Megabonk has sold one million copies within two weeks of its release and received a nomination for Best Debut Indie Game at The Game Awards 2025. The developer, vedinad, withdrew the game from consideration, stating that it does not qualify as a debut game due to his previous experience creating games under different studio names. Geoff Keighley, host of The Game Awards, expressed gratitude for vedinad's transparency regarding the nomination.
