Drop in some fun with PAPLINKO! In PAPLINKO, the goal is to bounce balls into cups, collecting coins and prizes as you go along! It's not all just about collecting prizes though- bouncing off the pegs earns points and careful play will rack up your high score! The balls bounce off multiple pegs, each hit racking up points and changing the ball's path to the bottom. You can carefully aim and shoot each one, but the peg board is constantly shifting, so you'll have to rethink your strategy as you play! Hordes of special pegs shake things up, from bomb pegs to teleporter pegs! Use special multiplier pegs and bonus boxes to make that score grow and grow! Beware, prizes aren't the only things at the bottom- slimes will break your high score if you're not careful! Trade in all the coins you've collected to buy new backgrounds and ball characters to customize your game! Don't worry if you run out of balls, check back later and you'll have more available! “Never before have bouncing balls been so hypnotizing!” “More fun than Angry Birds!” Fun is just a bounce away! Features: - Over 30 prizes to collect! - Mobile pegs that change as you play! - Multiple puzzles to complete, with each puzzle set showing a different story! - Over 25 achievements to complete! - A huge variety of special bonus effects to collect from the bonus box! - Combines some of the action you loved in Peggle and Plinko Check back for new prizes, new customizations and more! Try other games by Game Circus, including COIN DOZER, PRIZE CLAW and TAPS TO RICHES!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Doodle Devil™ F2P at none against Paplinko's shown. Doodle Devil™ F2P also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 80%) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 727). Paplinko's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Doodle Devil™ F2P sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Paplinko sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Paplinko holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doodle Devil™ F2P has 3.7K ratings behind it against 727, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Doodle Devil™ F2P's written reviews are positive against 80% of Paplinko's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Doodle Devil™ F2P ships an update every 6 months, Paplinko every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
