Plasma Drop Deluxe

Read full description

Drop the ball. Watch it dance. Plasma Drop Deluxe is a neon-drenched arcade game about one simple, endlessly satisfying moment: releasing a ball and watching it clatter down a field of glowing pegs. Every bounce scores. Every peg lights up. Every round ends in a multiplier slot that decides whether you walk away happy. BEAT YOUR FRIENDS Points for every peg you touch, bonuses for long combos, and five multiplier slots waiting at the bottom. Land the middle one and watch the counter spin. Your best run goes straight to the Game Center leaderboard. COLLECT POWER-UPS Eight families of collectibles drift across the board while you play. Hearts hand you an extra ball. Stars pay out instantly. Ghosts turn the ball invisible and double every point it scores. Squares and Triangles reshape it and quadruple your multiplier. Mushrooms split one ball into up to six. Aliens speak nonsense and pay anyway. And then there's the Diamond. Hit it and the whole board goes into Diamond Party: five times the points, every slot boosted, and a guaranteed level up. LEVEL UP, UNLOCK MORE Keep dropping balls and you climb levels. Each level makes every peg worth more and opens up new power-up variants — from the first Yellow Star all the way to the Rainbow one. ONE FINGER IS ENOUGH Drag, release, done. No tutorials to sit through, no menus to learn. Tilt your phone and the starfield tilts with it. TRACK EVERYTHING Highscore, best multiplier, most pegs in a round, total balls dropped — your whole history in one place. Available in English and German. Plays offline whenever you own the ad-free upgrade.
