HangARoo

HangARoo is a classic among word- and phrase-guessing games, a free hangman-style game for Windows by NCBuy. This program is a great source of entertainment between everyday computer routines. The game has been around for many years, and it has become nostalgic for many people who enjoyed it in the past, one more reason to try it out!

It's a simple yet fun and addictive gameplay loop, and the objective is clear - guess the phrase! You pick letters from the alphabet with the mouse or the keyboard, and the game allows only four incorrect letters, which makes every letter choice really matter. When the limit is reached, the kangaroo on the scaffold is hanged, and the round is over. Throughout the game the sass-talking kangaroo comments on your choices. The rules are plain simple, yet make for a very addictive gameplay.

HangARoo offers thousands of phrases in many categories, fun facts and custom word lists for a quick and light word-guessing game.

• The small size of the game (about 2.5 MB) makes installing and playing easy and light on system resources

Overall HangARoo is a great choice for anyone seeking a quick phrase-guessing game to play while bored or simply wanting to try out a new game format.
