Description of App
Pegfall is a one-handed pegboard physics roguelite where every shot draws an orb from your deck. Aim, bounce through a living board, build ruthless combos, and descend into the Maw.
NEW: PLAY WITH VOICEOVER
Aim by named directions, fire with a double tap or Magic Tap, hear every volley, and inspect the board whenever you need to. Peg types use shapes as well as colour, so every board reads clearly.
▸ FAIR — SKILL, NOT LUCK
A dotted trajectory preview shows where your shot lands. Every bounce is yours.
▸ A CAMPAIGN THAT ENDS — 10 CHAPTERS, 200 FLOORS
Face ten bosses across distinct boards, palettes and rules. Each chapter starts you bare; every decision rebuilds your run.
▸ BUILDS THAT STACK
20 orbs, 23 relics, 14 upgrade cards and three characters create runs that go in completely different directions. Take a curse when the floor asks for one.
▸ THE BOARD FIGHTS BACK
Deeper chapters erode spent pegs, wire circuits through armour, and reshape the board as you play.
▸ 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.
▸ GET STRONGER AS YOU PLAY
Earn permanent upgrades, unlock ascension tiers, achievements, themes, ball skins, faces and note banks. Never pay to win.
▸ MADE TO BE PLAYED BY MORE PEOPLE
VoiceOver support, clear combat feedback, accessible peg shapes, Reduce Motion support, and real 44pt touch targets.
Special thanks to accessibility tester Matheus Rheine for helping shape this update.
▸ MOBILE-NATIVE
True portrait, one-handed, free to start. No energy timer and no premium wall.
Honest monetization: optional rewarded continues, an ad-free purchase, cosmetics and essence pouches. Everything in a pouch is also earnable by playing.
Comments
This game is nice.
The accessibility here is shocking in the best way, it's quite easy to win honestly but it's still fun.
fun but some questions.
I'm really liking this once I got the hang of it, and the accessibility definitely prompted me to buy the removal of adds. A few things do confuse me.
first, do upgrades stack, or do I need to keep my deck size small as in dawncaster. Since you don't seem to be able to remove a relic I'd be curious as to how the power thing works.
Second, I've found directions and targets useful, but I'm not really sure if there's a point to changing the power? As it just seems to make my score less.
I also haven't played around too much with step increments either, as it seems most often it's best to just go where the crit pegs and bomb pegs are. Is there some strategy I'm missing?
It'd also be nice if there was a winning sound for when you Ko the monsters, and maybe different bouncing sounds too, though the ascending tones are fun!
Re: fun but some questions.
Thank you for buying the ad removal, and for taking the time to write this up. I'm the developer, so let me answer each one.
Upgrades and deck size: a duplicate does not add a second copy to your deck. It upgrades the orb you already own, and it buffs that orb's signature effect, not just its damage. Your deck only grows when you take an orb type you don't have yet. Orbs are drawn in a fixed cycle rather than shuffled, so a wider deck means any single orb comes around less often. So it's a real choice: take duplicates to make one build hit harder, take new orbs for more tools. Stat cards are separate from this, they buff every orb you own. Relics can't be removed, but they never dilute anything either, they're always active.
Power: there are three steps, soft, medium and full, and they set how fast the orb leaves the launcher. Lower power means a shorter path and fewer bounces, so in most shots it really does mean less damage. You're not missing anything there. It's meant as a placement tool, for dropping into one area instead of sending the orb across the whole board. If it isn't helping you, leaving it at full is a perfectly good way to play.
Step size and targets: your instinct is right. Targets mode exists exactly because crit pegs and bomb pegs are usually the right thing to aim at, and it gives you the angles that reach them. The step sizes, one, five and fifteen degrees, are there for the cases targets can't cover: fine-tuning between two targets, or lining up a bounce off a wall when the target list is short.
Sounds: this is the part I'm most glad you raised, because the next update is mostly audio. It adds a defeat motif for bosses, twelve combat earcons for things you currently have to infer, like armour soaking a hit, poison ticking, the board refilling or a lethal warning, and variation banks so repeated peg bounces stop sounding identical. There are also optional sound themes that change the whole set. I'm finishing that update now, so I'd rather not promise a date.
Two questions back, if you don't mind. When you say a winning sound for KOs, do you mean regular enemies, bosses, or both? And would you find it useful if crit pegs and bomb pegs sounded different from ordinary pegs while the orb is bouncing?
