PLINKO PANIC!

Barrel through dungeons of enemies by strategically choosing 1 of currently 90 different pinballs from the shop each turn, hitting pegs to deal damage, gain some extra money and heal yourself when needed.

Plinko Panic is a tough, strategic pachinko roguelike... The current version of the game has you go through 4 enemies before facing a boss. The enemies are certainly tough, and if you're defeated your run is then over, use the synergies you can make with the pinballs to your advantage which changes the way you defeat them.

'Plinko Panic!' is now released in early access on steam! The itch page is no longer receiving updates, but there has been plenty of updates made in the steam version than in this one, including 18 ADDITIONAL levels to play through!

Current Features

  • 90 different pinballs to choose from, all of different rarities.
  • 19 different passive items to choose from at the end of each minor fight.
  • 5 small enemies and 3 bosses to fight up against, each having their own effects (hover over the enemies to see).
  • Shop with different upgradable levels.
  • 3 different pachinko boards to randomly get assigned at the start of the game.
  • Multiple unlockable difficulties for the 'Cave' area

hard game. I lost :(

i took the 3d glasses and it didn't start having an effect until the next time i played a painting ball. then after that it had an effect every turn. dunno what exactly the intention was

brilliant game, thank you so much! (I think it would be fun if the board changed around after each mob!) Good luck on the development!

this game takes too long. played for 2 hours and still nothing :(


Softlock :(

this is enough to softlock the game ???


(the domino is just at the right pixel to wiggle infinitely and so the turn won't end)

it's soooo goood!!!! But deck building system would make this game absolute perfection

never thought I'd got interest to a pinball game, but it's indeed a pretty enjoyable experience :D

Just so you know, this isn’t pinball at all, like the name says, it’s plinko/pachinko. In pinball you use paddles to hit the ball to certain areas to try and get points.

So uh...

I got that too, I think it just softlocks the gam

It is really the only problem with this game. I feel like they should have a button that ends the turn.

I thought when movement stops it will end automatically, even with melon

It does but sometime with dominos or melons it can get stuck

shoot, it happened to me too

i have a funny idea  its a poke pinball

maybe it moves the pegs around or can switch to a random ball after hitting a few pegs

(+1)

i like the game it's fun

My big criticism is that you just get all the pinball types. You don't get a "deck" of pinballs you can grow over time, you just get everything. That removes basically any element of long-term strategy beyond "What colors do I think the next random set of dice will give me?" and "How much am I willing to spend on rerolls to maybe get a pinball more suited for this specific situation?"

This would make the game a lot more fun with cool deck buliding strategies. On my first run I picked up one of the powerups that made it so that I did 3 damage for every broken peg. After this I prioritized picking only pinballs that were heavy, bouncy, or had a % chance to break a peg in order to maximize the number of broken pegs I had. Being able to build my own custom peg breaker deck would make it much more interesting than just hoping I get those pinballs by chance!

Rerolling is practically free, though.

until you can't even re-roll anymore in higher difficulty .

Well, they wanted it to be different than Peglin, I guess?

I've been here for 3 hours i cant stop its too good help

Very cool game.

Hey, awesome game! However I think there are some bugs, I try to get the heart themed ball but it gave me abandage ball, and the shuriken ball is a cactus.

Thanks for playing the game man :) 
Thank you for letting me know!! I had noticed some of these issues and have already made a fix, but can't make changes during the voting of the jam :/ Should be uploaded and fixed when that is over however!! :)

Lol, pretty simple mechanics yet so addictive, Great job. I gave up, I can't beat the boss haha.
