Pachincro

At its current state (as of April 2026) the game looks more like a decent demo rather than a full game. The overall playtime is too short - you can get every upgrade within an hour. Then you can prestige... But the upgrades are mostly superfluous. Three game modes offer a little diversity, but yet again, the overall feel is "repetitve and non-incentivised". There are also some problems with optimisation. In "Attack Mode" opening an upgrade tab with many options tanks the FPS, in "Idle Mode" if you have a lot of different upgrades with effects (explosions, lazers etc), the FPS drops to almost unresponsive and may even crash, loosing all the progress. A decent attempt, but at this stage it needs a lot more work and polish.

I love that the reward for reaching the target is that I'm forced to play the next level an basically reduce my income to 0$. truly a garbage game, it's like it wasn't even playtested at all

[h1]Incremental Plinko Fun[/h1] [i]Pachincro[/i] is one of the games that imagines Pachinko/Plinko as an idle game. Pachinko meets incremental. There's three modes. Plinko mode has you meeting various money milestones to earn prestige points toward a prestige tech tree, but is set to a timer. Attack mode is a tower defense variant with bosses to defeat. Idle mode is a more chill version of Plinko mode. In the base game, you have a shooter firing balls at a few dozen pins. Each bounce of a ball on a pin will earn money, and chip away at the pin's health. Pins will eventually be "killed" and disappear, sometimes with just one hit. Balls also have health points. All modes have upgrades you can buy with money earned. These include peg health, ball health, damage, and area of effect damage. There are also lasers and drones and extra ball shooters that help take care of the pegs. All modes also have a prestige system. Restart for prestige tokens that can be invested for permanent bonuses. In Plinko mode, if a ball reaches the bottom, it will earn a multiplier toward that run's earnings. Plinko mode is set up as levels. Passing a level requires earning a certain money …

[h2]Great Concept, But Should Be Early Access[/h2] [i]Pachincro[/i] is a pachinko incremental game that has you destroying pegs to earn money and invest said money into upgrades. The gameplay is really fun and the idea is novel, but I think the game needs a lot of work in its current state. The game gets stale incredibly fast and I think the upgrade tree is lackluster, I'm looking for that oomph but I'm not getting it currently. It can also become super laggy if you get really far in, so better optimization is necessary. I appreciate the developer fixing the bug with one of the achievements but I need much more than that if I'm going to leave a positive review.

This is the when The game Open I was honestly so good. it

The concept is good, but the pacing so far (at least in early levels) is horrible and makes me not want to continue playing. "leveling up" feels like you just prestiged but with none of the benefit, you just go back to doing bad damage and getting next to no cash per round, and you are not given an option to hold off on going to the next level. I was getting a few hundred bucks per round on level 2 and able to buy upgrades at a nice enjoyable pace, but then the game automatically levels me up to level 3, and I go back down getting about 50 bucks a round with no multiplier because I can't reach the cups at the bottom. It doesn't feel like progression, the game penalises you for completeing a level.
