One of the awesome things about being a game developer is market research. By that, I mean when a new game comes out that is getting some attention, it’s usually worthwhile checking it out to see what all about, what it’s doing right and why it’s noteworthy. Yes, that’s right…sometimes I must play games as part of my job. Oh, the sacrifice.

Since I’m working on PSP miniS lately, I’ve been keeping tabs on new releases via pspminis.com and the Sony PlayStation Blog. And one title that’s been getting some attention is Coconut Dodge.

In Coconut Dodge, you play as Clawrence, a treasure hungry crab. You collect falling treasure whilst dodging falling coconuts. It’s addictive, and a really easy game to learn to play which is something I think is underrated these days. I think the most awesome thing about Coconut Dodge though, is that after it was released the developers solicited feedback from players and then made changes and released a free update that addressed issues that player had. 360 degree feedback….excellent!

Coconut Dodge is good, simple fun, and worthwhile looking into if you’re a PSP or PS3 owner.
