The Coin Game Reviews
The Coin Game is not a deep game, but it is a fun game. The game seeks to emulate the classic arcade experience and build a world around it, and I can strongly say that it succeeds. It builds on its core gameplay loop with a wide variety of activities, environments, and game modes. It uses neat tricks and solid design principles to bypass its graphical weaknesses and create delightfully atmospheric locations. And above all else, it completely captures the feeling of blowing your weekly allowance on games of chance and saltwater taffy. The Coin Game didn’t challenge me, or move me to tears (except when I missed the final block on Stack’Em). What it did was make me smile. It made made me feel like a kid again. And for that I can confidently give The Coin Game a Thumb Culture Gold Award. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some Dunko cards to grind.
