— The basics

What is Coin Pusher?

Coin Pusher recreates the arcade classic where a moving shelf full of coins inches forward, and your job is to drop new coins onto the shelf to push the existing stack over the edge into your tray. Drop the right coin at the right moment and a cascade of coins falls into your pocket.

The fascinating part of Coin Pusher is the physics. Coins push other coins. Some configurations are stable, some are precarious. Veteran players read the shelf for the precarious stacks and time their drops to maximise cascades. Beginners drop randomly and rely on luck. That gap is bigger than it looks.

Beginner tips for Coin Pusher

Watch for precarious stacks at the front edge. Those are the cascades.
Drop on top of stacks, not into gaps. Top drops add weight; gap drops vanish.
Time drops to the shelf rhythm. Mid-stroke drops shift instead of stacking.
Save coins when no cascade is set up. Random drops are wasted coins.
Stop when frustrated. The game rewards patience.
