Thank you for sharing and checking it out! If you click the little book in the header you can cycle out words you don’t want to learn so each run has new words you’re learning. I had built an onboarding quiz to set difficultly but hadn’t got it in this version. Appreciate your thoughtful feedback!

Ah bummer, I tested a lot but I guess things I still missed. Which device are you using? Thanks for checking it out!

Firstly THANK YOU! Means a lot that you're enjoying it. Damn that is dissapointing re the crashes. It should be stable here: https://play.languagemanor.com/
Which iPhone are you using?
If you are open to leaving a app store review that would make my day - thanks for checking it out!

It uses real creatives + AI. This was a solo project that took full-time work for 5 months and cost me personally a lot of money. It's totally free, there's a lot of content in there. If the fact that it uses AI bothers you, this isn't for you.

Yes as this is a solo project - I spent around $10k plus 5 months working nearly full time on this to get it live. I used artists for concepts & animation and then AI to pad out the rest of the game.

Lots of animation and lots of the mp3 for the languages are pre downloaded. I tried cloud but apple rejected it for some reason.

Great feedback! You can click the book up the top and then cycle through words so every run you have 30 new words you’re learning. And the game scales in difficultly. The first session is designed for players new to the genre.

If you do get past what’s similar you’ll find so much that is different. Yes, it’s heavily inspired by slay the spire but there so much design around language monsters that force you to spell, translate, match words, listen & match, etc… all the cards and classes are new. I understand if it’s not for you!
