About

PachNeko

Read full description

PachNeko is a colorful 3D pachinko machine filled with mechanical cats. Set the handle power, launch your balls and watch them bounce through the pins of a fully simulated board. Every ball in the white heso spins the reels. Three matching symbols: JACKPOT. Then the red mouth opens for the Fever, and in kakuhen the little right pocket pays twice as much. It is a game of chance, like a real pachinko: there is no secret right power, just balls, pins and luck. EVERY RUN • Start with 100 balls. • Reach 300 balls to adopt Bigsterion, your first companion. The next cats need 1,000 balls. • Adopt Poupoune, Astarourouh and Gisèle, then pet them, play with them and feed them in the cattery. FEATURES • A real-time 3D board with physics: pins, windmills, pockets and the heso. • Reach, Super Reach and Fever sequences on the cat-shaped screen. • The Academy: a guided first game that explains everything on the real board, at your own pace. • Short runs made for mobile. • Available in 8 languages. 7 DAYS FREE, THEN ONE PURCHASE • The whole game is free for 7 days, no sign-up. • After that, a one-time purchase (no subscription) unlocks PachNeko for good. It can be restored at any time. • Without the purchase, the game stays locked after the 7 days. No ads, no account, no tracking. Progress is saved on the device and the game works offline. PachNeko contains no betting, no real money, no cash prizes and no exchangeable items.
