About the game
Character Chowdown is an educational puzzle game designed to teach players how to read Asian language sets such as kana and kanji. Troublemaking Nommons will challenge players by making the characters that players have a difficult time recalling appear more often to reinforce what they are practicing. Designed to be played on the go, Character Chowdown is ready to satiate anyone eager to learn a new language.
What’s new in the update?
Disgaea characters, dood! Five Disgaea characters added, with Raspberyl available for free when you upgrade! Other characters are available for purchase within the app and each comes with two Disgaea backgrounds. On top of that, Disgaea demons Catsaber and Eryngi have joined forces with the Nommons. These demons will also change the characters on-screen, so they’ll make sure players are on their toes! Tap to Eat: Screen tapping controls were added, so you can now tap on a hero to eat/destroy a character.
New Language Packs: Three more language packs added, $0.99 each.
New Disgaea style scoring system: You get 50 points for eating/destroying characters. Scores are multiplied after 5 correct answers in a row all the way to a 5x multiplier, so each character is 250 points. When you get a question wrong, the combo breaks, and each incorrect answer subtracts 10 points from your score. The game keeps track of your lifetime score so players can join the “1 Billion Point Club”!
Listen to iTunes while you play! Players can stream music from iTunes right into the game while you play – if you open a song using the Music app it will play in Character Chowdown!
Optimized for iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5th generation: By popular demand, Character Chowdown now supports iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5th generation!
Say “Hi!” with postcards: Players can create and send digital postcards by decorating Nommons with accessories unlocked by completing language packs. Custom postcards can be shared through a user’s Facebook profile.
