There's an unofficial confirmation that Goblin and Coins works out of the box on SteamDeck. Here's a picture proof:
We're all waiting for Valve to test and sort all the 60.000+ games on Steam for SteamDeck compatibility. With that amount of material to go through, it's understandable that Goblin and Coins, being a very small indie game, won't be a priority for a while, and that's okay (there's ~1300 games rated so far).
But while we wait for the official rating, there's many 3rd parties that have access to SteamDeck and with the lifting of embargos and the official release of the handheld, it's now possible to simply have the game tested - not as throuough as Valve's doing it and certainly not with an official verified/playable rating yet - but enough to know there's a 2D platformer you can run on your brand new handheld when that bean soup starts playing it's tune.

Run and jump, collect coins, confront enemies and avoid traps, open gates and find secret stashes. It's a simple 2D platformer with a twist: You're not a hero from the castle about to slay an evil dragon, you're a goblin cook working for the dragon! It starts slowly but things get more and more complicated as you go.
Story
Your master has been robbed by a pesky rogue, and it's kind of your fault. Follow them through 5 different settings, from the dragon's lair in the Fiery temple of Doom, all the way to the Castle Keep, and return the stolen treasure! But beware, the closer you get to civilization, the more dangerous it becomes for a defenseless goblin.
