From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gameplay
Ballionaire is a pachinko-inspired roguelike video game in which the player drops balls onto a board filled with a variety of pegs. As the ball descends, it interacts with the pegs it contacts, triggering their effects and generating money. After each turn, the player is presented with a selection of three new pegs, from which one can be chosen to permanently add to the board. The objective is to accumulate enough money to hit an ever increasing target.[4][5][3]
