I wish there was a list in each level that tells us what characters we are to expect to blast away in romaji.

Thanks for this! My friend and I started learning katakana a couple of weeks ago, and now we're onto level 17 - almost there. This game has been enormously fun and helpful; can't wait to move onto hiragana.

I do have one suggestion; in the first levels of the game, just ka, ki, ku etc. are used, and then the "g" forms. This was useful as we knew the symbol we were looking at was one of a potential five, and helped us cement their images in our minds.

But in later levels, other symbols are used (the sa, ta, na lot) as well as the original five, so we weren't as confident in our guesses and became confused.

Would it be possible to incorporate newbie levels? For example, a level with just ha, hi, fu, he and ho and its variations with "b" and "p", a level with na, ni, nu, ne and no, and so on for each set. This worked best for us when first learning the "k"s.

Thanks again for the game and the great site.
