Coin Strike

Coin Strike is one of those games that explains itself in about five seconds. You drag back on a coin, let go, and it slides across a board trying to knock targets off or line up with markers. Each level tweaks the layout, adds walls or moving pieces, and asks you to think a little more about angles. It's the kind of thing I started playing while waiting for coffee and then kept going for an hour.

The controls are the main reason it works. There's a short aim line and a power gauge, and you get real feedback from how the coins bump into each other. Later boards introduce bumpers and tilted surfaces that make bank shots feel genuinely satisfying when they land. Nothing here needs a connection, and the whole thing fits in a tiny download.

My only nitpick is that the difficulty curve dips in the middle, where a stretch of levels feels too easy before it picks up again. But the physics stay consistent and fair, and that matters more than anything. It's a clean, honest little arcade game.
