“Yo dawg, I heard you like roguelikes, so I put a dungeon crawler in your pachinko so you can get crazy power-ups while you drop balls and battle your foes,”

About Peglin
Dragons have been popping peglins and stealing all of your gold for as long as you can remember. Enough is enough. It’s time to venture through the woods, conquer the fortress, and delve into the heart of the dragons’ lair to fight for what’s yours.
Peglin plays like a combination of Peggle and Slay the Spire. The pegs are plentiful, the enemies are tough, and if you’re defeated your run is over. But with a set of powerful orbs and incredible relics to choose from, you have everything you need to overcome the challenges that await you.
Key Features Include:
Fight enemies with pachinko-like gameplay! Hit more pegs to do more damage, and use crit potions, refresh potions, and bombs wisely.
Collect and upgrade powerful orbs and relics to defeat the monsters and bosses that stand in your way.
Explore a new map every time, with different orbs, enemies, and surprises along the way.
