Devolver Digital and Dark Dark Goose announced HYPERDROP, a pachinko roguelite coming to PC where players build point-scoring boards by upgrading pegs and balls to trigger chain reactions and combos. A Steam demo is available now.
In HYPERDROP, you start with an empty pegboard and progressively transform it into a scoring machine. Peg upgrades grant perks like splitting balls into multiples, sending balls back to the top, creating gravity wells, or triggering explosions that ripple across the board. Ball upgrades let you double their size, infuse them with volatile energy, make them sticky, or add extra bounce.
The core loop involves picking a drop spot, releasing your ball, and watching the physics unfold as you chain together peg effects for as long as possible. You retain strategic control over peg placement and upgrade choices to maximize points. The game includes increasingly difficult stages with unique modifiers and boss battles that force players to rethink their builds.
Each completed run opens new challenges with alternate board layouts and fresh gameplay approaches. HYPERDROP features neon-soaked visuals and a pulsing electronic soundtrack that evolves dynamically as your score increases.
The full game launches soon on PC. The Steam demo is live now.
