Good flash platformers for young kids (5-6?)
My daughter recently got the hang of some basic flash platform games and is looking for more (Her most recent favorite).
I asked her what she liked about it and she said "That there are different levels and the levels get harder and you collect [coins] and there is a challenge at the end". Yep, pretty much a platformer.
So, I'm looking for recommendations of free or low cost platform games that are either targeted at younger kids or have easy enough levels for a 5 year old who only gets about 30 minutes of computer time a day. Ideally PC or android based, either online or downloadable.

My daughters like this CBBC Deadly Planet game where you have to hunt for animals and take pictures of them.

Let me give a huge endorsement ofRunman, which fits the bill and has a wonderful soundtrack.
