Doesn't load here. The progress bar stucks at the last bit.
Using google chrome.

Very nice game!

lanestp 2015-08-23 18:09

Fun, I'm not sure if there is a strategy beyond hammering spacebar...
I got 9400 points!

Nice implementation, but maybe the coconuts should go more in the place you poke or something so you could have more the "i'm doing something as i want" feeling (dont know if i explained myself) Also I m playing from my android on the browser and can't see all the screen, toy should resize it acording to the screen. Anyway i will play with the browser after rating, good job!

Wonderful. I got 9900 points and a QUADRUPLE COCONUT KILL (you really should reward combos). Great game, audio 5/5

congusbongus 2015-08-24 10:56

@peterthehe thanks! You are right combos should be more obvious, they already give you more score but you may not have noticed because the different enemy types are worth different points already.

Amazing XD it was really fun to play, I also loved how every time you threw a coconut, it would land and make a sound in beat with the song :) great work

tagliatl 2015-08-24 11:54

I got 8400 :D
The music is cool

oadt 2015-08-24 12:16

11400 points! :D Love the music. Controls feels delayed, but I thing it's intended (but make it feels a bit weird to play) anyway good work! :)

alkazar 2015-08-24 13:03

Very nice!

lastleaf 2015-08-24 13:03

Nice game, but I find myself difficult to catch the rhythm and the direction.

flygamer101 2015-08-24 13:14

Very nice :D Felt like an atari game, but remasted. Fun.

justinj 2015-08-24 13:16

Fun game! Felt a bit imprecise to me, but I can see getting a bit more comfortable with it. I loved how the tourists bob up and down.

dhargan 2015-08-24 13:34

excellent entry! it could be perfect if the theme was "you are the tree". still great tho :D

lanestp 2015-08-24 14:15

Fun! I got 9400!

shinmera 2015-08-24 14:54

A neat little entry. Reminds me of the time when I was smaller and played flash games all day.

At first I wasn't quite sure whether my mouse cursor position or anything else I pressed had any influence on where the coconuts were going. A little arrow indicator that tells you where it will fly might have helped alleviate that question.

Sound wise this is perfectly fine. The track and effects are nicely goofy and fit into the overall theme of the work. Perhaps the effects could have been made a bit quieter to make the music stick out better.

The graphics are simple and charming. The coconuts feel a bit out of place as they are textured, whereas everything else is flat.

I really liked the bounce mechanic of the coconuts as a way to create combos. I think it could've been expanded further upon, where you have special types of coconuts that bounce differently, or fly differently, etc. That would have helped improve the variety of the game and increase its replayability.

Theme wise I'm sorry to say that I don't see this fitting in very well. While this palm tree is certainly a nuisance to the tourists, I wouldn't exactly call it a monster. Maybe an ape throwing around soft-drinks or something similar would have worked better.

Super fun game, managed to beat the high score - just.

games-placeo 2015-08-25 13:57

Really fun game to play. Couldn't put it down for a while. If you choose to continue with it you should add some kind of award for getting past a certain score, like a medal?

tselmek 2015-08-25 14:00

Nice game, the rythm is well visually represented. We don't have much control over the coconut's trajectory and we don't really have to throw them in rythm as our input seems to automatically triggers the throwing in rythm. Great game nonetheles.

mfep 2015-08-25 14:01

Really simple but fun, graphics could be better.

boskosokolov 2015-08-26 12:24

Fun little game

cultofmonkey 2015-08-26 13:27

Not sure how it relates to the theme, but it was a fun game. I got 9400.

xvw 2015-08-26 14:07

Got 11200 :) The best strat is rebounce using ! Nice concept ! Thanks for the game!

windmill-games 2015-08-26 14:15

Very funny concept and a great take on the theme! Score attack games are always fun to play. Very nice music as well! :)

cowthing 2015-08-26 20:32

Cute and fun game! My highest score was 9600.

folex70 2015-08-26 22:09

wow very cool! i loved this happy music :) and game play 5/5

loggiant 2015-08-27 02:26

That was a fantastic little game. I felt like the controls weren't as reactive to my input as I'd like, but it could have something to do with not being able to fire as the tree is moving between positions. I definitely laughed the entire time I was playing.

crefossus 2015-08-27 06:49

love the clouds, ocean, etc all dancing. Allowing attack only on beats also helps you to feel as part of the soundscape..pretty neat

good attention to detail with leaving the tourists upside down to mark past kill and making a sand noise for coconut impact.

dragongino 2015-08-27 13:10

death by coconuts.you got the theme right were it need the music is fun and the gameplay feel relaxed.just getting that new highscore.

cudabear 2015-08-27 13:40

I have to admit I had way too much fun playing this game. My high score was 10,400. At first, I thought you could just spam the inputs to throw coconuts, but timing it with the music is definitely important. Simple graphics that work well, tie this all together! Well done!

pietro-ferrantelli 2015-08-27 19:44

Hilarious game ! The cloud animation made me laugh so hard ! I also really enjoyed playing this, the gamefeel is good ! Pretty memorable Ludum entry, take your nice score ;)

roosterkite 2015-08-28 03:36

Funny little game. I really like the graphics and the bounciness of everything, but the best strategy seems to be just hitting spacebar as fast as you can.

happyhour 2015-08-28 12:43

The animations are cute! Very bouncy. It certainly feels good to hit multiple tourists with a single coconut.

boywithstick 2015-08-29 15:31

I got 6700 points. Evil tree is evil! Great entry and loads of fun to play! Really enjoyed the artwork and bouncing to the music, while playing.

Coconutland is the Coconuts'

crawler-studios 2015-09-02 04:36

Fun mechanics, fun looking graphics, fun concept.

piopio 2015-09-02 17:57

Nice game, but I'm not sure if it fits the theme.

dancingmad 2015-09-02 18:17

Funny concept ^^

xwarzonex 2015-09-04 15:58
