting the little ame's. I did find though after a while I was going round round with the mouse and getting a high score, so perhaps make the rain kanjis sparser.

Could see this as a cool way to learn Kanji.

I love the tree at the end. The collecting sound is a bit annoying but it's pretty good

I replayed your game a few more times than I expected as it felt very calming :)

Good job!

I really like the style of this game! Especially the trees at the end.

A little bit of music couldn't have hurt additionally to the rain - try a generator like http://abundant-music.com if you can't make it yourself. The only thing really annoying me is the collecting sound effect - it doesn't fit, and it stacks on top of each other because you collect so fast. A drop in the water or something similar would've fit better!

And now excuse me please, I'll have to grow a few more trees.

This is absolutely beautiful and such a cool idea. I think this is possibly one of my favourite games I've played so far, very cool! Rated highly across the board. :)

Really strange concept. I think it's too much random for me, maybe i would prefer if you somme level instruction like make a tall tree, make a small green tree etc.)

Very cool idea. Also challenging with the multiplier. A nice little game.
