The drag and drop would also need to be typed, depending on the platform.

That is correct. The artwork doesn't have to be astonishing, though I have artists who can do actors and backgrounds. What is important is that I can control the words through an external txt file with a comma delimited set of words

or an xml or some means that I can make changes

I have words (eg "cat") and when the actor approaches the bridge the words will sound, so the kids can choose the right letters

I would control the levels by using the word set discussed above

Obviously I would need more activity than just crossing bridges - it has to be "exciting for kids". I would be guided by your advice as to what you can do cost effectively

Hi, I'm not sure what a "Puzzle-Platformer" is - can you explain?

you can see the work we doo at "teachtheworldtoread" - search for it

I work in literacy. We donate literacy solutions to developing communities ()

I am looking for a Mario-style game that allows the actor to

• create a ladder of letters or
• a bridge of letters.
• sometimes unjumble the words.
• sometimes assemble words from phonic components

There are 1500 words, and I have the words as audio. The player can click or touch to hear the word and either type or slide letters into position

sometime there will be a single missing letter, sometime the whole word

Points accumulated and different levels

The budget is limited - suits someone who has a game which can be tweaked
