"Man those coinboxes are trouble. Take this one down with everything you got! Hire hands to help you loot and plunder. When you’re ready to take it down…. a tactical nuke is just around the corner." — The Game

Coinbox Hero is a game about punching a coin box to collect money. There's also a polka band for some reason.

Gameplay[]

Main Screen[]

Coinbox Hero - Main Screen

The main screen is where all the coinbox pounding action occurs. This is where you and your loyal workers will attack the coinbox accompanied to the sounds of German polka for the entirety of the game.

Character Upgrade Shop[]

The character upgrade shop is where you can upgrade your character and your workers. You can upgrade the number of workers you have, your overall skill, your skill focus and your assign task. Each upgrade has varying prices and helps you to achieve your ultimate goal to defeat the coinbox.

Workers[]

Coinbox Hero - Shop Screen

Workers are extra helping hands that look exactly like you do and can perform any task that you can perform. The only difference is that unlike you, they cannot collect coins while they perform other tasks; you would need to designate a specific person who would be in charge of Collect Coins. Each worker can also be individually upgraded, depending on your desired focus for a specific worker.

Trivia[]

  • The easy badge in this game is considered one of, if not the longest easy badge on Kongregate, taking approx. 1 to 3 hours on first try.
  • Due to a bug, you can sometimes kill the coinbox without paying for the tactical nuke. However, it doesn't show the ending, nor does it report you killed the coinbox. Also, all saved data is wiped when this bug occurs.
