Quite enjoyed this game before the awful "1.0" release. Wanted to give the game a try for the first time since the big update and it runs way worse than it ever did during the early access, and it never ran well in the first place, mind you. Shame, used to be a very enjoyable chill game that I'd play after late shifts, hope they get the issues sorted out asap. Will change the review to a positive one when/if that happens.

I love this game and have put way more hours into it than I ever thought I would. The dev has been working hard to continue adding new things even many, many years later. My only complaint is that he has been trying very hard to update the game into new versions of unity to remove a lot of the jank it has, but it, so far, has kinda backfired. After the most recent update, I have had tons of issues jumping, I lose health all the time just for running and jumping down the street, I enter stores and my character is suddenly sliding on ice, and I have had to restart the game multiple times because it just doesn't realize I have changed locations and I can no longer interact with anything. Aside from that, some of the games could definitely still use tweaks, like the cranes drop too far, superball machines take forever to register when a ball lands in the hole, coins in all the coin pusher machines tend to bunch up too much, occasionally coins and prizes fall out of machines upon loading, and a few others.

I only list these issues because I hope the dev works to get them fixed, not to scare anyone away from getting the game. It's wonderful, and I wish the best for the one dude that has put so much work into it.

When you have movement controls this bad and almost like you're on ice you should definitely not have fall damage. You can take half your hp in damage just for jumping sometimes. The games might be fun but I just couldn't get past how horrid the movement was.

I have really enjoyed this game. I love classic arcade games and machines that are like real arcades. I tried other arcade games like tower unite but don't like the online aspect, this i enjoy because it's single player, play machines as you want and when you want. I love the the little different areas for game machines like the mall, Larry's arcade, carnival games the dev is on top of the updates and making sure to try and make the game better by doing things that the community are asking for. Would love to see some more arcade games appearing in the future but what's on it now I enjoy playing. This game is worth the try especially if you like arcade games and want a game that's chilled and offline and enjoy your own time. I like both modes the birthday and survival mode. Plays great on the steam deck where I have been playing on the deck for the last few hours. Definitely recommend

Game is super fun and goofy, I love all of the different arcade machines and there's tons of variety with what games you can try. I did think that the shooting range was broken initially but it turns out the reticle isn't lined up to where you're actually aiming. Aside from that, no issues personally

Not a good game to be honest. It cannot handle 5120x1440 at all. The margins are so off in it, you cannot press many things, since it off the screen. This update is a joke. How is it possible that esc no longer works.

Throughout The Coin Game's development, I've been keeping an eye on how it has progressed since it came into early access and now into it's 1.0 launch last week. I will say, I wasn't sure if I was going to recommend it after all of the bugs and issues that the game had once it reached 1.0, but thankfully a lot of my concerns are either fixed or being worked on, so good on Devotid and the rest of the dev team for being honest.

That being said though, I've been a lifetime fan of arcade games and The Coin Game has them in spades. From claw machines to pachinko and everything in between, there are plenty of games for you to earn tickets to spend on prizes that you can either keep for yourself or trade in for cash, which can be spent on food and supplies or even a bit of gambling. I found that Birthday mode was useful in getting the hang of the game before jumping into Survival mode and reaching the ending. There's also the free play mode where you can just play the arcade games for fun, but I've yet to try that mode.

Overall, this game, although small, is a fun way to knock out a few hours and I recommend you try it if you wanna play some arcade games!

This is easily one of the jankiest sims in the world, but it's also one of the most enjoyable.

It's basically a modern arcade simulator that comes with a bunch of cabs, as well as a survival mode so you can immerse yourself in a world where you are the only productive human alive and have to try your best to survive in a world mostly inhabited by robots.

Highly recommended and can play on a potato.

I could write a lot about this game and what it does well and what I personally care for in it. My subjective review is: Sad millennial retirement simulator (positive connotation).

I play exclusively on survival, and have been playing for years. Since 2020, I've played the game on a family account for longer than I've owned it on this one.

