PlinkIdle Steam Playtest starts now!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We hit a big milestone today!

After a huge update (global upgrades, more languages, buff cards, two currencies and so on) and our first closed beta we launch the open Steam Playtest now!

Official PlinkIdle Steam Playtest Trailer:

Head over and enter PlinkIdle Playtest today!

Is that it, though?

We sure hope not. The biggest next feedback we'd like to address is the same-ness of the stages. We have ideas, but the stuff above was more urgent. We're hoping that we can soon add mechanics like:

  • Special temporary stages (like the treasure ship in mario 3).

  • Stage mechanics in several or all stages, like...things are slower and frozen in winter, and you can use heat to thaw it. Gravity is weird in space, so you can invest in gravity to fix it. Things like that.

  • More exciting ball and peg variety.

  • Collectibles.

  • Let us know if there are any specific things you'd love to see in the game.

How can we Support PlinkIdle?

Black Heart Games is a little indie studio and they need all the support they can get until we launch this game for real.

  • Share the game with streamers and friends who might like this type of game! That's the easiest way.

  • Wishlisting on Steam helps us get attention.  

  • Feedback is always so helpful, either on the main page, or here: https://forms.clickup.com/90151800262/f/2kyqeke6-1195/NJ1S0AAHSZJ5KO5JJK

  • or discord!

Thanks for reading, thanks for playing, and we look forward to hearing from you!
