About Peglin

Peglin pits you against dragon‑controlled forces that have hoarded your gold for ages. Venture through enchanted woods, breach a fortress, and finally confront the dragon’s lair to reclaim what’s yours.

The game fuses Peggle’s aiming fun with Slay the Spire’s strategic depth, letting you collect and upgrade orbs and relics while navigating physics‑based battles that end your run on defeat.

01 / THE GUIDE

Core Gameplay

Peglin blends the casual aiming of Peggle with the deck‑building tension of Slay the Spire, creating a hybrid where each shot feels both lucky and strategic.

You launch a ball that ricochets among pegs, and the orbs you equip modify its path or add effects, turning physics into a tactical resource.

  • Experiment with different orb combos to see how they alter bounce patterns.
  • Watch peg clusters; hitting more often yields higher damage.

02 / THE GUIDE

Procedural Map Exploration

Every run generates a fresh map that threads through woods, a fortress, and finally the dragon’s lair, ensuring no two journeys look identical.

Along the way you encounter varied enemies and discover new orbs, making each layout a mix of familiar challenges and unexpected surprises.

  • Take note of map shortcuts that appear early.
  • Adjust strategy when new enemy types emerge.

Items, Potions, and Bombs

Combat supplies three consumable types: crit potions that boost damage, refresh potions that reset certain effects, and bombs that clear pegs in a burst.

Using each item at the right moment can swing a tight encounter, especially when the enemy’s health hovers near defeat.

  • Save crit potions for bosses with high health.
  • Use bombs to clear dense peg sections before a big attack.

04 / THE GUIDE

Orbs and Relics

Orbs serve as your primary offensive tools, each carrying a distinct effect such as extra damage, chain reactions, or status alterations.

Relics act as passive upgrades, influencing both your attacks and the physics of the board, and can be upgraded to increase their impact.

  • Prioritize upgrading orbs that match your preferred playstyle.
  • Combine relics that complement each other's effects for synergy.

05 / THE GUIDE