At the time of writing, the game is split into the 1.0 release and the legacy branch. Legacy being a late Early Access version of the game. The only meaningful difference gameplay wise is that Legacy coin pushers generally work a little better, but as 1.0 polishes physics it will likely become superior overall. Most other arcade games work the same, or even better than before. Otherwise 1.0 has some inventory and world collision bugs that have put a splotch on the full release. Some older bugs still linger. Mostly to do with leaderboards and one specific game cabinet that comes to my mind.

So what does the game do? The main attraction are the dozens of Arcade ticket-winner games. You got claw machines, coins pushers, ball droppers, mole whackers, and many of these types of games of skill. You won't get a lot of video game-y things although there is a space invaders type of cabinet if I recall. Most of these are done adequate to great, and I can't think of a single one I don't like because of the due to programming/implementation. There might be other games with more arcades, or focus on a specific niche and do it in a flashier style, there's more than enough here done well to keep anyone happy.

All these games are in various arcades and locations around a small island. Where you have a little life simulator to engage with if you wish. Survival mode adds a layer of very light health/energy/curfew mechanics, but I mean very light. It's not difficult nor was it meant to be. Still, it gives you more of a reason to engage with some of the secondary locations and activities like doing chores for extra cash.

Islandville itself is put together in a very solo dev ramshackle type of way. Most obvious example being the simple robots instead of people being much easier to animate. It could even turn people off. I find it charming though. Like a community theater play where some of the very visible seams in artifice is part of the charm. There's just a nice atmosphere around the island and if you're the type of person to just enjoy chilling and roaming around an area you'll likely love what it has to offer.

Currently, the recent 1.0 release has caused a lot of commotion. Not all of it good. Some of the bugs and issues are the type there are no excuse for. If this were any other developer it would make me reluctantly mark No for recommended. If I hadn't played this game for years and know how the dev works it might have still been a No. However I'm reasonably confident the game will be patched up and become overall better than the legacy branch by a large margin. Devotid has always been a slow, steady, sometimes silent, but always dependable developer. If that's enough to turn someone away I'd understand.

[h1]一人独享的海岛电玩城，《The Coin Game》1.0圆了童年梦[/h1]

《The Coin Game》是一款让我彻底找回童年快乐、又顺便体验了一把“岛民生活”的街机冒险游戏。它出自一位个人开发者之手，却塞满了一座岛都装不下的奇思妙想。

一进游戏，周遭环境一股GTA圣安地列斯的画风，本以为是什么粗制滥造骗钱的游戏，直到我走进了“拉里街机厅”，里面全是各种电玩城的游戏，什么推币机、抓娃娃机、投篮机、打地鼠机、步枪打靶等等，现实电玩城100元也就几百个币，几百个币有时候一下午都玩不了，而在这里我可以无限投币直到抓到我爱的娃娃、直到投进每一个篮筐，看到源源不断的奖券从机器里出来，这时候我就会觉得原来我也是电玩糕手。但别以为本作只是让你在机器前干坐，整座岛屿都是你的游乐场：

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3690696056

你可以去海边放烟花，也能钻进90年代风格的购物中心，

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3690696322

在美食广场和私人影院里泡上一整天（虽然电影很难看）。要是嫌不够刺激，水上乐园、碰碰车、卡丁车、迷你高尔夫，甚至海盗主题的遥控船比赛都等着你。如果你都腻了，那还有更“刺激”的——加油站买刮刮乐，越刮越上瘾，但是不知道是怎么回事，钱包余额也越来越少。

游戏内含多种模式，生存模式里（有健康体力系统、资金也并不是无限需要靠自己搞钱），玩家需要一边盯着手表上的健康值，一边精打细算：送报纸、翻垃圾桶，实在不行就跑去把家里值钱的东西全卖给典当行——当然，有时候也得厚着脸皮找Phil叔叔要零花钱。但如果你只想躺平，生日模式直接打开无限现金，碳酸饮料和奶酪泡泡随便塞，用黏糊糊的手指去点爆那50多台风格各异的街机，那叫一个自在。

