Very cool! 
Not sure if it was mentioned, but it would be nice if the settings are remembered after finishing the sessions (or just in general) instead of choosing it every time from the beginning

Fantastic new feature, it’s exactly what I needed!
I was quite surprised to discover that the entire menu has been translated into French, thank you again for this great work.
So I’m wondering: are there plans to also translate the verbs within the game into French?
I really appreciate your decision to provide the requested conjugated translation instead of “desire, non-past, affirmative, polite.”
If we could have a French version, it would truly be the ultimate tool and save us from having to translate twice in our head hahaha
Thanks again, I’m going to add it to my daily routine

UI Designer here, maybe unpopular opinion but…
I don’t think it has to be presented as a retro-game.
Normally apps or brands do this kind of funny games on specific dates, but for the most part, when something it is a core part of your app (I mean this is going to stay on Bunpro forever) you should aim to include it using your design system and brand guidelines.
I get it, it is supposed to be fun. But the gamey aesthetics and the whole “Beat the game!” punchline will get old after playing three times.
If I had to include this it would be using the already fully-shaped UI of Bunpro, with lots of configuration options. I don’t like to feel like I’m entering a new app or website because I’m practicing conjugation. I like to feel that all the tools for learning japanese are in the same place and with the same feeling.
Aside from that, very happy with the possibility of doing this kind of practice and the effort you guys put! Thanks!

Are there plans to have this include keigo verbs? Because I would personally find that really useful and I’m sure I’m not the only one who finds that tricky.

If you look at the bottom you have the conjugaison that you need to input
I do agree that it’s kinda unintuitive to put all the way at the bottom though

Firstly and it goes without saying, the conjugation game is an excellent feature and is in a great working state already! However, I would like a compact mode or similar so that information doesn’t require gymnastics jumping from top of screen - to the bottom, left to right, then back to the text entry bar.
The Word, Translation and Conjugation Instructions (Not sure what you’ve referred to it as, in this case it’s the for eg, ‘Volitional, Affirmative, Non-Past, Casual’ boxes) - Each one of these items are held within differing design surrounds and text sizes, and in a game where thinking quickly is the goal, I feel there’s a road block at least for myself with an interruption in flow down the page every exercise.
Design wise it does look visually appealing at the moment, but I do feel it’s form of function in this way. If it were up to me, or even having alternate view modes, i’d love to see the text elements all brought together into the same visual space and design for quick and easier understanding of what the prompting requires me to do.

Tested out a level briefly just now, this is very very cool and i love the aesthetic of it. Definitely will be using this in the near future to brush up on some of the more pesky conjugations. thanks!

Love the concept and definitely brings something different to the other conjugation tools (I was a fan of the Bailey Snyder practice tool), and certainly is more compelling.
For my two cents:
-
If there was an option to add the learned grammar just like the vocab button that would be great (e.g. I’ve nearly finished N5 grammar so I would love to click a button that added all N5 grammar except つもりだ - which I have not learnt yet)
-
In the same vein, retaining your choice of options would also cover this and be a nice QoL upgrade in general
-
The dark red against the black backdrop makes visibility a bit difficult on lower brightness
-
On larger screens, the verb to conjugate is at the top while the conjugation is at the bottom making it a bit awkward to look back and forth, especially if it’s one that i have to think about for a bit (I personally would prefer it next to each other or closer but aesthetically it looks fine)
-
Perhaps have an endless mode where you go through dungeon style fighting different kaiju for a streak or something to incentivise people to keep going
Overall fun game I think some minor improvements would go a long way though.

This is so great and just in time for me! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و 
I have been struggling a lot with conjugation, so much to the point where I felt I wouldn’t be able to make much progress until I got it all down, and this is perfect!
I love how you can isolate what you want to study, so I can master one type of conjugation at a time, practice it a lot and make sure I have it down pat!
Thank you Bunpro Team for all your hard work!

This is wonderful. However, is it intended for ん to be written with a single “n” rather than “nn”? I made a few mistakes not expecting this behavior.
Also, is it possible for games / cram sessions to store their settings, maybe as a “share url” option, or even a separate section on the main page? That would make it so much easier to use not having to setup the game every time I play it. I usually keep a few pages for my reviews, and it would be quite nice to have the game page there.
Thank you for your work, it’s nice to see Bunpro trying something new and making language learning more effective

Halooo! Tried the cute, retro Kaijuugation tool just now. Wondering if I’m supposed to enter the katakana and not hiragana for this? I’m actually not sure how to enter the katakana. 
If I knew how, would it slow me down?
Also haven’t played that long yet but I have had migraines triggered by staring at a screen with a black background and some bright/white text. Hopefully it doesn’t happen but just in case you were going to be providing other options or making changes based on the other comments above on UI.

Thanks for the feedback! On the design side, we’re thinking about how to incorporate all the feedback into a possible v2. For now, I’ve implemented some of the things you pointed out as fixes for this version btw the pixelated image rendering now looks great 🙇♂️

Thanks for pointing these out, the input box ones and the katakana issue should be fixed by now. 🙇♂️

Wanted to reply all individually but seems like the thread doesn’t like that idea and wants me to answer all in just one comment xd
@Kangeroo Adding a learned grammar option is actually a great feature might give it a try 
. About the dungeon style, we were thinking of making the levels section that way (to work like an ingame map with progression) but we are still debating this addition.
@Timmyzz there are plans for meaning translations in the current supported languages but it would take some time to implement it in all the vocab with all the possible conjugations.
@akidevcat The URL share is interesting will definitely give it a try since there are a lot of possible combinations for the menu. About the ん it does write with “nn”, the input only autoconverts if the input is sent and there is a trailing n in the end.
@sunflowii Just changed how the input behaves for this, since some words (な adjectives) use katakana, now you can input katakana using uppercase. should be all fixed by now 
Overall, thanks for the feedback 🙇♂️
We’re currently reviewing the reception and feedback to fix issues and think about a future v2.
Right now, we’re discussing the direction of the tool. Initially, we approached it more as an addition to Bunpro’s Arcade, focusing on a more game-like, challenging experience with an experimental art style. However, the tool is also strongly needed on the practicing and drilling side for Bunpro main site so I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts on this.

i still cant see which verb i need to conjugate on mobile, since the verb is above the monster and the typing field is below the monster. so i only see half of the monster and the typing field. please add the verb somewhere closer to the typing field, so i dont need to scroll ^^
i added a picture to show you how much i can see on mobile, ipad.
