Publisher's description of HangARoo

From NCBuy:

Hangaroo a game that let guess the phrases by selecting letters to fill in the slots. If you make too many errors, you know what happens next: the cute kangaroo will be earning his wings. Luckily, even if you do send the hangaroo he outback in the sky, you won't feel too guilty. His quick wit and smart tongue will have you begging to kill him off. Version 2.052 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Editor's review of HangARoo

• "HangARoo"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Clear away the extra promotional icons and HangARoo makes a welcome desktop addition. The Flash version of hangman features a sass-talking kangaroo who, thank goodness, does not attempt an Australian accent. He stands on a scaffold with a noose around his neck, critiquing your letter choices until you either guess the word or phrase--or send him to heaven. You can pick four incorrect letters before you lose the game. To choose letters, you can click the letter buttons or use the keyboard. Some puzzles will pop up little bubbles with trivia about the subject. The audio works nicely, and you can adjust the volume on a slider. The interface shows an eFlash ticker at the bottom, and the program adds extra icons to your desktop and links to your Start menu folder. Uninstalling the game doesn't remove the promotional icons or links, which isn't polite. Still, hangman fans might find a few icons a small price to pay for a free game as fun as HangARoo.

  "Lots of fun"

  by carroled on July 28, 2007

  Pros: I get quite a kick out of the things the Kangaroo says when I choose the wrong letter. And I'm learning lots of trivia.

  Cons: I'm Canadian and most of the puzzles are about American things so I don't always know the answers. Still, it's fun to try.

  by funwow on January 24, 2007

  Pros: this game is really addictive. the little kangaroo can really get under your skin in a fun kind of way-totally fun exscapism, but educational too.

  Cons: absolutely none.

  "I still love this game!!"

  by chrysette on February 19, 2008

  Pros: I remember playing HangARoo ages ago and this game still keeps me busy when I have nothing to do!! And considering the fact that these days there's so many games out there that you can play to pass your time - that's a pretty amazing feat!!

  I'm pretty sure people of all ages can enjoy this game and you can even add your own phrases/words to the game for other people to guess and vice versa!

  All in all, the game is pretty impressive! I love it!!
