Gameplay

The gamaplay of the game

A giant hand, that you play as, is going to write calligraphy -- with an unnecessary-yet-necessary amount of strength. When the giant hand reaches enough power, press A to write (with power). There are six different symbols to write besides the face. Near the end, the game goes faster and people come out dancing.

Controls

• A = Write (with power)

Hit or Miss

• Hit: The symbol is successfully written
• Barely: If early, the line turns out squiggled. If late, a messy spot of ink is made. (Barely counts as a miss.)
• Miss: If missed completely no marks are made, letting out a sigh.

• If you miss the last one, it automatically drops the chance of getting a superb.
• The symbols written are actual Japanese symbols except the face, which is made of symbols, such as its nose.
• The symbolsare: 力(power) 寸(sun, a Japanese kind of measurement.) 心 (heart) 己　(oneself) レ (re Katakana) and a comma
• This is one of a few games to have different rating screens of both versions.
• In the Korean version, the title screen is different along with the rating screens and the last symbol drawn at the end.
