RACCOIN: Coin Pusher Roguelike How to Play
A mechanics reference written from the official Steam description and confirmed behavior.
The official description states the blend directly: the chaotic fun of classic arcade coin pushers plus the element of roguelike deckbuilding. You combine special coins with powerful items to trigger satisfying synergies.
The machine and the push
- Coins drop onto the machine and push a moving pile — the classic coin-pusher loop where every coin can knock others over the edge.
- Special coins with their own effects show up during your runs (officially: 'Discover all kinds of special coins during your runs').
- You can shake the machine when you are running dry — an officially described item effect that frees stuck coins.
Officially demonstrated coin effects
| Coin | Official effect |
|---|---|
| Seed Coin + Water Coin | Grows a money tree right inside the machine (ongoing coin generation) |
| Cat Coin | Hunts down every Rat Coin and racks up extra tickets |
| MultiCoin | Boosts your score across the board |
| TNT Coin | Triggers a massive explosion that pushes every coin forward at once |
These four examples come verbatim from the official listing and are the only coin effects we state as fact. The full catalogue of 150 coins is not published on the page — see the coins hub.
Power-up items
- Officially, 150 unique items can dramatically shift the course of a run.
- Three categories are named in the official description: stacking multipliers, spawning coins with extra points, and shaking the machine.
- Items combine with coins and plating to unlock 'even wilder combos' (official wording): items hub.
Plating your coins
You can apply special plating to your favorite coins to enhance their effects and unlock wilder combos (official description). Plating is a long-term upgrade path for the coins you rely on, which makes it a natural progression goal for returning players.
Progress and modes
- 8 difficulty levels to master — the official progression ladder for challenge (see difficulty).
- Endless run mode for infinite replayability (see Endless Mode).
- You can save anytime, and the game has full controller support and Steam Cloud (official store features).
