Tackle 16 levels in the solo quest for the Mega Coins in this manic 2D platformer from Big Pixel Studios and Adult Swim Games. Or invite your friends over to rob them of victory -- and their coins -- in four different local multiplayer modes.

What it’s like

Mega Coin Squad delivers a frantic, retro-inspired arcade experience that prioritizes chaotic fun over narrative depth. The premise is delightfully simple: five distinct characters race to collect coins in procedurally generated levels, with the added twist of local multiplayer modes where players can steal each other’s loot. Visually, it embraces a deliberately retro aesthetic with vibrant, pixel-art graphics and energetic sound design that amplify the high-speed gameplay. While the single-player campaign offers 16 levels of platforming challenge, the game truly shines in its four local multiplayer modes, fostering intense, social interactions through direct competition. The procedural generation ensures replayability, though individual character abilities provide only moderate variety. It is a polished, fast-paced action-platformer that excels in short bursts of adrenaline and shared laughter rather than long-term engagement or complex strategy.

Keep in mind The single-player campaign can feel awkward and repetitive without the social energy of multiplayer, making it less compelling for solo players seeking depth. Additionally, the game’s reliance on chaotic coin-hunting mechanics may not appeal to those who prefer structured objectives or serious combat challenges.
