"This is a coin-pushing roguelike deckbuilder that adopts the format of Balatro. To progress, you need to earn a certain number of points and the target increases each round. Every three rounds there's a sort-of boss - a few coins that negatively impact your game until you can get rid of them. After every round, you'll go to a shop to buy and sell special coins and other upgrades."
"On my first successful run, I found a way to electrify the coins (which boosts their score) by charging them and use passive abilities and special coins to spread and amplify the effect. Then I was able to replicate a special coin that pulls all other nearby coins into a cyclone - having the water-based coins in there helped to spread the electrical effect between other coins."
Steam Next Fest features thousands of game demos available for exploration. Raccoin, a coin-pushing roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Balatro, challenges players to earn points across rounds with increasing targets and boss encounters. Players purchase upgrades and special coins at shops between rounds, discovering synergies to multiply point values. The game offers multiple viable strategies, such as electrifying coins and creating cyclone effects to automate gameplay. The Eternal Life of Goldman presents a hand-drawn platform adventure featuring an elderly protagonist. Both games demonstrate the creative variety within indie game development, with Raccoin launching on Steam March 31.
