## Description

_VeggieTales: Minnesota Cuke and the Coconut Apes_ is a 2D side-scrolling
platformer based on _VeggieTales_ , a US series of children’s computer
animated television shows, videos, and feature films. The player controls
Minnesota Cuke (Larry the Cucumber) who as a master explorer has recovered the
fable Crock of Hookie Balookie. However, his plane crashes in the jungle and
when he recovers it his treasure is gone. In fifteen levels he needs to track
the Crock to the legendary city of the Coconut Apes with the help of Bob the
Tomato. He collects items, defeats enemies and needs to get past platforms
with different behaviour. Collecting items is required to unlock the next
level. The game incorporates a lasso mechanic that can be used to grab
platforms and swing to a next one. He has a small amount of lives represented
as hearts.

The game has parental controls through a password protected virtual egg timer
that can be used to limit the playtime. There an easy mode can also be
activated to provide unlimited tries and help with harder sections. For
instance if Cuke needs to get past a pit and misses a jump the cucumber will
bounce out of it and continue instead of losing a life.
