Archive: 11 posts


This is dedicated to the popular minis game coconut dodge and sackgirlsrule ( coz i wouldn't of made the little crab without her XD ).

its a simple but fun concept of dodging the falling coconuts while trying to reach the treasures.

constructive criticism is much welcomed and please do report any bugs you find.

just post the level you want me to review in exchange for a review on my level.

much love, nerz lime jelleh:star::star:<3

I have had this queued for quite some time and just got around to playing it. It's really good, it deserves more attention. It's a super simple concept but well built.

I did notice at on stage that a point pentagon fell outside of my range of movement so not sure how everything is dropped but it may be a little too wide. Wasn't a huge deal but I ran over to it and nearly got crushed by a coconut!

I understand it is a remake, never played the original, but I didn't like that if I touched the side of a coconut I lost but yeah, it works in the scope of the game. Fun stage well worth a play, wish that the scores were up because this would add to the game a lot.

Dang, Nerz. I must apologize. You posted this back in June and I completely missed it. It sounds good and putting into the queue now. It may be a bit before I can play it, I'm super busy at the moment, but I will get to it.2011-09-15 13:21:00

Hi, played it not too long ago and left a small review: Fun little mini game. Has a simple but addictive gameplay & gets harder as time goes by. That's my short feedback.

Overall it is a fun mini game. But visually it could do with a bit more, for example like water moving in the background (the glass water material, or movement of material shape with a slight ripple, decorated with stickers to look like the sea or use hologram material to make it look like light is bouncing from the water surface, similar to the PSP mini version) but only subtle movement and possibly drifting clouds just to add a bit more of visual punch to the overall look of it. I think a bit more variation, clusters or patterns of coconuts dropping would definitely make it more interesting. It could be that I didn't get too far in the game and died too soon so did not get to see everything? I may be wrong so correct me if I am, thanks.

Also it seemed a bit too sensitive, just merely being too close to a coconut or having drop near the edge of you or your side, meant game over. But I guess that may be part of the challenge. However, it would be great to see go further, even with different modes added in or the odd beach ball bounce across that gives you bonus points. Plus the crab is cute.

You've done good job so far and I'll be back to play it again, especially if you expand on it. So you got a deserved yay face like this . My level is up for F4F (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=62046-Caverns-of-the-Lost&p=913071), click the link here in the post or below in my signature. Thanks.

Played it, liked it, left a review =)

Its a fun mini game, hard to say a lot about it as it is a mini game. Fun if you want something quick and easy (Seems the most popular option on LBP actually, to my detriment :/ )

Id agree with the above, the hitbox on the coconuts could be trimmed a little.

Really neat game. i am a sucker for these types of games.

I've got to disagree a little bit with littlebigdes here. I like the minimal backgrounds. It's charming and reminded me of a handheld game or an old console game. I thought the colors were bright and cheerful, and the transition to night was a neat touch. I do agree that there could be a little more flash in the animations, but I would try to keep it minimal so you don't disrupt the simple charm of it all.

The one thing that seemed odd to me is that, in a game called "coconut dodge", I was dodging what looked like pineapples.

As others have said, the hitboxes are a tad odd, and the objects sometimes drop out of range, but there's really nothing to complain about in this level. It's fun, and that's what really matters. Nice job.

Very nice mini-game! It's fun, simple, and addicting. This is a great challenge for casual and 'hardcore' (Do we have any of those on LBP?) to play. I would recommend this to anybody sitting in their pod with nothing to do. Or... Anybody for that matter. The simpleness is my favorite part. It brings all of us down to the fact that you don't need massive amounts of logic, Mr. Bigguns level visuals, or sharks and bombs (Sarcasm) to make an amazingly fun level!

Hi just played it.
It's a nice minigame.
This coconut dodge gets harder as time passes and makes the player want to try go further and beat the highscore.
The design is simple but good.

You should make the water change color when it's getting dark.
Another little thing coconuts and pentagons are falling off the playable zone so you can't catch some of them.

I had another problem, when you press the X button to much time, the crab moves to the right by itself and if you press left, it still goes to the rigth. That's what made me lost on my best try.

Good level btw
