It's an alright concept to start a game with but it's nowhere near ready for release. The most major problem, by far, is that this thing completely maxes out one CPU thread. This is not acceptable for an idle game by any stretch. The carbon footprint for this game and performance penalty to my hardware is too high to keep this game running.
Unless this is fixed, it's an immediate don't-buy. But beyond that there are many issues.
Pros:
I really like the sound effects of balls hitting the multiplier zones.
Cons:
Jackpot doesn't work, or doesn't tell you it works, which is worse.
Balls don't collide with each other, making a plinko-style game pretty pointless.
The first height extension puts the point cups directly underneath pegs, making it a dice roll which cup you get credit for. It should be "add one level, add one multiplier zone".
Further height extensions push the plinko board underneath the UI. You eventually have to make your window bigger each time you buy one.
Tabs don't light up when upgrades are available. This is worst for the "Board" upgrade set, as it has a bunch of super cheap upgrades hidden way down at the bottom of the list.
Random ball start position upgrade makes balls spawn in the void and then roll down invisible rails to ~halfway down the pyramid.
Prestige is based on current cash, not total cash earned. Coming back from AFK and misclicking on an upgrade can cost hours of progress.
You can prestige with a multiplier less than one (or, you appear to be able to), which if done would just brick your save file.
Manually clicking is so stupidly better than automation, and is strictly additive. Any second you're not giving yourself carpal tunnel or using an autoclicker is wasted time.
The luck upgrades to push your balls to the edges make most bounces look super unnatural and broken which kinda defeats the one thing this game has going for it.
Some of the upgrade sorting into tabs doesn't make sense. The "luck" upgrades are in "Manual", but they don't seem to depend on manual play.
(minor issue) many ball colors are indistinguishable from the background for me as a colorblind guy, but since they don't interact with each other and you get so many balls it doesn't affect enjoyment any.
