## What is Plimko?

Your plinko machine. Your rules.

Plimko flips the plinko formula: instead of just dropping balls, you build the board they fall through. Place pegs, bumpers, multipliers, splitters, portals, magnets and gilders — then watch your machine turn gravity into gold.

BUILD — Eight piece types, each with its own physics. Bend ball paths toward the jackpot buckets on the edges, split one ball into many, teleport them mid-fall, or gild them for double value.
UPGRADE — Tap any piece or bucket to level it up. Faster drops, heavier balls, bigger payouts. Unlock new ball tiers, from Basic all the way to Prism.
REWIRE — When the run slows down, trade it in. Rewiring resets your board for permanent stars — spend them on income multipliers, extra board rows, piece masteries and more. Every run starts stronger than the last.
ASCEND — The layer above rewiring. Trade all your star progress for cores and rule-changing perks: full offline earnings, faster frenzies, free starter pegs and more.
AND MORE
• An endless mission chain plus elite goals
• Challenge runs with escalating tiers
• Frenzy mode and golden jackpot balls
• Earn while you're away — offline income up to 8 hours
• Crisp retro pixel-arcade style
• Plays fully offline. All ads are optional and rewarded-only.

Free to play. No account needed. Just you, physics, and an economy waiting to be broken.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-06

• A guided first session: a pointing hand walks you through your first machine
• GOAL tracker: your current mission and progress, always on screen
• Tabs now unlock as you progress, so the start is less overwhelming

• Fix: split balls now keep their combo, golden and portal state

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-01

CONSTELLATIONS — a permanent layer past the stars.
Five branches that survive every ascension: Supernova and Gravity
Well for raw income and star payouts, Nebula for deeper offline
banking, Polaris to keep income levels through a reset, and Comet
Trail for drop levels you start every run with.

ELITE GOALS — nine hard chases that open after your third rewire.
Tap ten goldens inside a single meteor shower. Clear a challenge in
under ten minutes. Drive a bucket to golden 40. Ascend with every
piece type unlocked.

AUTOMATION — buy it with stars and the board upgrades itself.
Four tiers, from peg levels up through golden buckets to every
piece type. It only ever spends spare change, so it works the
board while you're idle without touching the coins you're saving.

Plus a save-integrity pass: a corrupted save file can no longer
cost you your ascensions, masteries, or ball progress.
