Megabonk became another example of an indie game that appeared literally out of nowhere and managed to grab a share of the market without any advertising campaign.
The project was released on September 18, 2025, and quickly gained popularity on Steam. Simultaneously, the game had over 24,000 people playing. It is especially impressive that such a result was achieved with a minimal budget and a complete lack of marketing — the game was made by a single developer.
In Megabonk, players fight endless waves of enemies, collect loot, and strengthen their heroes. The project can be described as a survival game with roguelike elements, where levels are generated randomly. The author notes that he was inspired by Vampire Survivors and Risk of Rain 2.
On Steam, Megabonk from developer vedinad currently has "very positive" reviews, and the average rating is 94%.
Megabonk rose to 12th place among Steam's sales leaders, which looks especially bright for a project without advertising promotion.
