It’s time to embrace how much we all fail at Megabonk. Developer vedinad has officially put out the call for Steam Awards nominations, specifically targeting the "Best Game You Suck At" category. Given the relentless nature of the enemy waves and the build-or-die mechanics, it’s a fitting title for a game that prides itself on punishing progression.
A Badge of Honor for Difficulty
The "Best Game You Suck At" award is usually reserved for titles that demand mechanical perfection or punish mistakes with extreme prejudice. By campaigning for this specific category, the developer is leaning into the game's identity as a hardcore survival experience. It's an acknowledgment that the difficulty spike isn't a bug—it's the point.
Alternatively, the studio is suggesting nominations for "Best Game on Steam Deck." Since the game launched on Linux and PC with a perspective and loop that favors handheld play, this makes sense for players who prefer their frustration on the go.
New Content on the Horizon
Buried alongside the nomination request is a brief but significant tease: a new update is "coming soon." While vedinad hasn't released a changelog or feature list yet, the timing suggests we might see this drop before the end of the year.
For the current meta, a new update could mean anything from balance adjustments to completely new character unlocks. If the game is going to live up to the "Best Game You Suck At" moniker, players should probably prepare for new enemy types or escalating threat levels that make current survival builds obsolete.
