comment
Hangaroo is a flash-based game that was first released in 2001 by NC Entertainment for Windows XP. It's basically a classic hangman game... if you replace the "man" with a mouthy kangaroo, reduce the number of allowed wrong guesses per round to just 4, and require you to complete 10 rounds to win the game.A sequel, Hangaroo 2 was released in 2007. It has the exact same gameplay as the previous one, just with a different background and additional sets of words/phrases.The first game can be played online here.

Death as Comedy: If you fail the round, the kangaroo is hanged. Not long afterwards, his ghost emerges (complete with wings and a halo), and he ascends to the top of the screen while glowering at you. He gets killed anyway even if you do manage to save him from the hanging, and while no ghosts appear in this instance, the cause of death is so absurdnote crushed by a sudden falling meteor that one can't help but laugh.

Four Is Death: Pick four incorrect letters in a round, and the kangaroo gets hanged.

No Animals Were Harmed: A statement that "No kangaroos were harmed during the making of this game" appears on the screen before the credit and title screen.

Dynamic Difficulty: The words/phrases you have to guess each round are randomly generated with no regard to difficulty. You might get a proverbnote typically the easiest category, as they usually contain a lot of letters and common phrases so you aren't likely to make too many mistakes even if you're just picking letters randomly right after having to name a very obscure animal/plant/disease that contains uncommon letters (e.g. "mononucleosis").

comment
Deadpan Snarker: The kangaroo never fails to make snide comments if you pick a wrong letter (e.g. "Thanks a lot there, Einstein", or "Why do I always get stuck with the idiots?" and many more). If you beat the game, he'll commend you by saying "Well, maybe you're not as dumb as you look."

comment
Winged Soul Flies Off at Death: If you don't immediately restart or quit the game after failing a round, you'll see the blue ghost of the kangaroo fly off the platform while scowling at you for letting him die.
