Player Comments on Find Coco the Elephant!

This is a cute little story. I’m guessing that it was indeed intended for children. However, even children could use a bit more to the story. The items were also really neat with excellent pictures included as well. I liked that there were so many items, some had uses, and when they weren’t able to be used, there weren’t error messages.

I do wonder a little about the target audience. With it aimed so low, was the intention for the smaller child to actually read this story? I’m not sure that would happen too often on this site, or actually anywhere on the Internet. So I’m guessing this would be more towards someone reading it to a smaller child. If that’s the case, it works well, but could have perhaps just a little more in the descriptions area of things and places.

I found Coco, and I had fun doing it. The different choices were nice, even if they ended up leading to the same ending. Thank you for sharing this with the site!

Only three or so year olds and under will find any point in this game; I found it amusing enough with the use of the advanced editor but boring in terms of the plot. My eight year old sister is on this site, just telling whoever remarked that there are no five year olds here.

The writing was quite good, and it would be interesting enough for a toddler if they knew how to read and use the computer. :) 4/8.

This storygame would be fun for its target audience (children), so I've rated it a little higher accordingly. Certain things that would detract from a regular storygame, such as a short length, are positives for this storygame given the attention span of young children.

On the other hand, there were some weird spacing issues in some places, and you hadn't accounted for certain situations (for example, when I visited the carpet after receiving the yoyo and then returned to the Toybox, it said I tripped over the yoyo again even though the yoyo was in my inventory at the time).

it's a preschool CYOA

its actually really good, I don't know why people wouldnt like it. The storyline is really for much younger audiences, but the mechanics are cool and i find it interesting that you can pick stuff up, because in most CYOAs .you cannot do that.

This story is very fun because you can pick up items and when you make a mistake it doesn't end the story.

Great for my ESL classes!

I enjoyed te story about the stuffed animals.

Amusing and well put together. Short but I enjoyed it.

This was cute. It really brings me back to childhood memories of imagination and stuffed animals.

Cute for kids! :3

It's an okay story. Obviously intended for children, but I still think it could use a little more description and dialogue.

IT BORED ME A BIT

I liked it, but felt like it is for a younger audience. It could also be a bit longer, I see potential in this story and it could be a lot better if it was longer and explored different lands.

Honestly, that was really cute. I loved how you could interact with different items for different reasons.

Although this was a good storygame, what would've made it better was if there were more steps we would have to take to find Coco. Maybe different lands, different people. That would've been fun to see and really make this story even greater.

Definitely a good story, even if it wasn't aimed toward people my age. 6/8!

D'awh! That was adorable. After all the terrible 1/8 length games I've just been binging, I think I like this game a hell of a lot more than it deserves on the basis of being not shit. :p

This was ok. I would have liked it to have been longer. I feel it would be better for a younger audience. The overall plot was fun though. Good job!

Great and fun and pretty entertaining. A little simple, too. I think you could really expand this to become something awesome.

I really liked this cute story! Good job!

I feel like a toddler now...
Interesting concept, wished it was longer.

This is recommended for kids who are learning to read as this uses simple language and has a kid theme but for mature people yeah not so much.

I'll admit, I was entertained, but it was super short.

Short but I like the idea.

It would be good for children around 4-6 years.

Too short, but the idea was okay. However, I have this feeling that this idea can be expanded into something much more...

This is nice, but simple.

blah

It is what it is.

Kinda fun. But really just for kids.

Decent use of the advanced editor but navigating through the story might be difficult for young children while the story might hold little appeal to those old enough to use the items, decent effort though :)

I find this very entertaining .Its kinda short though :)




8/8

This was a nice and cute childrens story. I found no faults.

This was way too brief and quick, although you did manage to make a puzzle. But the puzzle had a bug where, depending on your choices, you couldn't progress any further. Such a short and brief storygame with one simple puzzle shouldn't have any bugs.

This very much felt like an adventure I would have thought up for myself when I was four. The storyline is laughably simple and the obstacles are very easy to resolve, which meant the story had no tension or any real sense of progress.

That being said, the game was rather adorable and I now really want a stuffed elephant.

