Hyperdrop: Devolver-published pachinko roguelite for Peggle fans

Hyperdrop is an upcoming PC game from developer Dark Dark Goose and publisher Devolver Digital that combines pachinko-style physics with roguelite progression. Players upgrade pegs and balls to create combos and scoring synergies, face boss battles, and advance through increasingly difficult stages. A playable demo is available on Steam and the game is featured in the Steam Pins and Pegs Fest, which runs through August 20.

• Hyperdrop is the debut title from Dark Dark Goose, published by Devolver Digital, and is described as a pachinko roguelite.
• Players upgrade pegs to trigger effects like gravity wells, explosions, and multiball, and can modify balls to be bigger, sticky, extra-bouncy, or otherwise unique.
• The game uses roguelite progression: repeated runs let players ‘fail upward’ toward stronger builds, and stages include boss battles and escalating difficulty.
• A demo is available on Steam now, and Hyperdrop is included in Steam’s Pins and Pegs Fest, which offers discounts on peg-and-pin themed games through August 20.
