Game Summary
PlinkIdle is a satisfying idle game where randomized chaos meets rewarding progression. Players drop balls into beautiful levels to watch them ricochet, split, and bounce through hand-crafted stages. Each level has its own aesthetic, soundtrack, and upgrade scheme, from a rainy sky to neon madness.
How to Play
Earn currency, unlock upgrades, complete achievements, and advance through hand-drawn stages at your own pace. The deeper you go, the more chaos (and beauty) erupts.
The loop: Drop Balls, earn coins, spend coins to go faster, and level up.
So Many Balls to Drop

Key Features
- Beautiful hand-drawn pixel art across several custom stages:
- Rainbow, Basic Wood, Winter, Stone, and many more.
- Unlockable upgrades as the stages progress. The upgrades improve the ball-dropping experience.
- Tiered balls that multiply against everything they hit, with different rarity levels.
- Tiered pegs that can be upgraded in each level, letting the balls collect more coins as they travel down the peg board.
- A single maxed out jackpot bucket for extra reward for each stage.
- A GoldCoin buff that gives an extra reward when tapped.
- An accessible long-press for button interactions that mean you don’t have to click or tap repeatedly.
- An easy, user-friendly interface.

How to Play
The Team
This game started as a prototype seed by Pat Tompkins, who submitted a quick prototype of a single level ball-drop-onto-a-pegboard incremental game.
Lauren Salk, the game designer, saw a lot of promise and started adding art and UI/UX design to it. David Frankel built a more solid framework for it and began adding a lot of polish and juice. It evolved from there, with a very iterative design process as we tested the game every day to see what it needed the most to make it feel just right.
We had a very successful early launch on Itch.io, gaining 8,000 plays in the first week with overall positive comments and feedback. We are working on getting this game launched with a freshly updated and more lengthy/rewarding core loop.
