There are various other programmes available from the same makers, so you should be able to find something that will suit your kid perfectly.]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/kids_learning/hangmanpro.html The classic word-guessing game for all ages.

About Doulber Gold
Doulber (pronounced DOOL ber) is a diamond-hungry ant that must make his way through caves, volcanos, tropical jungles, a circus, an ice world and a space station - to collect a certain amount of diamonds within a specified amount of time. He must avoid monsters, bats and other elements that might try to get in his way. Doulber sometimes drops bombs to help him on his way.

In addition to this action-packed arcade adventure, there are many secret exit doors scattered thoughout Doulber Gold that allow gamers to bypass the normal exits and instead enter into a hidden level filled with only bonuses. All monsters and malices are removed but gamers are still not free from danger.

Also, there’s a puzzle element of Doulber Gold, which is a game within the game with a twist: It has a completely different goal than the regular levels. Gamers must first find a key, then the door in which the key fits. At that point, you are led to the new puzzle level. They look like other regular levels and can be played like them, but if the gamer takes on the puzzle challenge in these levels, the player is expected to demystify the puzzle without any instructions - in order to earn a bonus then continue.