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3690671335

岛上交通也够你折腾，公交车、高尔夫球车、自行车，甚至还能开跑车，生存模式需要自己挣钱买车，而生日模式玩家不仅坐拥所有种类的车，还可以手表一键传送到地图各个位置。

总之，《The Coin Game》就像一座为你一个人开放的街机天堂，有挑战，有胡闹，也有那种“想怎么玩就怎么玩”的自由劲儿。要是你心里还住着那个攥着游戏币不肯回家的小孩，这座岛绝对值得你住下来。本作在3月19日也是迎来了[url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/598980/view/525369818740686931]1.0大版本更新[/url]，优化了游戏提升了游戏的加载速度，增加了新的玩法以及支持了更多语言，开发者还悄悄透露，等这个版本稳下来，接下来要搞的就是多人模式了。

这座街机天堂，看来还远远没有到头呢。

Sadly the game is in a pretty terrible state right now. devotid and/or Kwalee decided to release the game's 1.0 patch WAY too early when the game wasn't stable. I'm leaning more towards it being Kwalee's fault since they locked their discord prior to the release which is incredibly shady behavior. Hoping devotid can get this fixed and win the trust of the community back, because yeah. This is not a good look.

⭐ The Coin Game – A Hidden Gem Packed With Charm and Chaos 4/5
The Coin Game is one of those rare titles that takes a simple concept and turns it into hours of pure, joyful fun. The arcade atmosphere is spot‑on: tons of machines to try, from coin pushers and slot machines to carnival games and full‑on rides. Every corner feels like a nostalgic trip to a late‑night boardwalk arcade, complete with quirky prizes and that “just one more token” energy.
There’s so much to do that it’s easy to lose track of time. Whether you’re grinding tickets, exploring the island, or chasing that mysterious hidden ending (which is absolutely worth finding), the game constantly surprises you with how much personality it has.
I love the job system too—it adds a fun layer of progression—but I definitely wish there were more jobs to try out. With all the “coming soon” signs in the shops, you can tell the developer has big plans, and honestly, that’s exciting. The foundation is already fantastic, and it feels like there’s a lot more content on the horizon.
If you enjoy arcades, quirky sims, or games with tons of charm, The Coin Game is absolutely worth diving into. I can’t wait to see what gets added next.

great game, so many fun places to explore, ran great donno what the other reviews are on about. On a budget build it ran perfectly fine.

what surprised me about this game is how different each arcade is, I was under the impression the arcade you spawn at was the only one they offer but after riding around in my lambo and or being driven around by my butler, I realized the world is vast. The community is lively

ps. having robots follow you around constantly screaming fills the void in my soul and reminds me im not alone in this world

ps2 I really enjoyed the go carting and lazar tagging in this game.

ps3 I hope in the future the developer add more games and not lock them behind a dlc like other games similar to this

ps4 me did like this game and me thinks this game deserves more and me thinks the voice lines were really funny at times me thinks that was good details

lastly ps5 me thinks the movie was a little underwealming with the ending and me thinks the little details are awesome still tho

Not bad, but not great either. I have 2 main gripes with this game for the little amount of time I've played with it: 1) even though my system says it is running 70 FPS, it feels like 40. My guess it lacks some kind of smoothening? I dont know. 2) Some arcade games are straight up impossible to play as intended, as they require depth perception to play them, like the grabber game. Websites like Toriba have multiple camera angles on the machine for that reason so you actually can estimate what you are doing.

Also, if you play Bingo, make sure you bought many cards, because you've to win it to leave the game. And it takes a long whole, as every number announcement takes 10 seconds. It makes for a decent 'podcast game' though.

I don't hate it, but I dont love it either.

New update broke the game.
My game soft locked twice in the first day in survival rebooting all my progress.
Fell through the map getting on my bike and it kept resetting me back to where I was falling through the map. Unable to pause, my only option was to close the game.
Noticed when choosing my character, the outfit I chose was ignored as well.

Welp, I guess it had to happen. The inevitable "This game was great in early access, but 1.0 ruined it."

I would like to thank the Dev for adding a branch so people can access the old build still, that's honestly great. And I don't really blame them for this, since it sounds like this is more publisher meddling.

