Kanji de Puzzle (Japan) (GBC)

Kanji de Puzzle is a unique puzzle game for the Game Boy Color, focusing on challenging players' knowledge and arrangement skills of Kanji characters.

The game typically presents a grid board filled with random or themed Kanji characters. The main objective is to connect adjacent Kanji characters (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) to form meaningful Japanese words.

Once a valid word is formed, those characters disappear from the board, making way for new characters to fall from the top, similar to the mechanics of classic block-matching games like Tetris or Puyo Puyo.

Scores are calculated based on the word's length, the difficulty of the Kanji characters used, and the speed of completion. The game may feature various modes, from time attack challenges and survival modes (where the board fills up if you don't clear fast enough) to puzzle modes with pre-designed levels.

Kanji de Puzzle is not just an entertaining game but also an effective learning tool, helping players review and expand their Kanji vocabulary in a fun way. The interface is simple and easy to understand, yet the depth of the Kanji puzzles can increase significantly, suitable for both beginners learning Japanese and those looking to challenge their abilities.
