## What is PLNK?

You get 30 drops. That’s the whole run.

PLNK is a physics arcade game about finding a line through the board and making every bounce count. Aim carefully, commit to the drop, and chase 300 points.

Each run ends after 30 drops. Your score goes to Game Center, where you can compare it with friends and chase achievements.

Why PLNK:
- 30-drop runs
- Pachinko-inspired physics
- Simple board, difficult decisions
- Game Center leaderboards and achievements
- No ads or in-app purchases
- Play on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac

Most runs fall short of 300. That’s the point.
