The Kanji Kid
A downloadable game for Windows
This game was made for the April 2023 Pizza Jam in 10 days. This was the first game created for myself and friends who helped along the way. It was made in UE5.1 and was a fun learning experience. Looking forward to expanding on this world.
The Kanji Kid is a story of a young Joey who fell asleep in calligraphy class and woke up in a dream world. He first meets Washi who instructs him to collect the Kanji scattered throughout the world. He needs to extinguish the great flame blocking his path to return home.
Collect the Kanji, extinguish the flame, and return Joey home!
With death counter and timer you can challenge your friends to see who can get the lowest totals!
All assets were made during the jam and credits go out to the following:
Pixel Art - LukeyPookieG
Sound Design - MaoPickles
I did all the in engine development and hope you enjoy the game. -Nesrath

Hello Nesrath!
I hope this message finds you well. I'm Ahmed, the Collage Program Director and the lead of the Cause Jam event. I recently came across your game on itch.io, and I must say, it looks incredibly fun and great!
I wanted to extend an invitation to you and your team to join our Cause Jam. Our event, Games for Love's Cause Jam XI, focuses on using the power of game development to make a positive impact on the lives of children facing various challenges. Given the quality and enjoyment your game brings, we believe it would be a fantastic addition to our jam.
By participating in our Cause Jam, you'll have the opportunity to showcase your game to a wider audience, connect with like-minded developers, and contribute to a meaningful cause. We're also planning to release a jam pack, a game bundle that will be released to raise funds for children in need. Your game would be a valuable addition to this bundle.
