About

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.
