Woodii: The Black Diamond

Woodii: The Black Diamond is an educational game featuring characters from a Swedish TV series, specifically the protagonist called Woodii.

Woodii is a native boy living in the jungle, and he is sent on an adventure by his grandfather to retrieve a black diamond from a secret place. (The locations are a motley mix of African Hippos and a Maya city.) To accomplish this he is given the grandfathers magic mask, which can be used as a skateboard/wakeboard/flying board, to travel past the dangers found on the way to the black diamond. Other gems can be picked up for points along the way, and finding more masks means extra lives. As a companion he also brings his talking monkey along.

The game is played like a skateboard game on rails, with the main character seen from behind. The player has to avoid obstacles and pick up gems and masks in three separate areas before getting to the final goal.

The educational part is for the player to learn about gems, and solve logic puzzles. Controls are by keyboard arrow keys only, moving to the sides & jumping/ducking depending on the obstacle.
