ABOUT THE GAME
Plinker game overview
Plinker unfolds through a vertical peg and block field where a released ball earns points from repeated impacts. You choose the starting position, drop the ball, and select one of two upgrades after the turn. This upgrade-driven obstacle dropping rewards placing the ball above a route that reaches several valuable blocks rather than one isolated target. After each drop, a choice between two upgrades changes the power and scoring potential of later turns. Within this upgrade-driven obstacle dropping, compare cause and result. A turn finishes when the ball leaves the active obstacle field, after which the next placement begins.
WHAT TO EXPECT
