Learn to read Hiragana and Katakana with our new game Kana Invaders. It’s easy to play. First, chose the type of game, either Hiragana or Katakana. Then select the level of difficulty. Finally try to blast the Kana Invaders by typing the kana displayed. If you are too slow they will land on your head and it’s all game over man.

PLAY KANA INVADERS!

A huge shout out to Ricardo who made this game and designed this website. Check out his awesomeness at Cataplasma.