I think half of the backlash is coming from calling it 1.0. Because, okay, a new update comes out and there's bug and stuff, it's a small game from, I'm pretty sure, a one person dev team. Understandable and inevitable. But this is supposed to be 1.0. And I hate doing this, because I love this game and I can see the passion that's been poured into it. And the new content looks great and I really want to enjoy it, but as is, the game is just really off kilter.

Hopefully things get straightened out over the next few weeks and I can come back to see the game working properly again, at which point I'd happily recommend the game to people again. But as is, it's pretty busted and I hate to see that from a game I've had a lot of fun with.

New update is absolutely atrocious. I now get weird screen tearing/visual bugs. Such as the camera (pov) getting slightly skewed and weird smearing. I also can no longer shift through my flashlight or the gun while holding tickets, I sometimes just can't press escape (it does nothing) and some other minor issues (games taking forever to load and leave, some areas like the slides have no sound)

I really liked this game, but haven't played it in months and saw I had the 1.0 update to install and now... It's completely riddled with bugs and is basically unplayable. I didn't even know that it was even possible for a game to get that substantially worse. :/ There's probably plans to fix this stuff, but I can't recommend this game at this time. Just wait a bit for things to hopefully get fixed

I bought this game right before it left early access. Im glad I did because now I understand how GARBAGE the 1.0 release is.

Firstly, the performance, in EA, I was getting upwards of 250 FPS, that has gone down to 200, and the game looks the same. The main offender was the Steam Deck, it is "Unsupported", but it did run well, 60+ FPS, native controller support, it was good. But now, 20 FPS on a good day, broken UI menus.

Secondly, the physics. The EA physics were great, now they feel like the unity default, with coins that vibrate and meld into one mass. For a physics based game, it sucks.

Thirdly, no content in the 1.0! No new machines, just some survival mode updates, and ruining the UI and physics.

If you want to play the good version of the game, Right click on the game in the side menu, press Properties > Game Versions and Betas > legacy.

Game: 9/10
1.0 Update: -1/10

This game has such great potential. This new build is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful for performance. I want this game to be good, it /is/ good at the bones.

This is an awesome game to play whenever you want to just chill out and play a simple game that doesn't require much thought process. I love how accurate each game is to the real life counterpart, and the little copyright friendly plays on the different brands and machines is a nice touch. The survival mode is also a lot of fun when you want something a bit more challenging, and the special payment for certain prizes everyday assures you'll end up at a different arcade everyday.

However, there are also a lot of things I find particularly irritating. For starters, the carnival game prizes far outweigh the normal arcade prizes in value, while also containing seemingly more than half the games prizes. This makes the usefulness of returning to the different arcades to experience each game feel much less rewarding, as you'd have to spend hours grinding to get the same prize you'd spent only 5 minutes earning at the carnival. The only other thing I have to complain about would be the avatars, as they are very bland and I really wish there was some way to customize their body type or apply different cosmetics earned from playing survival or something like that.

Other than that this game is phenomenal and I wish the developer best of luck in further improving this game in the future.

TL;DR - The game is fun, and successfully emulates a lot of existing arcade machines. However, the 1.0 release has been quite disappointing, and I hope we see more updates in the future to fill out some of the game and its features.

The Coin Game is a really fun, unique and charming arcade sim that allows you to play versions of arcade machines found at most arcades. In that sense, it’s a dream come true. Being able to play a plethora of games, win tickets and earn prizes is so enticing. I’ve had this game since 2022, and even back then in early access it was a great time. However, the recent 1.0 release has been a bit underwhelming (which seems like a sentiment a lot of others share). While I understand the shift to an upgraded engine took an immense amount of time and work, I also can’t help but feel like there’s little to no difference in the gameplay. The game still runs the same, not fantastic but serviceable. From what I could find, there’s nothing much of note that’s been added in the games 1.0 release besides a location you can only access at the end of the survival mode (still in beta). I can’t imagine how much effort went into updating the engine but also, I don’t think this game should’ve released in 1.0 in the state it’s currently in. Preferably, if there was more time spent in early access to refine and optimize the game, finish things like the survival mode, adding multiplayer as well as maybe a new location with new games. If you’re like me and have played this game before in early access, there’s nothing really different or substantial between that and its current, full release. I still reccomend this game, because I think its concept it’s fantastic and for the most part, the games all play well and are fun. I just agree with others that this probably shouldn’t have came out of early access when it did, since I think alot of people are disappointed because it still doesn’t feel that much like a finished game. I figured that the dev, just one guy, might be able to make more substantial updates following his teaming up with a publisher, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I just really, really hope that this game continues to receive free updates with new content. Because as I said, this game is a blast! It just needs more work