Ok I'm seriously laughing! I have two stuffed elephants (don't judge) and they're named COCO! (I'm an elephant freak, I also have the stuffed elephant in that picture) All personal connections aside, this was a cute little game! I don't understand the bad ratings! This was adorable! 8/8!

Very short, a cutesy fetch quest. I know it's meant for little kids, but it still doesn't seem like much effort was put into it.

If you go to the toybox first, the game becomes unwinnable. You give the yoyo to the toy guard, then you have to leave the toybox to get the water gun. When you come back you no longer have the yoyo to give him, so you can't get back in.

It's kind of cute and isn't too bad of a story if you think about it as being from a child's perspective. There are a few little bugs in the storygame, though. It would have been far better if it had more details.

Easy but nice

Pretty cute. Not entertaining for me, personally, but I can imagine my 7 year old sister enjoying it.

Nice short story for children

Haha Awesome first story dude. I got a kick out of it :P

If I had a younger brother or sister they would like it

A nice children's story. I might read this with my younger brother at some point.

This was a cute game, I think my little sister would like it if someone sat with her and helped her read everything.

Not very deep or long, but your writing is good and the understanding of the advanced controls seems to be up to par.

Well it seemed like it was ment for a young audience but randomly I found that I enjoyed it. Its a well put together little game and I can't fault it for not being aimed at me as the target audience :)

hmm...I thought it was cute... but what was the point of the mega phone?
Yeah, It was real cute! Perfect for kids with short attention spans. maybe make one thats a little more complicated next time?

It was a fun game to play. It was short and full of choices on each page.

Its ok....but not really wortH the time.

Short and sweet. Worth two or three minuets of your life.

good for children, however, and i can assure you of this, there are no 5 year olds on CYOS

Kind of funny for small kids. Wait, then what I'm doing here?

i thought it was nice but way to short. still it shows promise

Nice short simple story, however I would prefer it if you made it longer and changed it to be less linear.

room for improvment

If you're in the mood for something simple, this is really quite good! Hopefully you can use what you've learnt making this for future games. Keep up the good work!

Awesome Does NOT Approve!
Uh.. I don't know where anyone keeps getting the 'cute' and 'very fun' from. All I see is a short game with no imagination and linear plot the whole game. There are four (Or three?) items, and that doesn't stir up too much fun. Why can't I use the water gun on the first guard, and beat the lion with a hard Yo-Yo? Take these things into consideration, and I don't want to sound rude or like a jerk.
2/8

nice game,especially for young kids, but it's a bit short and there's not many places to go to.

I agree with most of the comments. It's cute. I think you could--if you wanted--make it more...candylandish? With more "things" to do, go through etc. I would get my kids to play with this (if it was a little longer, and you know, if I had kids...).

Cute if I was 6 I would give it a 8 but i'm not and it's kinda short.

Awww, so cute! All in all, a good game. If I had kids, I'd read them this game!

a very cute story. if I were 15 years younger I'd have given it an 8.

This was kind of cute...for what it was, it was kind of adorable.

Short, cute, and cuddly. :3

All immaturity aside, it was a great success for an advanced-storygame test. So, how about progressing to something a little longer and more serious?

I liked the pictures. The story was ok.

I am not sure even children would like this but maybe I am wrong.

It was a nice first advance game, although it was very simple but I guess its because it was children based.

Despite being really short and basic, I actually found this game kind of cute. There is a problem you should fix though, where if you go to the toybox first and then go back and look at the carpet, you can't get past the guard when you go back to the toybox again, since you've already used your yo-yo.

While I thought it was a bit simple, it does demonstrate a smooth use of items. Not bad at all =)

Don't know if I'm being harsh or generous with my rating of 3. The game had no plot, was incredibly linear, and had a sentence per page. However, since it's meant for kids, (I assume) it is understandable that the game has no real game elements.
Edit the game with basic additions. Who are you, and why are you there. Also, allow for multiple ways to solve a puzzle, especially if you give no clues to what you are needed to do. How would I know a toy guard wanted a yo-yo for exampl.
