The Game:
Inspired by games like Balatro, Tetris Effect, Slay the Spire and Vampire Survivors, dive into a simple and fun coin cascade arcade experience using elemental empowered abilities to manipulate the machinery in all sorts of wonderful ways, and follow a story which players can choose to engage with as they play if they wish or just focus on the core simple gameplay.
It's a great game to stream as each coin you play can make or break your run! The tension your followers will feel when you play your last coin, with the whole game slowing and the music swelling as it bounces around the machine, will build the tension brilliantly, until you unleash the coins power send coins cascading everywhere and beat the score target to clear the round!
More importantly - this genre of games is getting real traction across the industry with games like Raccoin, Cupiclaw, Ballionaire, Passant etc all coming this year. Your followers will love to see you exploring this new genre that we call "cheat-em-ups" as you try for more and more ridiculous scores and combos.
At the moment - the game is a playtest demo so won't be perfect - in fact - we want streamers to find the most ridiculous bugs they can - we've had coins flying out of the machines and all sorts. We want to lean into the early nature of the release and its potential. We've got a long way to go and we want you and your community to be a part of the journey.
The game will release with 8 machines, but the playtest showcases the first machine. The following machines will each be based on an element (the second machine being wind themed!). We'd love to hear what the community would like to see in each machine!
Use ability cards to power up your coins giving you the power of the gods as you play.
Combine them to create synergies and smash the coin shelves apart with Fireballs, Frostbolts, lightning, windy blasts and light/dark empowered abilities, granted by the gods.
Unlock powerful Trinkets hidden across each of the 8 machines, offering elemental infused powerful bonuses that you can upgrade permanently through a cool skill tree progression system, ensuring each time you play you get a little more powerful.
Earn Tickets in every playthrough which you spend to upgrade your Trinkets and make each run a little easier as you slowly increase in power.
Forge builds as you progress by choosing multiple Trinkets to assist your runs and get ever closer to unlocking and clearing the final machine were Fortuna, the Goddess of Fortune herself and her antagonistic brother Theodan face off to earn your final allegiance
As your score increases, gain Euphoria energy which leads to a visual feast to enter Euphoria mode where score goes nuts and you get unlimited coins for a short time. The music will pump up and the visuals will explode before your very eyes.
Each level has it's own version too. Level 1 has the trees around the machine grow and bloom into life, and then shower you with beautiful leaves as the music pumps up from it's normal slow rhythm to a full synthetic orchestra as you enter Euphoria!
The very first coin Fortuna hands you is special. It earns experience each time you win it back out of the machine and permanently upgrades each time you play. As it progresses it will unlock unique new abilities and effects that makes every play feel like a new experience.
This coin will journey through all the machines with you, and only gain experience if you successfully win it back each time you use it. Don't panic though, the coin never gets stuck in the machines, it will always be returned to you at the end of each play, but the only way to level it up is by winning it back before the rounds end!
We aim to be Steam Deck compatible on or shortly after launch and we also plan to launch on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 and Xbox Series X/S once the Steam version is out of Early Access which will run until we are happy with the 1.0 version of our game.
