  • Summary: Coconut Dodge features two modes of play. The default mode is ideal for casual players interested in a quick and fun "game-on-the-go"; the Maze Master mode is primarily targeted at the hardcore audience willing to explore each level to its fullest by applying strategy, wits, and perseverance on a quest to reach a specific number of points before the end of each level. In this mode there is a specific pattern of movement that can be memorized and mastered with enough experience and quick thinking, and this is where Coconut Dodge really excels: beneath its visually simple façade is a hard nut to crack as the game is loaded with addicting and varied gameplay. The in-game tutorial is highly recommended to all audiences as it explains the various Power-Ups and their use within the game.… Expand

    This is the perfect example of how a MiNi has to be. It is simple, but with great gamplay, it looks good and the most important thing: it full of fun! One of the best MiNiS you can get.

    Coconut Dodge is an excellent mini for an excellent price. Do. Not. Miss. It.

    And that's the thing, really. You'll either really like Coconut Dodge for the addictive score-chase, or you'll be bored with it's one mechanic. Buy accordingly.

    Coconut Dodge is an intriguing game. The core concept is disarmingly straightforward, based upon simple game mechanics that have been present in many of the arcade video game greats over the years. You control a small crab at the bottom of the screen, moving left-to-right to either avoid or collect falling objects. That is essentially it. And it's wonderful! :-) The graphics are bright, clear and pleasant to look at. There is clever differentiation between the items you need to avoid (coconuts) and the items you need to collect (jewels etc) using clear differences in the shape and colour of each item. This is important because you'll soon find that you'll need to steer your crab through some tight squeezes and it helps to be able to unambiguously distinguish between different objects at speed. The music is cheerful, repetitive and incredibly addictive, which works well with this sort of game. The core game mode provides you with 3 lives and the challenge is to survive as long as possible and rack up the highest score you can. As you progress you will unlock coconut mazes, which can be replayed at will in the Maze Master game mode. Trust me, you'll need to do this in order to practice & refine your skills. When you hit a coconut in the main game mode (and you will) you lose a life. When you do though, you become invulnerable for a short time, which helps you coast past the tricky part that killed you. Don't think that the game is easy though, because it certainly is not. There are some secret additional game modes to be found, but I won't spoil them here! ;-) Needless to say the 'easter egg' game modes are great fun (one is absolutely eeeevil!!). The initial release of the game received tremendously positive public support. The developers (FuturLab) maintained close contact with the community during this time and gathered feedback regarding the refinements that people wanted to see. FuturLab recently issued an update/patch which introduced the most popular requested improvements (such as extra lives) and included some delightfully unexpected bonuses (such as extra game modes). It's incredibly pleasing to see the developers listen & respond to feedback from the community in this way. It's clear that Coconut Dodge was conceived in love by the development team. It's a finely tuned game, crafted by people who love the game. Coconut Dodge is fantastic value for money, especially as you will invest hours upon hours in 'just-one-more-go' gameplay marathons trying to beat your high scores and those devilish mazes! ;-) This game is most definitely recommended for all players, young and old.… Expand
