I wanted to love this. I tried to love this. I'm the person who should love this. [b]I just could not love this.[/b] I've had more fun with free idle games on my phone. [list] [*]9 balls but at least 3 or 4 more or less just the regular ball in better clothing [*]Progression is slow and lopsided: [*]Very little meaningful build choice and you can leave it running for hours and hours and by the 2nd day you're barely making enough to buy an upgrade [*]90% of the upgrades are just "+0.45% chance for Prestige Peg" and whatnot (no sense of tactics or meaningful choices) [*]Gold upgrades become mostly redundant inside the first leg or so after you've unlocked all the balls.

pretty fun, wound up spending more time with it than i thought i would! overstays it welcome a bit but i love peggle and i love idle games so i rly cant complain

Addictive

PegIdle takes the classic pachinko/pegboard style mechanic and blends it with idle progression, and honestly? It works way better than I expected. Watching the little balls bounce around, rack up points, and unlock upgrades scratches that same satisfying itch as watching numbers climb in other idle games — but with a fun, visual twist. The appeal is in its simplicity. You drop balls, they bounce around, and you earn resources. Then you use those resources to unlock more pegs, boosts, and upgrades that make every drop feel more rewarding. It’s relaxing to watch, but there’s always a sense of “just one more upgrade” keeping you invested. Progression feels fair — slow at first, sure, but once you get rolling, the upgrades layer on in a way that makes you want to keep optimizing your board. It’s got that “idle zen” energy while still giving you enough control to strategize how you want to build. It won’t blow your mind like some of the more feature-heavy idle games, ...

Reluctantly I have to give a thumbs down. Obvious corollary to Peggle, sure, but the actual gameplay is not so great, and the upgrade tree is lousy. You either have to focus on gold - where the best way is to leave one hard-to-reach peg and then just fire your one most upgraded ball into the basket infinteiy - or upgrade all the balls to autolaunch and leave the game running for a few hours to grind prestige points. Say you grind the first 10,000 points and get the purple pegs - they basically don't appear, and cannot be used effectively to improve your rate on anything at all. Incredibly disappointing, and just reminds me that Peggle, while a different game, was actually fun for hours on end.

Does what it says on the tin.
