Drop coconuts on hapless tourists in this rhythm arcade game!
You can only throw coconuts on the beat, so listen to the music.

I like it
Using google chrome.
I got 9400 points!
The music is cool
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.
good attention to detail with leaving the tourists upside down to mark past kill and making a sand noise for coconut impact.
the Reborn-animation of these coconuts are so frequently and smooth~~~ The whole screen and progress are all full of rhythm~
Very Good~~ also the method of throw coconuts!
relax and fun~~ like it!
