A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Kanji Mega Expansion
2026-07-15 07:32 UTC · Community Announcements · loohhoo studios
Almost 30000(!) more Kanji addedThanks to Jitenon's data store, Kanji RPG is able to add information of 29200 Kanji. Entries which did not overlap with the existing KANJIDIC2 will not have an English definition (but these are obscure characters anyway, for advanced learners/hobbyists). I (Looh) will be incrementally adding definitions to JIS Kanji over time. Since some levels have insane numbers of Kanji in them, a loading screen has been implemented. The Kanji Stamp Book (aka the dictionary) has been highly optimized and should take less time to load and search.Level AdjustmentsThe Kanji from

Hi everyone! Thanks for your patience. Unfortunately right after the last update is when I got diagnosed with POTS, hence the lack of updates 😔 That said: I am working on this! Here's what's included in this update: * Grade 3 is FINISHED (minus vocab). There is a final boss now! * Grade 4 is now partially available up to the 1st mini-boss. * Added more vocabulary to grades 2/3 (still in progress). * Fishing mini game in preliminary stages! See the shop!

Grades 2 / 3 Preliminary Release
2024-02-24 10:05 UTC · Community Announcements · loohhoo studios
Hello everyone, Looh here with an update (finally!). In this update you'll find Grades 2 and 3 are available. Most of Grade 2 and all of Grade 3 do not have vocabulary options at this time. You'll see a lock icon on the "Vocab" button in lessons only on lessons that don't have any vocabulary to study. I'm being a bit picky about which words I pick and choose from, and it created such an unnecessary mental block that kept me from designing levels and such. So, I decided to just release an update with the Kanji only! Some bugs have been fixed, but as always, since this game is still in early acc
