Goblins and Minimalist Desktop

The king demands taxes. Turn goblins into gold with your magical stamp. You have no choice.

Coins Must Be Made is a single-player active incremental roguelite. Crush goblins with a magical stamp to mint coins, pay the king's tax, and invest your remaining earnings in upgrades.

Crush goblins. Make gold.

Guide your magical stamp with the mouse and choose which goblins to crush. Make every blow count before your stamina runs out and the shift ends.

Spend money to make money

Turn your earnings into stronger tools and new upgrade branches. Improve your power, stamina, speed, and income, then return to the workbench to put those choices to work.

Pay your taxes

Upgrades and taxes come from the same purse. Invest too much and the next deadline can end your contract. Hold too much back and your production may fall behind. Decide when to grow and when to pay.

Discover goblins

Find new creatures and track their levels in your collection. Watch the shelves fill as your goblin roster grows.

Handle a crowded shift

More goblins can crowd the workbench. Pick your next target, manage your stamina, and keep production moving.

Return stronger

A failed contract is not the end of your progress. Build mastery across contracts and unlock permanent prestige rewards that give your next attempt a stronger start. Discover new materials and expand your collection along the way.
