Pinbrawl
Read full descriptionHide full description
The thundering drums of the orc horde shake the earth as hundreds of green-skinned beasts march relentlessly toward the gates of your castle. But instead of sluggish catapults, your defenses rely on a dynamic weapon: a massive, magically charged iron ball. Using powerful pinball flippers at the castle gate, you launch the multi-ton projectile right into the heart of the enemy ranks. Every impact wreaks havoc as the ball bounces off armored troops, shield-bearers, and massive giants like a hurtling asteroid. Amid the chaos, devastating chain reactions unfold: if the projectile strikes the explosive barrels of orcish pyrotechnicians, massive explosions transform the battlefield into a sea of flames, catapulting the ball at breakneck speed toward the next cluster of targets. Strategically taking out the horde's fearless standard-bearers rewards you with valuable gold coins. Between runs, this gold is used to permanently upgrade your castle: newly erected walls provide space for your archers to rain arrows down on the charging orcs from above, while additional defense systems reinforce the fortress. When the onslaught reaches its climax, magical upgrades like the infamous Multi-Ball mode unleash absolute chaos, flooding the ravine with fiery projectiles until every last orc is vanquished.

Everyone has wondered it at least once: what if you dug a hole straight down… all the way through the Earth? Dig Through lets you find out. Start in your own city with bare hands, and dig until you come out on the other side of the planet — at your real antipode, calculated from real geography. Will it be a beach, a desert town, or the middle of the ocean? DIG, UPGRADE, GO DEEPER • Start with your hands, then a soup spoon, a shovel and a pickaxe • Hire your dog, the neighbour's kid and a family of moles • Unlock five machines, each bigger than the last: the drilling rig, a crawler drill, a tunnel borer, a plasma lance and the nuclear subterrene "Mole" • Keep the rig cool in the burning mantle and the molten core A REAL PLANET, LAYER BY LAYER • Topsoil, clay, groundwater, oil and gas, the granite crust, the mantle, the liquid outer core and the solid inner core • Pass real landmarks like the Kola Superdeep Borehole • Tap the things you find in the walls — fossils, lost keys, a dinosaur — to read what they are • Zoom out to see the whole planet cut in half and your tunnel running through it WHERE WOULD YOU COME OUT? • Your tunnel ends at the true antipode of the city you started from • Spin the globe and see your hole go straight through the Earth • Read facts about the place you reached, then dig again from anywhere in the world A RELAXING IDLE GAME • Your digger keeps working on his own — tap only when you want to go faster • Your crew and machines keep digging while the game is closed • Calm ambient music, pixel art with real light, and a narrated intro Ads in the free version are optional: you only see one when you choose to watch it for a bonus. One purchase, Premium, gives every bonus instantly without ads and doubles digging while you're away.
