Ever since Balatro turned the world upside down in 2024, we have seen a deluge of fresh titles attempting to marry quirky concepts with the addictive nature of roguelike deckbuilders. Enter 'RACCOIN: Coin Pusher Roguelike' (hereinafter RACCOIN), which launched on March 31 and immediately snatched the number two spot on Steam's global top sellers list, proving that players are still hungry for this hybrid genre.

Developed by Doraccoon and published by Playstack, this indie darling takes the classic arcade coin pusher machine and injects it with a roguelike twist. Much like Balatro or Clover Bit, the name of the game is using unique items to craft a strategy that racks up points, though you're essentially just nudging coins off a ledge.

The gameplay loop involves dropping coins to trigger chain reactions, bolstered by special coins and power-ups. You start by picking one of six characters, each boasting distinct abilities. With a pool of 150 special coins and 150 items to experiment with, you can physically manipulate the machine—think shaking the table or detonating bombs—to watch your score climb exponentially.

As of April 1, RACCOIN sits at a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, with 93% of the 427 reviews singing its praises. Players are particularly chuffed about the satisfying physics and sound effects when the coins cascade, alongside the sheer joy of build-crafting. Its accessible price point and solid performance on the Steam Deck have also earned it brownie points. However, it is not all smooth sailing; some users have reported the game crashing during late-game stages when the screen gets too crowded with coins and sound effects.

Elsewhere on the charts, ARC Raiders surged to third place following the release of its 'Flashpoint' update, with the accompanying new item set also making a splash. Meanwhile, Grey Zone Warfare continues to hold its ground near the top, following a 0.4 version update that fine-tuned content, quality-of-life features, and enemy/allied AI.

Geometry Dash has clawed its way back into the top 20 with 79,275 Concurrent Players. While there isn't a massive scandal or new event, it has maintained a high average player count for nearly six months, hitting an all-time peak back in early March—a decade after its original release. ARC Raiders also saw its player base swell to 158,338 Concurrent Players, climbing to eighth place thanks to its latest content drop.
