Review:
Influent has proved popular with a section of my students - I have been using the game over the past week - those who are drawn to use it, are actually the ones who need it, so once again, self selection of tasks by students appears to work - students don't like using games or software that does not challenge them in some way.
Although the vocabulary is all English,many of my students did not know the correct names for common objects around the home, and this have proved a useful tool for building vocabulary in an enjoyable manner.

Here is the info from the developer:
My name is Rob and for the past year I've been developing a language learning game in Japan at the University of Tsukuba's Entertainment Computing Laboratory.
The game focuses primarily on vocabulary and pronunciation and allows players to select objects and add them to their vocabulary list. Players can then challenge themselves in Time Attack mode and set high scores.
