Trancelation

I'm actually amazed by how well it works. I've tested going back a few days later and still maintained what I learned. While it won't teach you how to speak the language, it's nice to know I can use this to be able to translate with some effort. Would strongly recommend and I plan on playing for a bit daily to see how well it works in time! https://youtu.be/ndJtNIzvsHE

This game's best feature is the background sound. The game is simple, move around and get the words without getting nicked by one of the hazards. https://www.hardcoregames.biz/trancelation/

I was looking for a language learning game yesterday, and honestly, this is a hidden gem. I didn't expect much at all, but the controls are surprisingly smooth, and the aesthetics and music are solid as well. The ability to import your own vocab fully sealed the deal for me. I would've passed on this game if it didn't have that feature since I'm not learning any of the available languages in-game, but now you can use it for literally anything you want. (I just wish it had Steam achievements, since I'm a sucker for that, LOL)

A well executed spoonful of sugar for taking your flashcard medicine. Worth multiples of the list price if you appreciate its utility. Hijacks your dopamine response just enough to get you to spend time learning. Gameplay is sort of like freeform pac-man; it is [i]not[/i] a rhythm game so you can turn down the music slider in settings and play whatever you want; the tracks are ok but there is only one per arena. You can emphasize the arcade mechanics as much or as little as you like with simple or complex arenas and three difficulty settings, so it is accessible for all. If you can edit a CSV, you can create (or export or download) your own lists to your heart's content. This makes the game far more valuable, as the included lists, while good and relatively abundant, will only take you so far. And you needn't limit yourself to languages, you can do any text based flashcard you want. Developer could have tried to monetize additional content but had the good taste not to. Refreshingly bug free. The language learning space is rife with overpriced but ineffective tools. Games often take the route of bloated narratives or excessive mechanics with fixed and limited language content, making you cover whatever is in them at their pace whether it is appropriate to your stage or not. This game doesn't waste your time. After you have a basic grasp of grammar, you have a huge mountain of rote memorization and frequent exposure to climb if you want to command a serviceable vocabulary. This game acknowledges that reality and gives you something that is actually effective in its simplicity. The only flaw I see so far is an apparent lack of any implementation of spaced repetition. It appears that lists simply become "mastered" after a certain point and you are up to your own devices to revisit them. While a per-question repetition system would be ideal, it would still be immensely useful if the game did something basic like set a flag on each list based on the last time you ran it, with some options for the user on when to remind them to practice. This would put it in a competing class with things like Anki.

Great indie game! Learning and having fun is best synergy. Also, i think it is nice if you dont have much time and want to spend it productively.

This game is an interesting way to make vocabulary learning fun

Trancelation is a I-want-learn-quickly-a-words-from -that-language game, with electronic music in the background. These people who complaining about graphics should read a book about graphic design stylization, instead of whining on the internet that game is bad. Also it works on two-core processor laptop from 2016, which is a plus. I do not know why, but there is a small bug probably, because once in version other that PL-EN it showed me a english answer(in Polish-German or Polish-French, I do not remember), which I consider as a small minus. At all the game is a fair and it "goes towards" player- what I meant that you can choose level of difficulty and mode... Yes, you can also choose a size font of answers , if you want( go to settings in main menu). Worth playing. And no, nobody payed me for doing this recommendation. (sorry for my English, it's a little bit rusty)

Le principe du jeu est bien, il est facile de mémoriser les nouveaux mots. Par contre, la musique laisse à désirer, que du trance.

Es entretenido para jugar una partidilla y te deja hacer tus propias listas de vocabulario. Lo utilizo mucho con los hijos y bueno no es que se aprenda como estudian pero siempre se te queda alguna palabra (la mas inutil o graciosa). Para mi 100% recomendable.

俺のプレイ時間は、たったの「６分」。楽しく言語のお勉強ができるかと期待したが、全く合わなかった。 楽しいゲームならば、難しい表現があっても能動的に調べて覚えられる。 つまらないゲームならば、簡単な単語や表現でも理解しようとする気にすらならない。 辞書でも眺めるか、翻訳アプリに気になった単語や文を入力するか、ネイティブが教える外国語学サイトでも見て勉強した方がよっぽどいい。洋楽を聴いて、歌ったり曲のタイトルの意味を調べたりね。あとは、外国人の友達を作ろう。やりとりしているうちに自然とネイティブ表現を覚えられるぞ。
