Plinkomancy

Plinkomancy is a chaos-driven roguelite about playing an old arcade machine while grounded in a basement. You launch balls into the machine, build up chain reactions and try to meet its quota before it shuts you down.

Break the game

What begins simply can escalate into chain reactions and screen-filling numbers. A single ball can be worth more than an entire run. Meet the quota and the cabinet lets you continue; miss it and the run ends.

Explore the basement

Between runs, you can leave the cabinet, though the basement holds more to discover. Spend tickets to unlock permanent upgrades, challenges, shops and starting bonuses. These unlocks help you build stronger runs, while the basement changes as you progress: some things unlock and others reveal themselves. Not everything there wants you to leave.

Try new approaches

Each run offers a new way to approach the machine. You can pursue consistency or try to overwhelm it, with different approaches to explore across repeated runs.
