Coin Dozer is a coin pusher simulator. The mechanical pusher constantly moves back and forth. You tap the screen to drop coins into the machine, and with a bit of luck/slight bit of timing; you may gain coins/prizes back.
You have a maximum coin limit (I think it is originally 40) and they regenerate every 30 seconds whilst playing, and 9 minutes when not.
In terms of representing a coin pusher, Coin Dozer does it well enough but as well as dropping coins onto the pusher, you can drop them just in front of it, which is strange. The surrounding walls at the back look like a building, and you can also drop coins onto the roof which then slide down, although there seems to be no advantage to do so. Like real machines, coins can go off the sides which you lose, and coins dropping off the front add to your stockpile.
By collecting a certain number of coins, you 'level up', and as a reward for the level, a special token may appear, which when collected, can trigger off the coin showers, large coins, coin walls etc.
Additionally, your 'shake point' meter increases as you collect coins which when triggered, gives the machine a nudge to try help knock prizes and coins over the edge. There are 2 sets of prizes that you collect. Puzzle piece prizes is your main aim in order to 'complete' the game, and the standard prizes that appear help you achieve this aim, which can be one of: bear, puppy, fish, sunglasses, umbrella, car, dice, gems, hearts, whistles, and Yo-Yo. Collecting a set of all colours gives you a bonus.
A full set of: “Bears” give you faster regeneration rates, “Puppies” sometimes change coins into silver coins, “Fish” make prizes appear when collecting giant coins, “Sunglasses” raise the XP awarded from prizes and coins, “Umbrellas” increase coin shower drops, “Cars” give extra coin drops when giant coins appear, “Dice” allow walls to stay up longer, “Gems” give more coins when special coins are collected, “Hearts” give higher Special Coin and Prize drops, “Whistles” allow you to claim prizes that fall down the sides, “Yo-Yo's” increase the coin limit.
Although there are so many upgrades to acquire, I managed to reach level 80 without having many of them. This is because you have to collect 4 colours (cyan, pink, yellow, red) in each prize category and there was always one colour that you didn't seem to get. So you may end up with 6 cyan, 1 pink, 5 yellow, 4 red, and therefore only have level 1 of the bonus because of the lack of pink.
When you start off, you end up running out of coins pretty quick, and have to wait long periods of time for them to regenerate. After I collected the full set of 'puzzle' piece prizes, the standard prizes that I wanted appeared, and I raised my upgrade levels in several areas. It then became hard to actually spend the coins, since I had a higher capacity, and was often getting coin showers, large coin drops, coin walls etc which kept on topping up my coin stash. You can continue to play and acquire the puzzle pieces associated with Game Circus' other games such as Horse Frenzy, Frog Toss and Prize Claw.
Prizes have a mixed graphical style; main prizes have a bold look, and large prizes look more detailed. During my time with Coin Dozer, the game crashed many times which lost a bit of progress.
Coin Dozer is a free to play game with the option of micro-transactions to boost your gaming experience. Removal of adverts cost £1.99, and 60 coins cost a whopping £1.95 but other coin packages are available. If you are insane, you can splash £24.99 on 3000 coins! There is no need to spend money at all unless you want to collect the prizes a bit quicker.
Overall, Coin Dozer isn't much fun, and is one of those mindless and casual games that can help pass/waste your time. If you are looking for an app that will do this, then giving Coin Dozer a shot may be a good idea, but if you are looking for a fun or worthwhile game, then I would recommend avoiding.
