Mega Coin Squad
In 60 minutes, this will change you from tentative, stodgy muppet to an all-round offensive terror. A terrifically balanced platformer that'll coax out the perfectionist speedrunner in us all.

The gameplay is widely praised for its simple yet addictive mechanics, dynamic balance, and solid controls, reminiscent of classic platformers like Mario but enhanced with unique features such as multi-directional charging. While the game may lack extensive content, it offers a fresh and enjoyable experience, making it a great choice for both single-player and party settings. However, some users noted minor issues with cumbersome mechanics and a short runtime, which may affect its overall value.
“Great variety and addictive gameplay.”
“While this game isn't heavy on content and extras by any means, it really struck me and my friends by its quality: the gameplay feels fresh, well balanced and highly dynamic, the presentation feels coherent and quite stylish, the menus are very easy and effective to navigate.”
“This is an old school, back-to-basics platformer that places emphasis on addictive and challenging gameplay, and I’m happy to say it’s also a huge heap of fun.”
“Some cumbersome mechanics and a teensy runtime rain on this game's parade, and when you take into account its $14.99 price tag, you may need a coin squad of your own to justify spending so much on it.”
Mega Coin Squad Review
Mega Coin Squad is a superbly entertaining title. Not everyone will be down with the speedrunning single-player style which sees you completing the admittedly short game multiple times with different characters, but there's fun to be had even for those that oppose the style the most. With multiple players, the game really shines and if you're looking for some fun and competitive action with your friends locally, this is right on the money.

With its retro style pixelated graphics and catchy yet repetitive music, Big Pixel Studio’s Mega Coin Squad wears its heart on its sleeve. This is an old school, back-to-basics platformer that places emphasis on addictive and challenging gameplay, and I’m happy to say it’s also a huge heap of fun.

Mega Coin Squad's decent in multiplayer, but it's over all too quickly when playing alone. Some cumbersome mechanics and a teensy runtime rain on this game's parade, and when you take into account its $14.99 price tag, you may need a coin squad of your own to justify spending so much on it. Still, there is fun to be had with friends here, so it's worth a look if you've already picked the likes of Towerfall Ascension and Nidhogg clean.
