About game
Watch gravity do the work as you drop colorful spheres through a dense maze of pins in Plinker. Every ball bounces unpredictably until it lands in a bin, giving you a chance to rack up massive coin payouts. You control the pace by manually clicking or letting the auto-drop system handle the heavy lifting while you manage your upgrades. Investing in ball value and critical hit multipliers turns your simple board into a high-stakes profit machine. Plinker expands its layout as you play, adding layers of complexity and new rows of pins to keep your strategy fresh. Reaching the peak allows you to rank up and permanently boost your income for faster progression. You can jump into this addictive idle experience right in your browser without any downloads or installations.
How to play
Tap the board and a ball leaves the stock. It makes its way down through the rows of pins and lands in a bin; the further from the centre, the bigger the payout. The stock refills by itself, so you can keep dropping.
Spend coins on the upgrades in the panel next to the board: ball value, spawn speed, stock size, payout bonus and the ×5 critical hit. Auto-drop is an upgrade of its own — buy it and the START button starts dropping balls for you.
The level button fills up as you earn. Once it lights up, press it: the board gets another row of pins, or +1 level to every bin. Bins also level up on their own, from the hits they take.
At level 15 the button turns into "Rank up": upgrades reset, but all income is doubled permanently. The ×2 ad button doubles income for 10 minutes.
