GoKana SpeedRunning

This is gonna be kinda niche but this past week when I get bored at work I’ve been trying to get the highscore for the GoKana game and I finally did it on the last day of the month:

It seems like I am the only person this month to break under 35 seconds and if you go to the page to see the top 100, I make up close to 90% of the entries.

Not sure who Wanis or Bjorn are but they’ve been my mini rivals for this and it’s actually been weirdly fun to try every day to get faster and faster. Maybe in a couple weeks I’ll go for a month where I am the top at all of them.

Either way though I wanted to see if I could find anyone else who was participating in more than just a practicing kana way.

It took me a little bit to break 40 seconds but now I can get around 37 each time if I’m being a bit careful. If I’m fully sending it I can pull 36/35 or the one time I got 34 with a slight mistake so there is def room for improvement :laughing:

i get pretty much exactly the same time on both hiragana and katakana, but that hiragana leaderboard is a lost cause lol

yeah I kinda wanted to make it as hard as possible for people to get times on the board. I brought it down from anything under 1:15 being on the board to everything over 38 being off the board. I’ve almost got it down to anything over 37 doesn’t make the board :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Never

You officially can’t get on the leader board unless youre sub 38 seconds now. Also posted up a couple more sub 35s.

Sub 36 was good enough for top 3 now you need it to get into the top 20!!!

Man, sure would be nice if I could type without making typos :'D Got on a few of the leaderboards though. Had no idea this existed!

Are you really gonna leave that 98% score there? It looks so ugly :japanese_goblin: :japanese_goblin: :japanese_goblin:
