Pegfall is a one-handed pegboard roguelite. You face an enemy on every floor. Each turn you pick an aim and fire your balls; every peg a ball touches hurts the enemy, and a long chain of hits fills a combo bar for bonus damage. When your balls run out, the enemy strikes back. Brace turns a ball into a shield. Beat the enemy to go down a floor, then pick a reward: a new orb for your deck, a card or a relic. Your health starts low. It grows from heal pegs on the board, from skipping a reward, and from permanent upgrades you buy in the Workshop with the essence you earn by playing. PLAY WITH VOICEOVER ON iPHONE Accessible play turns on by itself while VoiceOver is running. The board is built around one Aim control, with Status, Board summary and Last result next to it. By default, swipe up or down on Aim to move through five named directions, from Far left to Far right, and hear the likely first hit. After that, physics decides, and the game tells you when bumpers or bouncing walls can change the path. Double-tap to fire. When the balls stop, you hear the damage and what is left on the board. Board scan reads the board from top to bottom. While aiming, Magic Tap starts it and a second Magic Tap stops it. Optional aim sounds and the Aim practice lesson, whose practice shot costs nothing, help you learn. While Accessible play is on and VoiceOver is running, an interstitial ad can appear at most once every three minutes, and only after a button you press. You hear a warning first and "Ad closed" after it, and the game waits until then. VoiceOver play has been tested on iPhone. If something is hard to reach, please tell us. ▸ READ THE BOARD, THEN SHOOT A dotted line previews the start of your shot, up to the first two pegs it hits. After that, physics takes over, so the planning happens before you fire. ▸ A CAMPAIGN THAT ENDS — 10 CHAPTERS, 200 FLOORS Every chapter is its own biome and ends on its own boss, and deeper chapters add new board rules. Each chapter resets your build; only the last relic you took carries over as an heirloom. Leave mid-run and continue from the start of that floor. ▸ BUILDS THAT STACK 20 orbs, 23 relics, 40 cards and three characters send each run in a different direction. Take a curse when the floor asks for one. ▸ THE BOARD FIGHTS BACK From the sixth floor of every chapter, the pegs you spend erode. From chapter 3, pairs of pegs are wired into circuits whose discharge goes straight through armour, and some bosses bring hazard or void pegs onto the board. ▸ ENDLESS, DAILY AND WEEKLY Dive without a floor beneath you, take the same daily board as everyone else, or race one shared weekly board with a single attempt. After a Daily, Weekly or Endless run, join the optional online leaderboard with a nickname. No sign-up. ▸ GET STRONGER AS YOU PLAY Spend essence in the Workshop on permanent upgrades to starting health, damage and block, and on themes, ball skins, faces, ball hats and sound packs. Unlock Dark Depths tiers. ▸ BADGES AND BALLS YOU CANNOT BUY Your achievements are badges on your Profile. Three of them unlock a ball that is not for sale: Racer, Summit and Abyssal can only be unlocked by playing. ▸ THEMES AND SOUNDS IN THE SHOP The Iznik, Bosphorus and Sakura themes (try each first), the Music Box sound theme and melody packs your pegs play (listen first). ▸ MADE TO BE PLAYED BY MORE PEOPLE VoiceOver play on iPhone, VoiceOver labels and spoken purchase confirmations throughout the Workshop and the Shop, clear combat feedback, special pegs marked by more than colour, Reduce Motion support and 44 pt touch targets. Special thanks to accessibility tester Matheus Rheine, who helped shape VoiceOver play. ▸ MOBILE-NATIVE True portrait, one-handed, free to start. No energy timer and no premium wall. Monetization: optional rewarded continues, a Remove Ads purchase that stops interstitial ads, themes, looks and sound packs, and essence pouches. Essence also comes from playing.
