The Manhole: Masterpiece Edition - by Cyan Worlds ($0.99 Sale)
Welcome to The Manhole! From the creators of Myst, The Manhole is a silly, delightful, interactive, busy-box-of-a-world that kids can explore and explore - finding something new around every corner.
This award-winning romp transports children to the fanciful world around, above, and beneath what appears to be just an average, everyday, manhole. But there is much more than meets the eye - have tea with a rabbit, wake up a walrus, nibble biscuits with a dragon, hang with a penguin, boat with an elephant, speak French with a turtle, and much more!
First released in the 80's, the original version won rave reviews and numerous awards including "Best New Use of a Computer" from the Software Publishers Association. This Masterpiece Edition was produced in the 90's as a ground-up re-make of the original with meticulous computer-rendered scenes layered with delightful hand-rendered characters. There are over 30 original music compositions and scores of original sounds and voices.
Check out Myst, RIven and Stoneship - more great iOS entertainment from Cyan Worlds!

"There's a little boat in my teacup!"
Funny, I was just playing this with our daughter about two weeks before it was announced for iPhone - now there's one more app on there that threatens to keep my iPod in her hands...
I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and buy an iPhone 4 for myself so she can have the iPod one of these days.
(It's a good remake, but I kinda miss the old "New and Enhanced" version - I like the all hand-drawn graphics better than the mix of cartoons and CG.)

It started life in HyperCard as Cyan Worlds' (then Cyan, Inc.) first game. This is a port of the redone Masterpiece CD-ROM edition which was done a year after Myst.