Was fantastic until full release. the forced eulas absoultely ruined the game. the publishers have scraped data from these, and a recent "win a plushie" event only hosted on x or intsa requireing the possibility of location verification to win ie; id or proof of location and legality of the sweepstakes' rule to recieve a tbh nothing like the games plushie, plushie... i bought this years ago and am now forced to agree before starting the game, and upon entering before the main menu. sad to see another dev sell out like that. less and less communication from original dev, and just the pubs. i'd hate to se this go the way of jalopy's dev minskworks and exalibur.

survival mode is now town debt simulator, with passive income if you "help" fix the town and investing in boarded up buildings. lame. at least they have a free play mode. game still looks like it did years ago, just more fps loss and performance issues. bug galore on console and pc, while the discord is locked down for some reason.

no thanks. another game in the bin of forced eulas and data scraping to play a game. a basic arcade game at that.

(edit) just download the pre 1.0 beta.

At its heart, this game is pretty fun and decent. It's a jank kinda immersive sim around playing arcade classics that is mostly pretty fun.

However, with this survival mode, this game shouldn't have been released as 1.0. It needs a little more time to cook. One of the basics I'd like to see is the ability to actually retain your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ inventory when you quit the game. I spent some time last session grinding tickets out and filling my inventory with prizes to save and sell for next session, including a 1st place trophy for the kart racing. I open the game today and this is all gone. I've still got the golf cart I just bought and a bag of cheesy poofs, but just losing everything else I had has really taken my motivation to keep playing. All the other bugs I could deal with, like the fuel meter on the golf kart just straight up lying and leaving you stranded, or getting on your bike to get sucked underground and then you reset and it warps your bike miles away but leaves you stranded where you are, or all the other racers on the kart race getting into a line so that they're impossible to pass without throwing your time and wasting the last few minutes, or the claw in the claw machine somehow finding its way into a different claw machine, causing it to constantly spit out prizes, or random robots warping into you and around you at light speed for seemingly no reason, quickly draining your health. All this ♥♥♥♥ I can deal with and add to the charm of this game, but losing all my progress?

That's not to mention the performance. It doesn't matter what quality the game is running at, I will get a consistent 70fps on my 9070XT max and this will make my computer sound like it's taking off into space. I'm not sure why, most the game looks simple and I don't remember early access being anything like this, not even when I was running this game on a 960. And you know what would be nice to a game in full 1.0 release? A frame rate limit option would be nice so that the main menu doesn't try to run at 500fps, or the ability to change your screen resolution. All things I would expect on a full release.

Put this game back in, it ain't done yet.

Ignore the degenerate gamblers mad that their coin pusher simulator of choice is different now, this bizarre friendly robot island survival sim is so much better now that there's actual progression and investment income to ease the early tedium. There's still a lot of jank that actively interferes with the parts outside the coin games (sadly by design if the dev notes about begrudgingly fixing collision on mailboxes are anything to go by), but overall this is a fun and unique experience on top of being a great collection of classic ticket redemption arcade games.

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, ob ich ein Spiel gestartet habe oder ob mein Rechner plötzlich beschlossen hat, ins Jahr 2003 zurückzureisen. Und nein, selbst wenn man die Grafik hochdreht, sieht das Ganze aus wie ein nostalgischer Fiebertraum von einem Kartoffel PC.

Der Himmel flackert fröhlich vor sich hin, als würde er Morsezeichen senden. Vielleicht versucht er Hilfe zu rufen. Ich kann es ihm nicht verdenken.

Ich sitze hier mit einem High End System und das Spiel denkt sich einfach
Nein danke, ich laufe trotzdem wie ein schlecht gelaunter Toaster.

