The Cascadier

Game is ideal for players that like roguelike, combo score, and coin pusher. Your goal is to reach the score for each round with the limited coins. Bouncing the coin on more pegs results in a higher score. [h1] Pros: [/h1] None. In it's current state, game is neither fun or fair. [h2]Cons: [/h2] - Give more progress for losing a run. 500 tickets to unlock next upgrade requires too much grind and you only get 20-40 tickets per loss. - Tutorial is not clear and needs more work. I watched YouTube video of a demo and that was more clear than the current version. - Make the quests easier to complete or make rounds longer. Giving player 25 coins to reach goal is not enough and I was losing frequently on the first round. [h3]Suggestions: [/h3] - Improve tutorial and explain keywords and other gameplay aspects. Still not sure what euprhoria does and how to activate it. I had to navigate to the controls menu to learn how to use ability card. - Add a visual counter to show how close player is to completing the quest. Keeping track of is much easier if player knows how many times we need to push coin or hit an object. - Give a 5 second timer before the quest show ups. If you are low on coins, you can't meet the bonus, causing you to lose the round. - Change all quests to be at least 30 seconds. 20 seconds is barely enough to make it. [b] Conclusion: [/b] Game needs more refinement with balance before it will be fair. I am not able to reliably beat the second or third rounds and the game requires heavy grinding for upgrades. Even though this game was inspired by Balatro and Vampire Survivors, this game does not have the features or interesting gameplay to be mentioned in the same sentence as these games.

In the best way, this is reminiscent of those immensely addictive games you'd get on a PS1 demo disc with the looping (earworm worthy) music, a unique but not overbearing art style and productivity destroying gameplay loop. Progress on upgrades is fairly slow, but that gives you time to learn some of the cards (which serve to keep that slow progress interesting). Scratches the deckbuilder itch, whilst also helping to atone for all those 2ps lost in the arcade.

Game is very fun and addicting! I found it hard at first but the more I played the more I unlocked to make runs easier and get further into the harder levels. Really fun so far, especially if you like a chill but engaging experience :)

Really fun game! The graphics are probably the best part I think. Still trying to make it to level 3!

Very enjoyable, pretty addicting gameplay loop, I found myself wanting to get the upgrades for the Trinkets and the grind was fun! I've made it to the 4th machine once so far in around 5 hours which felt rewarding but after a while I found myself wanting to get back, with no luck so far. I do think the 2nd machine is a bit hard, specifically the spinning bit in the centre of the backboard stopping Euphoria build up and I think a bug where the coins get stuck in the side chutes during Euphoria. Overall very enjoyable for the first EA release and looking forward to potential updates!

This game is super fun, it’s a great balance between casual play with enough strategy required to keep it challenging and interesting. Very unique and great fun :D

Очень качественный "coin pusher", где грамотно сочетаются рогалик, пинбол, и в некотором роде жанр карточных игр. Создаем комбо из цепных реакций монеток, используем карты для усиления эффектов. Неспешный увлекательный геймплей, качественное графическое исполнение, игра стоит нашего внимания.

DO NOT BUY. Not sure what they have done but the tutorial starts off at needing 600 points to progress with 25 coins. Coins get stuck everywhere and you can literally do nothing but drop more. They have no support and good luck if you need to go back through the tutorial, there is nothing that gives you an explanation on how to play.
