Nine towers, three tropical maps, and a coconut village that needs your help. CoCoRunners is a tower defense game built the classic Fieldrunners way: drag towers onto the path, shape the route into a maze, and stop the coconut creatures before they get through. HOW YOU PLAY Towers sit on a shelf beside the battlefield. Drag them onto the path to place them. Towers block the way, so where you put them shapes the route the creatures have to walk: the longer you make it, the more time your towers get to shoot. NINE TOWERS, NINE JOBS Dart Shooter: fast and short ranged, hits ground and air Coconut Machine Gun: steady rapid fire Coconut Tower: heavy splash damage, but ground only Coral Tower: a spike that pierces a whole row of enemies Ice Totem: freezes everything around it Storm Drum: lightning that strikes the whole area Flame Thrower: burns a cone in front of it Vine Trap: slows down a whole group Coconut Bomber: lobs explosive shells Every tower grows through 10 levels. At levels 4, 7 and 10 you choose between two upgrade paths, for example shooting further or hitting harder, and every single upgrade is visible right there on the tower. THREE LEVELS, NINE STARS Jungle Edge, Jungle Edge: two entrances and Dock Village are all playable on Easy, Tough and Wild. Clear a difficulty and you earn a star, nine to collect in total. The second map sends creatures at you from two directions at once, so one maze is no longer enough. Lives you have left over turn into coins. Spend them in the level select screen on extra starting gold for your next run, or unlock one of the four locked towers for good. BUILT FOR KIDS, FUN FOR EVERYONE Big buttons, no walls of text, everything explained in pictures, made so a seven year old can play it on his own. Turn up the difficulty to Wild and it holds its own for grown ups too. NO ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO ACCOUNT. NO DATA COLLECTED. CoCoRunners has no advertisements, no in-app purchases, and needs no account or internet connection to play. The game does not collect any data about you or your child, everything stays on your device. The game automatically speaks Dutch or English, matching your device's system language. Made by Kaige Productions BV, a small studio run by one dad who built this for his son.