Und dann der Content. Oder besser gesagt das Fehlen davon. Für den Preis bekommt man ungefähr so viel Inhalt wie in einer leeren Chipstüte. Viel Luft, wenig Substanz.

Das Gameplay selbst ist auch ein kleines Abenteuer. Man wirft gefühlt 117 Münzen in einen Automaten, nur um festzustellen, dass die Physik ungefähr so zuverlässig ist wie ein Einkaufswagen mit kaputtem Rad. Münzen bleiben hängen, bewegen sich komisch oder ignorieren einfach die Existenz von Gravitation.

Ich dachte kurz, vielleicht ist das ein Feature. Vielleicht ist das ein realistischer Simulator für Frust.

Dazu kommen Bugs, Bugs und noch mehr Bugs. Es wirkt ein bisschen so, als hätte jemand 2019 gesagt
Wir veröffentlichen das jetzt einfach und schauen dann mal, was passiert
Spoiler: Es ist nicht viel passiert.

Ganz ehrlich, wenn ihr auf solche Spiele steht, schaut euch lieber Tower Unite an. Da bekommt ihr deutlich mehr Inhalt, bessere Grafik, sauberere Mechaniken und sogar Coin Games, die wirklich Spaß machen. Ja wirklich, Spaß. Dieses Konzept scheint hier leider optional zu sein.

Fazit
Wenn ihr schon immer mal wissen wolltet, wie es sich anfühlt, Geld in ein schwarzes Loch aus Bugs und fragwürdiger Physik zu werfen, dann greift zu. Alle anderen sparen sich Zeit, Nerven und holen sich lieber etwas, das tatsächlich fertig ist.

Ich für meinen Teil werde mir das zurückerstatten lassen, bevor der Himmel endgültig abstürzt.

I bought this game in Early Access after seeing it on the YouTube channel BrutalMoose and loved it. My favorite games were Dunko and Mermaids From Space. I am using past tense as with the 1.0 release the game is broken. Any COIN GAMES are broken. I didn't try anything else in 1.0 as they are not the reason I've been playing this game. I guess I'll revert to the EA version until things are sorted. I'll update my review if this get fixed but for now the game is ruined.

I loved this game during its time in Early Access, LOVED it, so it truly pains me to say this but as of right now I cannot recommend this game. The 1.0 update seems to have fundamentally broken key parts of the game: performance is worse, physics is worse, progression is worse, and bugs are worse. Just about every part of the game that got changed for 1.0 is worse than it was in E.A.. It's really disappointing to see such a well regarded and well liked Early Access title get pushed to release before its actually done.

I put almost 50 hours into the Early Access of this game. I loved this game when it was being sold as a work in progress, but if this is what they consider a "finished" game then I cannot and will not recommend this to anyone. Do not buy this right now. If the idea of an Arcade Simulator is interesting to you, wishlist this and see if they actually fix the post-launch issues. Give it a few months, that's what I plan to do, but whatever you do...

DO. NOT. BUY. THIS. UNFINISHED. GAME.

What are this new terms and service? "Kwalee does not have to provide maintenance or support." and class action waivers?! Data collection? Can't even launch the game without accepting the terms and service!

There's been no updates or communication from the dev or team since the 1.0 launch. They locked all discussions for bug reports and are removing posts regarding broken physics, missing content, and more.

Don't get the game. Pre-1.0 This was THE game I recommended. The games were as accurate as you could get them to a real arcade. Now they've removed "Birthday mode" (freeplay) and completely changed everything. Not even the coin pushers work.

I'm heartbroken. I hope it gets fixed. If not, well... I guess my favorite game is gone.

이 게임을 무려 7년 전에 구매했었다. 근데 컨텐츠가 너무 부족해서 환불했었는데 이번에 정식출시 했길래 큰 기대를 하며 다시 구매했다. 게임장이 거의 그때 그 모습 그대로라 조금 실망을 하고 시작했다.

