Pachinko your way through adventure!

Become a hero facing the likes of monsters and bandits as you explore the wilderness. Upgrade your local Pachinko town to get stronger, adding blacksmiths to fortune tellers across your board to bump into new buffs as you head out. And with the multiplier bonus, the more pegs you hit the more resources you can collect!

This little demo is the initial game idea. Place pegs on your board to upgrade the town and give yourself the chance to collect new resources. Use these to earn gold to buy new pegs from the Merchant. Collect swords and potions to battle monsters, and pick up eyes to reveal what encounters your hero is going to face. 


How to Play:

Each day you'll launch your adventurer down the pachinko board! When they hit a special peg you'll gain resources for your adventure.

SPECIAL PEGS:

The Job Board

The Job Board gives you ! Whenever you hit it, you'll receive coins equal to your multiplier. The Job Board is special as it can activate any number of times in one run. Coins can then be spent at Merchants to buy other resources or new pegs

The Fortune Teller

Once per run the Fortune Teller gives you ! You can spend them to reveal upcoming encounters at the bottom of the board before you launch your adventurer.

The Blacksmith 

Once per run the Blacksmith gives you ! This is one of the two resources needed to fight monsters.

The Apothecary

Once per run the Apothecary  gives you ! This is one of the two resources needed to fight monsters.

ENCOUNTERS:

Fights

Fights pit you up against monsters in the wild. Each has a "cost" of one more resources. If you have the amount of resources when you start a fight you'll spend them to best the monster and receive a reward. 

If you don't have enough of each resource to win the fight you'll instead have to spend a . Shields are rare and you can't get them from pegs, but they'll save you if you can't finish a fight.

If you don't have enough resources or shields to win a fight, you'll be hurt by the monsters and lose a . Lose all four hearts and it's game over!

Merchants

Merchants allow you to spend coins to get new pegs for your board or buy resources for fights to come. You can't buy a peg if there isn't enough room in your inventory!

Some items can be bought multiple times, you can see the merchant's stock in the top right of the item's window. Click on the price box to buy it.

Merchant's prices raise every day so make sure you have a steady influx of coins!

Special Events

You'll learn what these do when you find them :o

CONTROLS:

Quest-chinko only requires a mouse to play. 

Left click on a button to press it.

Left click on a fog cloud to spend a  and reveal what encounter is hidden there.

Left click on a special peg in your inventory then left click on an empty peg to place it on your board. Special pegs can't be moved once placed.

You can destroy special pegs however by holding down the right click button over one until it vanishes.

You can right click to deselect a peg you have selected.

TIPS AND HINTS:

This is a prototype build which means it's a little unbalanced! There's proper wincon right now, just a fail state. But you can consider yourself a winner if you fill up every peg in your board.

Your multiplier increases whenever you hit a special peg and resets to 0 when you hit an empty peg. Try and chain peg hits together to get more resources out of each hit!

Neat game! I managed to fill the board in a little over 100 days, but my run was ended when the adventurer got stuck, balanced atop a peg!

Wow really innovative concept! I'm a little overwhelmed by the amount of mechanics though. Great job guys!
