Requires HyperCard Player 2.2 or later (probably already on your Mac
whether you know it or not), or any version of Hyper-Stack Player.

CCM Lite is a "light" version of the regular, shareware Creepin'
Critter(TM) Math educational game. Creepin' Critter Math Lite has enabled
all the bonus features of the licensed regular version of CCM, but contains
just the "Beginner" math module (in both the Creepin' Critter and Bubble
Poppin' formats) instead of the four modules of the regular version. The
bonus features include, among other things, a full color interface, Top Ten
lists, and the ability to repeat those problems that were answered
incorrectly.

The Creepin' Critter format is a multiple-choice challenge in which
children choose the answer to a question by swatting one of four bugs which
are creeping up a wall towards "picture frames" which contain four possible
answers. If the incorrect bug is swatted, the other three continue creeping
up the wall giving the child further chances to swat the correct bug. If
the correct bug is not swatted by the time one of the bugs crawls
underneath one of the picture frames, then the correct answer flashes
several times and another problem is presented. After finishing a game, the
problems which were answered incorrectly or not at all may be repeated.

The distance the bugs creep before reaching the picture frames may be
decreased, giving the child less time to swat the correct bug, but
increasing the possible score. An arcade-style "Top Ten List" shows the
child's highest scores, and so gives an incentive to improve.

For children who do not like swatting bugs, an alternative Bubble Poppin'
game is included. As the name implies, this alternative requires popping
the correct bubble among four bubbles which are rising from a bubble bath
towards a steam enshrouded ceiling. Floating in the steam are four possible
answers to the problem.

The regular, shareware version of CCM is available for download in
"evaluation mode," and may be upgraded to the fully enabled version by the
entry of a password after paying the license fee.

CCM Lite is Freeware
