Beautiful platformer aimed at kids. Multitude of levels, plenty of hidden areas, bonuses etc. I said it is game for kids, because it is very similar to Shark Attack - it's easy to play and guides you by hand with everything. And just like many games from GameTop (MyPlayCity seems to have the same approach) it can still be bought from the company which made it, however this "version" comes bundled up with freeware license. :D

Did you let your daughter play the game, Chroelle? I wonder how a child would like it? As an adult I think it is very relaxing. I played through the first few levels (including the bonus levels) and so far there was no danger of loosing a life or missing something (except for some secrets if you don't look carefully for cracks in the ground). Technically everything is fine of course, but you shouldn't expect something exciting or any fast-paced gameplay.

Didn't have time today, but I might have time tomorrow. I hope so, because I want to see if she can figure it out without me letting her know everything. I will be looking over her shoulder though, but I want to see how intuitive this game is.
