More about this game
In Marco's Coin Cube Journey, your goal is to save Princess Pineapple by paying a ransom to Bowmiss. The core loop involves jumping to bump a golden block, which launches coins into the air. You must catch these coins before their 3-second lifetime expires. As you collect coins, you can buy upgrades from the shop to improve your jumps, increase coin values, or unlock automated helpers like Luis. The difficulty increases as the ransom demands grow, ending when you reach the castle.
Tips
- Upgrade your Mushroom early to get higher, snappier jumps, making it easier to hit the block repeatedly.
- Unlock Luis as soon as possible; he automatically collects grounded coins, allowing you to focus on bumping the block.
- Watch out for Star coins; catching one gives you a 5-second boost where all coins are worth 3x their value.
Questions
How do I get more coins quickly?
Invest in the 'Better Coins' upgrade to increase the value of each coin by 1, and the 'Luckier' upgrade to increase the chance of spawning Star coins.
What does the Spring Shoes upgrade do?
The Spring Shoes upgrade enables an Auto-Jump feature, allowing your character to continuously jump without needing to press the jump button repeatedly.
What are Black Coins?
Black Coins are dropped by the Skull Block after you unlock it in the post-game. They are used to buy Golembas and rule the world, but letting them expire costs you 200 gold and 10 Black Coins.
