ploink launched on Steam on August 17, 2026. The plinko roguelike asks players to construct open-ended score machines from more than 200 pegs and 100 ball types.

ploink: confirmed details

Components include pocket dimensions, pegs with skill trees, storage vaults, virtual pets and amalgamations. Six boards change the build space, 20 trinkets raise score requirements with modifiers, and a cast of 20 bosses interrupts progression every few levels. The official store listing credits Pyrocreep as developer and publisher.

What changed for players

Open placement lets one player guide many balls through a dense route while another traps a single ball beside automatic scoring pegs. Trinkets make victory harder in exchange for new goals, while bosses test whether an elaborate score engine can function under a specific disruption.

Availability and lasting context

ploink is listed as a released product rather than an Early Access build. Patches may still change performance, balance and interface details after launch. The confirmed release supports Windows. This report describes only features documented in the official listing at publication time. Store availability and supported languages can vary by region, while pricing, online services and later updates should be checked on the live store page.

This report separates features released on the stated date from later patches and community expectations. Balance values and platform support can change, but the documented release history remains the same.
