Coconut Launch

Getting your game ready…

How to play

Pull back and let go

Drag back anywhere on the board and release to fire the coconut from the vine slingshot. Pull further for a harder, longer shot; the angle of your drag sets the direction. With a keyboard, Up and Down tilt the aim, Left pulls back further, Right eases off and Space launches; P pauses and R restarts the level. The first four levels show the flight as a dotted line, and your last shot’s path stays faintly on the board so you can correct the next one.

Bring down every beetle crate

Each level hides fruit in crates stamped with a beetle. A crate counts as down when it breaks, tips over, drops from its perch or is shoved well off its spot, and its fruit pops free. Clear them all before your coconuts run out. Each beetle crate is worth 500 points, broken blocks add a little more, and every coconut you did not need adds 1,000. Clearing a level within its par earns three stars.

Strategy

Hit what holds it up

Bamboo snaps easily, wood splinters after a solid knock and stone barely notices an ordinary coconut. Instead of aiming straight at a beetle crate, take out the post or plank beneath it, or tip a stone slab onto it. A tall tower hit low usually brings down more than one hit at the top.

Pick the moment for each coconut

The heavy coconut joins at level 9: it smashes stone and ploughs through walls, so point it at the stoniest part of a fort. Watch the waiting coconuts behind the slingshot to see which one comes next. The triple coconut joins at level 17: tap the board or press Space while it flies to split it into three. Split early to spread across several targets, or late to hit one tower with all three.

About the game

Crates, bamboo and stone

Coconut Launch is an original fun small games physics puzzle in the slingshot demolition tradition: twenty-four handmade levels of wooden crates, bamboo frames and mossy stone. Every block stacks, slides and breaks for real, so a well-placed shot can bring down more than you aimed at. The beetles are only stamps on the crates, and the fruit always pops out whole.
