About the Game
It begins with a single drop. Then another. And another. Before long, you're deep in ever-expanding, ever growing chaos, in a deluge of balls, coins, upgrades, buffs, multipliers, and more.
As the ball-o-meters fill, new stages are unlock with scenic pixel art backdrops to set the mood. Collect every cozy, moody theme as you advance through the game.
Fine tune the audio in settings to get the ASMR juuuuuust right. This game is a rain machine, with an atmospheric chiptunes soundtrack to help set the mood.
As the game progresses, you can hone your playstyle with passive or active choices. Rombo the Autobot will do some work for you if you want to step away, or you can invest in combos, GoldCoins, and Disco balls for enhanced multipliers in active play.
Prestige lets you change how you play each run, with continuous rewards as you reach greater milestones. Every rank makes you more powerful, blasting through the early stages and reaching greater heights.
Sit back, hit the "drop" button, and let the chaos begin.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Here’s what changed:
Balance: Manual Drops
- Manual Ball Multiplier buffs are now twice as strong at every rarity.
- New Rank 2 prestige perk, Manual Ball Multiplier: +300% balls from manually dropped balls.
Buffed: Peg Set Perk
- Peg Set now places its pegs on every stage right away, including the first one, even before you’ve unlocked the peg upgrades. Each stage starts with 3 White, 2 Green and 1 Blue peg. (Also, these don't count as bonus upgrade levels, so your first levels of each of those upgrades when you unlock them start lower with level 1 costs.)
Gameplay
- Added a tutorial popup for tilt
Achievements
- Removing an old achievement that is broken now
Visuals
- Fixing the space scene
- Fixing the offset white peg in Wood
- Fixed some prestige icons so that they make more sense (regarding manual drop buffs)
Here's what changed in v1.0.2:
- Upgrade prerequisites now match the stage level! There was a labeling mismatch before due to a last-minute change last week.
- Stages maxed by idle play now count toward the Stage N Max achievements.
- Some sounds were not linked to Settings toggles to turn them on or off. Those have been fixed.
- A new Accessibility setting to reduce flashing colors, applying to disco ball/bucket and the combo meter.
- BHG website link in info page works now.
We finally got that ball rarity reset bug fixed. You can now safely change stages without losing your ball rarity investment!
The UI will no longer break (app version, not web version) when the window is resized, or when playing on a large monitor.
Pegs no longer give infinite coins if you trap balls. Just a few boops and they stop giving coins to a ball that is trapped.
There should no longer be any issue hitting the Drop Button. Some people were having trouble clicking it.
Some changes to let you know about in 0.5.04:
- Added Brazilian Portuguese as a language <3
- Tightened up some UI issues
- Fixed some text bugs and missing localization bugs
- Prestige progress bar max rank stays at zero after first prestige, instead of appearing full (still just 1 prestige available in the demo, sorry!)
Unfortunately, the issue with the Ball Rarity upgrade resetting is still eluding us, but it's high on our list. Let us know if there's anything you'd like to see fixed sooner rather than later, and thank you for playing.
Hey everyone! A new playtest build has been updated if anyone wants to check out some of the bugfixes. The one we're really trying to test is the Ball Rarity upgrade disappearing.
We fixed:
Ball Rarity disappearing (WE HOPE. This is hard for us to reproduce for some reason.)
Tilt buttons being backwards in Sea
coin/ball icon sometimes overlapping text
ui shifts too slow to update
goldcoin shouldn't spawn on the sidebar anymore
re-enabled the cheats button in the settings menu
UI tweaks
increased scroll sensitivity
some pegs are brighter now for more contrast
V 0.4.14 is live and can be checked out on our [img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1100781785266266184.webp?size=40"] Steam page, here: [dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3684530/PlinkIdle/"]
