what is Pachinkle?

An incremental pachinko-like game featuring obstructing pendulums, upgrade paths, and an idle phase after progression.

Pachinkle simulates a pachinko experience with pendulums blocking the ball's path and four upgrade paths to choose from. The early game is challenging, but after enough upgrades, the game can run idly. It includes a day/night cycle for visual effect.

It sits in the Clicker / Idle / Prestige / Numbers corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
