Plonkers enters Early Access with 100 arcade levels

Plonkers – totally bonkers plinko entered Steam Early Access on August 16, 2026. The incremental Plinko roguelike builds screen-filling combinations from special balls, level-up abilities and permanent upgrades.

Plonkers: confirmed details

The current listing names 70 run abilities, 41 permanent upgrades, 14 ball types and 100 handcrafted arcade challenges. Players gain gold and levels while stacking peg effects and multipliers, and a separate summon system contains 500 collectible cosmetic ball skins. The official store listing credits CardSharkGames as developer and publisher.

What changed for players

Temporary abilities and permanent upgrades create two different reasons to continue after a failed run. Fixed arcade levels provide specific board problems beside the open-ended score chase, while the large cosmetic pool remains separate from the mechanical build options.
