9 itemsAbout the Game
Inspired by Balatro, Slay the Spire, and Vampire Survivors, The Cascadier blends coin-pusher chaos with roguelike deckbuilding. Charge coins with elemental abilities, drop them into evolving pinball-style cabinets, and trigger explosive chain reactions.
A twist on deckbuilders — The Cascadier turns your deck into explosive coin powers inside magical arcade machines. Charge your coins with elemental powers and unleash devastating combos with the powers of the gods. Combine them to create synergies and smash the coin shelves apart with Fireballs, Towering Coins, Disco Balls, Windy Blasts, and loads more Physics based abilities!
In the pouring rain, a shrouded custodian beckons you inside. Here you’ll meet Fortuna, a mischievous goddess of fortune, and her irritating brother Theodan, god of the time between seconds. Their sibling rivalry spills into every machine and powers that shape your destiny. To win, you must beat every cabinet, master the cascades, and claim the title of The Cascadier!
Each machine is an evolving pinball table packed with hidden ramps, mystery slots, and magical bumpers. Earn tickets with every run to unlock Trinkets hidden across the machines. Each one grants elemental-infused bonuses you can upgrade permanently through a skill tree, ensuring long-term progression. Stack multiple Trinkets to forge stronger builds and push toward the final machine where Fortuna, the Goddess of Fortune, awaits.
The very first coin Fortuna gives you is unlike any other. It gains experience each time you win it back out of the machine, permanently unlocking new powers as it grows. This coin journeys through every cabinet, evolving with you across runs.
To level it up, you’ll need to win it back before each round ends—a risky challenge that makes every playthrough feel fresh. Don’t panic, though, the First Coin is never lost in a machine—it always returns at the end of a run, stronger if you have earned it.
Hit the sweet spot and trigger Euphoria Mode—a chaotic burst of unlimited coins, skyrocketing scores, pulsing music, and dazzling effects. Every machine has its own theme and spectacle, so each burst of Euphoria feels wild in its own way.
