Plinko Panic!

Its overly slow and complex. Hard to tell certain pinballs apart at glance. Too much back and forth between shop and dropping a ball. could be really fun if more streamlined. It wants to be like luck be a landlord but I can finish 20 whole game of LBAL in the time it takes to clear a single enemy here. It just ends up being very boring. Really promising if there are a few key changes.

This game scratched an itch I didn't know I had. If you're looking for a game that you can play after working all day, or you're just plain exhausted, this is perfect. You can play it one-handed, it's not too mentally intensive so you can veg-out and watch shows, and it has a great soundtrack. This is definitely worth picking up if you've found yourself too mentally exhausted to play any super in-depth games. I'd highly recommend.

I've enjoyed this game since watching the Price Is Right version growing up. It's mostly the same mechanics as that Plinko, but you are more concerned with how the ball bounces than where it will eventually land. The physics of the ball are determined by its shape, size and weigh. The bounces are then used to decide combat elements of a turn based dungeon crawl. The physics are good with the different balls behaving differently, but consistent and some what predictably. The music is very chill. It gives the game a relaxed feel compared other games like it. I very much enjoy taking my time to select the right ball and position. I'd like to see more variations in the enemy behaviors. They could interact with the pegs. Like "All Red pegs deal 1 damage to you per bounce next turn." or something similar. I've had the ball get stuck a few times. The game knows to end the turn if the ball stops moving for like 5 seconds, but it would be nice to have a tilt/shake feature like pinball. 3 uses before it ends your turn. That would give a bit of control during the drop as well. I'll be watching for updates on this one.

Innovative idea. Fun gameplay. Reminds me of Peggle. Stress-free yet addicting. Very easy instructions and learning curve. Good strategy and choices. Hopefully dev adds more meat + bells & whistles. Recommend this for casual gamers.

Very addicting game and is a lot of fun to play, needs a few things adding such as extra settings but other than that good fun!

Plinko Panic is unique approach to the rogue-like genre. It currently has 18 different levels with hours worth of content and tons of in-depth strategies! I would highly recommend this game, especially if you can get it on sale. Note: I know I have low playtime on this game but most my playtime was during the beta.

There is no play with the pins besides RNG. Bosses hit for more than maximum health. Just not fun like other RNG games.

Since there's currently no saving and no real gameplay/board customisation options, this is a good game to play for a few minutes while waiting for some other game, which is not only how I've been playing it but also about the only way I can play it as I find it so absolutely frustrating, those few minutes are about my limit. I'm not a pachinko expert but I can enjoy watching balls fall from the top of the screen to the bottom as much as the next person. What makes this game miserable is the rougher aspects of the roguelike features. Getting a terrible string of enemies, damage every turn in large amounts, not knowing you're a dead man walking because you got a pretty terrible board that forces you into wasting your time defensively, most mobs have abilities you can't counter at all, etc. The bonus items and saving a ball each round helps, but I don't feel like it's enough to balance how otherwise futile and arbitrarily difficult it feels sometimes. I'm still recommending it though because it's still early access and despite how aggravatingly pointless I find it, I continue to play it anyway.
