ABCya! provides this entertaining ABC keyboard game suitable for young elementary age students, available in three levels, easy, medium and hard. The student first picks a player from choices such as an astronaut or monkey then sets out to stop the alpha critters from getting their lunch by pushing the keys on the keyboard that correspond to the dropping letters before they reach the wall. If the alpha munchies make it past the student to the wall, they will slowly break it down making their way to the food. Once they have broken the wall and taken all of the food, the game is over. The speed at which the alpha munchies fall progresses with each level of play.
