Canta

A caraoke like game with educational claim

Canta is a platform-independent karaoke (singstar-like) Game. You have to sing to songs and the game shows you if you hit the notes and at the end you see your skill-level.
But its goal is more educational, so you see (if included to the song) the notes you have to sing. But you can naturally also just have fun with it.
