+Cafeman Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 23,310. I have suffered enough for tonight. SERIOUSLY. What a sad little game. I thought there were 3 stages but no, only 2 stages?! what is this, 4K ? The game gets a bit more fun with practice, once you learn where not to jump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, about the graphics, I'm not having any problems controlling it, controls just fine to me. VGC what a whiner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it slowly increases in difficulty every level, not sure when it stops increasing, but level 9 was just a wall of coconuts and they came down fast, I had 2 extra people and the coconuts killed me before I could even get up the first tier.
