❓ SCRITCHY SCRATCHY — COMPLETE FAQ

Scritchy Scratchy is a scratch card incremental game developed by Lunch Money Games and published by Funday Games. Released on Steam on March 18, 2026, it combines the tactile satisfaction of lottery scratch-offs with deep idle game progression mechanics.

The game costs $6.99 on Steam (with a launch discount of 20% bringing it to $5.59). A free demo is available on both Steam and itch.io, letting you try the core mechanics before purchasing.

It is available on Steam for Windows and macOS. A free browser version is also playable on itch.io. The game is also Steam Deck compatible.

Main content takes approximately 5–7 hours. Getting all 34 achievements and completing multiple prestige cycles takes 15–20 hours for dedicated players.

No. There are zero microtransactions, advertisements, or pay-to-win mechanics. A Supporter Pack DLC exists as optional extra content but is not required to enjoy the full game.

Scratching the Final Chance card triggers a reset, awarding Jack Points (JP). These are spent on a permanent upgrade tree that carries over into all future runs, making each run progressively faster.

Focus on Luck upgrades first, only buy Quick Cash cards initially, and avoid Snake Eyes. Do not prestige on your first run — farm JP from jackpots before resetting.

Mundo is an NPC that can scratch cards on your behalf. He interacts specifically with the Lucky Cat card and can be unlocked mid-game. One achievement ("Bad kitty") requires letting him trigger the black cat penalty.

No — the spacebar confirm feature must be purchased as an upgrade. Find it in the rightmost upgrade tree, bottom of the left column. It is a mid-game unlock but dramatically improves quality of life.

Quick Cash offers the best consistent returns with no penalty risk. Scratch My Back has the highest ceiling when played skillfully with peek technique.

Partially scratch the edges of each zone to peek at symbols before fully revealing them. If you spot a worm, discard the card immediately rather than completing the scratch.

In early and mid game, yes. The expected value is negative without high Luck stats. Only consider Snake Eyes in late game with maximum Luck and Jackpot Multiplier upgrades active.

"True Millionaire" at 0.1% unlock rate is the rarest, requiring max balance with all prestige upgrades purchased. "Winning streak" at 0.4% is the hardest regular achievement.

Survive the Final Chance card without triggering a death/prestige reset. This is extremely difficult as the card is designed to trigger prestige. Maximum luck and careful partial scratching are essential.

No. Achievements are permanent and tracked globally across all runs. Progress toward cumulative achievements like "Scratchaholic" also persists through prestige resets.

Scritchy Scratchy supports manual save export. Look for the save export button in the game settings/options menu. This feature was specifically added in the "Save export update" patch highlighted alongside reaching 20,000 wishlists. Export your save regularly if you want backup copies.

A mobile version is available on Google Play (Android) under "com.fundaygames.scritchyscratchy". iOS availability has not been confirmed. The core Steam version on PC and macOS is the most feature-complete version.

The Scritchy Scratchy Supporter Pack (Steam App ID: 4428640) is optional paid DLC for players who want to support the developer beyond the base game price. It does not add gameplay mechanics or create pay-to-win advantages.

Scritchy Scratchy was developed by Lunch Money Games and published by Funday Games — a Danish indie publisher. The lead developer is Hannibal Sigfusson. The game was announced in September 2025 and officially launched on Steam on March 18, 2026.

Mundo is an NPC with specific interactions tied to the Lucky Cat card. When Mundo is active and processing a Lucky Cat card, he can fully reveal the black cat penalty symbol, triggering a significant money deduction. If your balance is low, this can bankrupt you. This is the intended trigger for the "Bad kitty" achievement.

Primary control is mouse drag to scratch. Left click and drag across the grey scratch zone reveals symbols. After purchasing the Spacebar Confirm upgrade, you can also press Space to quickly confirm cards. The game is listed as "Mouse Only" on Steam tags for core gameplay.

Yes. Scritchy Scratchy is listed as compatible with Steam Deck. The mouse-drag mechanics translate well to the touchpad input on Deck hardware.

Going bankrupt (balance reaches zero) is treated as a run failure. The game triggers the bankruptcy event — Mundo may call, you receive the "Gambling never pays off" achievement if it is your first bankruptcy — and you restart your current run. Jack Points from previous prestiges are retained.

Steam cloud save functionality is available for Scritchy Scratchy via Steam's standard cloud sync system. Additionally, the manual save export feature added in a post-launch patch allows you to export save data as a file for manual backup.

The starting queue capacity for the Auto Scratcher is 5 cards. Purchasing Extended Queue adds 5 more. With the Mega Queue upgrade, capacity reaches 25 cards. Manual desk space for unscratched cards extends beyond this — buying 100 cards for the "Hoarder" achievement is possible despite the bot queue limit.
