About Coup of Appliance
Coup of Appliance is a short comedy RPG about the worst possible morning: every gadget in your home picks the same day to break down. The household tech that normally hums along in the background turns into a string of problems, and you're the one who has to sort them out, room by room.
It plays like a pocket-sized JRPG. You walk between rooms, run into misbehaving machines such as the kettle and the toaster, and work through menu-driven encounters with health totals and a battle log that spells out each move. There's no leveling and no skill tree to plan around, so the focus stays on the situation and the jokes rather than on stats.
It was made during the Ludum Dare 60 game jam around the idea of old tech, so expect a compact game with clean pixel art and a light, comic tone. You can play Coup of Appliance online in any desktop browser.
How to Play Coup of Appliance
- Click inside the game window first so it picks up your keys.
- Use WASD or the arrow keys to walk between the rooms of the house.
- In menus and encounters, pick your options with WASD, the arrow keys or the mouse.
- Watch the health numbers and the battle log to follow how each fight is going.

What to Expect in Coup of Appliance
Expect a short comedy RPG rather than a long grind. The fun is in seeing ordinary kitchen gear treated like a boss fight, with name boxes, health totals and a running log of who did what. The art sits on a dark checkered backdrop with chunky status boxes, the classic look of old console role-playing games.
Because there's no experience system, you never stop to grind. Each encounter is about using what you already have well, which keeps things moving. Coup of Appliance free in a browser tab is an easy way to spend a lunch break seeing how badly one morning can go.
Tips for Coup of Appliance