근데 밖에 나가니까 하늘이 미친듯이 깜빡거리는 심각한 버그를 마주했다(여기서 크게 실망). 거기다가 NPC랑 부딫히니까 이리저리 순간이동을 하고 난리를 친다(7년동안 뭐한건지??). 맵이 엄청 커지고 뭔가 많아지긴 했는데 진정 재미를 느낄 수 있는 컨텐츠는 많은지 난 모르겠다. 영어 리뷰들 읽어보니까 미완성 출시, 최악의 업데이트라는 말이 많다.

7년 전 처음으로 이 게임을 했을 때 적어도 버그는 못 봤었고 갓겜 될 것 같은 잠재력이 보였었다....

This game is an amazing labor of love.

It's janky for sure, when it comes to the UI and first-person movement, but the arcade machines themselves are pretty top-notch. If you can look past some of the rough game design and rather appreciate the charm, the humorous robots and the realistically simulated arcade machines, you might enjoy it. The developer is clearly passionate about their game with all the content they've made for it over the past decade (it technically started development in 2016).

Returned it after about 40 minutes. I didn't play the early access so I can't compare, but this was TERRIBLE. In no way is this a full release.

Movement was horrible. Audio cut in and out, mostly silent. The games aren't smooth which takes away from the fun. Everything is janky, the driving is unbelievably bad. I was over it within 15 minutes.

The early access page stated 1.0 would have multiplayer; it doesn't. Did they give up on it?

I waited a couple years for 1.0, and I'm shocked how many small issues I've run into as a first time player. No use from inventory key, but stuff regularly falls through the map when dropping. Inventory either loses mouse or won't close, getting hit by a (silent) car does no damage but hitting a robot will drain my health sometimes? It feels really unpolished for 1.0, an insanely cool premise and solid EA period, but it still needs love imo

This game was clearly a labor of love, I have been following it since very early on. To watch it develop over the years was interesting. While the engine used is Unity... (I tend to think games made with Unity and Unreal are generally plug and play garbage), this game offers something very unique. A chance to play all of those old coin games from looong ago, painstakingly re-created to work within the engine. I get a hit of nostalgia seeing and playing the old storm, block dropper, claw machines, and coin pushers games. I highly recommend this game.

I bought this game back in 2019 and I loved messing around with it every once in a while. It's a fun arcade/life simulator with a lot of funny details that shows the developer is passionate about the game.

The game is pretty janky though. Historically, the developer has taken a "quantity over quality" approach by adding more and more stuff (aka feature creep). With the unity update in this 1.0 version, I was hoping the game would run a lot better but the performance still feels "early access" to me. There are also parts of the game that still say coming soon and these parts have been teased in the game for so long.

I cannot recommend this to everyone as a 1.0 release until the game feels more polished/complete overall.

How is the 1.0 Update so busted compared to the Early Access Version? I just don't get it and sadly I can no longer recommend the game in it's current state. Even with the knowledge that you are able to go back to the Early Access Version by a Separate Branch.

Don't give your money to whoever the greedy publisher that was hired to release this busted update. Just don't.

The usual tale of an early access title: years of slow progress, developer burns out and opts to get help from a publisher, and then shortly after the game suddenly releases 1.0 for the sake of being 1.0, despite the game still being in a very rough state. Next up will be DLCs galore to milk those who stick around.

As for the game itself: it's a solid "meh." It's fun for an hour or two, definately not worth the full price, maybe worth it on a sale. The other games in this niche do the virtual arcade thing much better and are much more... stable.

EDIT:
With recent communication from the developer, the publisher did indeed rush this to 1.0 far too early. I hate being proven correct; I love weird little indie games and it sucks that the gaming industry is so determined to put short term gains over healthy projects that pay out over a longer period.

Something seems, off? The Physics don't seem right at all. The coins for the coin pusher games just seem to melt into each other and not push things. Even the ones that have bills dropped in, just melt into the other coins and bills, instead of pushing.
The UI seems unresponsive, lack of unique games (each 'different' type of claw machine game is still just a claw machine! Same with the coin pushers!)
The collecting card mechanism for the pushers seems odd. Why can't I keep em til I get a whole set?
Lots of, weird oddities that isn't what I expected for a 1.0 release. I was expecting more polish, not a downgrade from a lot of the things I saw from pre-release.
