Plinker — The Addictive Physics Plinko Score Attack Game

Plinker is a free browser Plinko-style game powered by real Box2D physics. Drop colored balls from the top of a tall peg board, watch them ricochet unpredictably off rows of golden pegs, and try to land them in the highest-scoring slot at the bottom. Every drop is different, every bounce is real, and chasing the jackpot never gets old.

How It Works

You aim a targeting line at the top of a vertical board filled with 10 rows of pegs in a triangular grid. Drop a ball and it bounces freely through the pegs — no scripted paths, pure physics — before settling into one of nine scoring slots at the bottom. The center jackpot slot pays 100 points. Slots get progressively lower toward the edges, down to just 5 points at the outermost positions.

You start with 10 balls. Every 100 points earns you a bonus ball, so accurate play keeps your run alive longer. When a ball lands, it flashes the slot color, pops a score number upward, then explodes in a burst of colored sparks and a shockwave ring that physically nudges any other balls still in flight — creating satisfying chain interactions.

Who Is It For?

Plinker is for anyone who loves the satisfying unpredictability of Plinko combined with real score-attack strategy. The precision aiming system rewards careful targeting while the physics engine ensures no two drops play out the same way. It is perfect for short high-score sessions and impossible to walk away from after just one drop.
