“I do enjoy the game, it is a fun rouge-like to play. However, I do wish there was an ability to keep playing after act 3, like going back to the start but facing harder versions of all the enemies, to see how far I can…”
“I'm usually an avid roguelike hater but this game is strangely addictive and really fun. Pegging is surprisingly fun”
“The game started out as a great rouge-lite where you would be able to build fun combos. But with every update since, the devs increased difficulty to stupid, un-fun amounts, removed fun combos, nerved orbs, added way to…”

“Incredible game to sit and play or just pop into every now and then. As hard as you make it with seemingly infinite replay-ability, and developers that still update and release detailed patches and updates.”
“Updating your balls after 4 years? Heck yeah.”
“This game is super fun. I definitely recommend it. I can only see it getting better with each update.”

“Peglin has been my go-to chillout game for years. Every run is different enough to keep me interested, yet relaxed enough to play after a long day at work. The new content is a breath of fresh air.”
“This game is very replayable and one of the nicest aesthetics I've seen”

“I've been playing Peglin since it released for early access in 2022! It's incredible to see how far this game has come. I have it on PC, the switch, and iOS (most of my hours are on the switch). Very fun game, you can…”

“This is a soft Not Recommended. I think the game is fine, but I don't enjoy it very much. Forgive me if these thoughts are scattered. Played this game when it was new to early access and recently. I will say the game…”

“The game was fun in early access (to the point I wrote fan mail to the devs even) but the attempts to make the game more balanced have kinda killed the fun. What a shame.”

“Hear me out. I do like this game and can see myself playing much more of it, but I feel it is almost too easy. I get not every roguelite has to be super challenging but so far I've won both of my runs, without feeling…”
“Not to shabby, too easy unironically.”

“The price doesn’t quite match the quality.”
“feels like an overpriced flash game”
“I do but there is a caveat, and that is the RNG can be horrendous and can cost you heavy. There are also a total of 4 characters to play as but unlocking the other three feel longer than they should but the gameplay…”

“The game is ok, but theres something about it that makes it feel lacking. If you like to 100% games stay away from this, The loot system to complete the beastiary is made by a moron, rng hell and boring to farm.. awful.…”

“Biggest issue is map design. Most maps are not designed with that satisfying pachinko playstyle. Unlock speed for additional characters is too long. Would estimate it requires at least 10+ lucky runs before the first…”

“Fun game, if you love pachinko or Peggle. Definitely pick up on discount, as it feels short.”
“I want more Pegging action”

— a player, Steam review · 37 hrs played“This game is tons of fun. It's difficult, but not in an annoying way. More of a "So, that didn't work. Let's try something else," kind of way. It makes you want to get better. It doesn't put you down. You will fail... many times... but whatever you do, don't give up. Pick…”
