Peglin is a game created by Red Nexus Games that combines the mechanics of Peggle with roguelike progression and mechanics.
the game can be purchased on its Steam page.
The game is priced at US$19.99, and ran a 10% discount upon the early access launch.
Gameplay[]
The game plays much like Peggle does - the player can launch their ball (or in this case, a variety of orbs) at various pegs. However, there is no score system - the game instead has a variety of enemies and bosses you can fight using your orbs.
The player can also progress through various areas through the game's map. The official (or "canon") ending is not currently implemented, and as such reaching the mines is considered the current ending.
