- ploink IS OFFICIALLY OUT!!! - 17 August 2026
Before getting into it, if you like balling and pegging, check out the PINS AND PEGS FEST MEGABUNDLE!! If it's too pricey for you that's fine, I just hope you have enough money to buy ploink... Or else....OMG ITS OUT!!!! I want to thank my fans for believing in this game. I wanna thank all of the testers who tested the game during it's development, helped find lots of issues, and gave valuable feedback. But most importantly, I want to thank myself, for just being so darn talented and humble and getting this amazing game finished on time. It's been a very stressful few weeks, especially since releasing the game was a last month decision. I was originally planning on going into early access but decided against it as the game was too finished to do that. Hopefully that was the right decisions! I'll only know once everyone you know has purchased ploink.Make sure to LEAVE A REVIEW (a positiv…

- The Hard Update - 24 March 2026
I wasn't happy with a few features recently added to the game, namely the bosses and the ball limit. Both of these have been changed.This update also features the removal of score multiplier in its entirety. It has been in the game since the beginning but I've only recently realized how bad of a mechanic it is. Multiplying score is already possible in various ways either through power, multi-hits, or just having more balls and score multiplier just threw a wrench into all of that, making balancing and item design harder. All items that used score multiplier have now been reworked, and in almost all cases replaced with flat score. Keep in mind this doesn't affect item that multiply score directly like Mouth, TSAR BOMBA or Glass Ball.GAMEPLAY CHANGESPegs can no longer trigger "when clicked" abilities until obtainedRedid Jesterolls animations to hopefully make him less nausea-inducingAdjus…

Fixed Flower unlock not workingFixed Outlet not working
- Ball limit update - 16 March 2026
A ball limit is being introduced to encourage people to drop their balls more often since they would usually just drop one ball at a time and stockpile them.I wasn't happy with Bacteriophage, it was a really weird peg but also very easy to abuse with no way of balancing it without changing it entirely, so it's been changed entirely... Sort of. The new bread peg is essentially just reworked Bacteriophage but it's ability didn't really fit the theme so it was also rethemed.The Sun retheme might seem random but it's something that's been bothering me for a while. The original design for Sun was to give all pegs on the board score but that wasn't really possible so it shifted into instantly giving score when a peg is hit. This basically made no sense for the ability, yet the theme stayed. I've been wanting to change it into something more fitting but couldn't think of anything. Thankfully I…

This was a tedious process which involved changing each ball individually to fit the new system, so if any ball looks or functions a bit differently it's most likely for the sake of performanceAUDIO IS LESS LAGGY NOW!
