How to Play Coco Monkey

To select, left click with your mouse. This game’s controls were optimized for desktops with keyboards. Select a level on the bottom of the welcome screen to begin.

Press the A key or the left arrow key to move to the left. Press the D key or the right arrow key to move to the right. Press the W key to jump. If you ever need to reset the level, press the R key.

Use the mouse cursor to aim your coconuts. Left click to shoot. To turn a coconut into a coconut arrow, shoot it somewhere adjacent to the monkey, then jump on it. You can pick up arrows and coconuts that have not split open by selecting them. Shoot the arrow as you would with the coconuts.

Basic Gameplay Advice

Your goal is to reach the banana somewhere at the end of the level. Jump across chasms and avoid hitting spikes. If you touch a spike, you die.

You start each level with a limited number of coconuts. You can use the coconuts for a variety of purposes to help you reach the banana.

• Shooting coconuts onto spike pits turns them into platforms. Be sure to shoot them far enough to create enough platforms for you to hop over.
• Shooting coconuts to the beside the monkey will let you stomp on them and turn them into arrows. Arrows can be used to knock objects off or form ladders the monkey can climb on.

You can also drop the coconuts mid-jump to give you an extra boost.

The game has 15 levels, which are unlocked sequentially. You can replay any of the levels you’ve already unlocked. In later levels, you will encounter barriers that look like red blocks with glyphs of padlocks on them. To remove these blocks, you must hit a switch with either the monkey, a coconut, or a coconut arrow.

You can reset the level as many times as you can.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

You should toss whole coconuts if you’re trying to cross a large chasm full of spikes. You can also use these coconuts to create a nest or platform for the carrot to fall into.

If the path before you is too narrow to jump over, consider making coconut arrows. These can be used to create a new path over the danger via a ladder or to knock off the banana and bring it closer to where you can collect it.

Before tossing coconuts or arrows, try to get as close as you possibly can to your target. This will help improve your throw’s accuracy. Arrows travel a greater distance than plain coconuts. If you need to throw the coconut farther away, convert it to an arrow first.

In this game, the only thing that matters is that you get the banana. If you seize the banana but fall onto spikes, the game will still consider it a win regardless as long as you seized the banana first. This can help take some of the worries out of clearing especially tight levels where a safe landing isn’t guaranteed.

Educational Aspects

On top of hand-eye coordination, this game hones a player’s strategic thinking skills. Players must think creatively and use what they have at their disposal (i.e. the coconuts and the terrain) to reach the banana.
