v2.0.8 Patch Notes (Contain small Act 4 Spoilers)
Hey all! No rest for the weary, the team has been hard at work playing whack-a-mole on all of the bugs reported since we launched the Act 4 update. Thank you for all the reports! Hopefully we've got the most egregious ones, and we'll have some other fixes out in the next couple o
Hey all!
No rest for the weary, the team has been hard at work playing whack-a-mole on all of the bugs reported since we launched the Act 4 update. Thank you for all the reports! Hopefully we've got the most egregious ones, and we'll have some other fixes out in the next couple of weeks.
Before we get into the nitty gritty, we wanted to share a few things that we launched as part of the Act 4 celebrations which include a couple of ways to help support the team for their hard work on Act 4 as well as development on future games (reducing the need for outside funding or publishing, for example).
The first is some cool new tees and a patch from the incredibly talented artists at The Yetee: https://theyetee.com/collections/peglin
Honestly the team ourselves are just really excited to get our hands on these, and the fact that we have the opportunity to share them is kind of just a bonus! 😅
The second and most direct is a new supporter's pack DLC and a Deluxe pack that includes the OST as well. There was never a world in which we were going to gate Act 4 behind a paid DLC but it did grow in scope and take longer to develop than we originally planned, so we created this extremely simple DLC for the people who asked if they could somehow buy the team a coffee to show their support. We're honestly just happy that people are still enjoying Peglin after all this time, but as we stare down the road of developing a new game from scratch (in a new game engine...) we'll certainly accept all of the support we can get!
View game page View game page
We've also brought back our bundle with Balatro (for a potentially limited time!), so if you missed out the first time now is a good chance to grab it at a double discount! (Bundle Discount + Spring Sale Discount)
View game page
Okay thank you for indulging me! Without further ado:
Changes to v2.0.6 (these have been live since Mar. 23rd, so you might have noticed them already)
Mimics now also receive an increasing amount of Ballwark from... a particular Challenge.
Puppet no longer activates if damage is taken in a shop
Glass Half Ball Transpherency-on-draw is now increased by Status Symbol
The Balladin Unlock-over-time description now matches the requirement of 2500
Echo & Pincer Maneuvorb no longer result in damage overflowing if damage has passed the integer limit
Pebball duplication challenge now duplicates Orebs as Orebs instead of just as stones
Damage slots no longer move around after misfiring while navigating while holding the Weighted Chip
Bullyball self-damage is no longer unblockable
Oreb level 3 now grants 160 gold (up from 140) when removed)
Loading screen has had some small visual improvements from pixel bleeding on the screen edge
Slime Hive no longer appears duplicated over its tree
v2.0.8:
Pegboard softlocking has hopefully now been fully addressed, but please report any weirdness via our Discord or our support email. (This was a rare-ish edge case that was causing softlocks for some users after a very wide sweep of optimizations made in the 2.0 update. We're hoping that the issues have been fully addressed and everyone can enjoy the Act 4 update with the improvements made!)
Highway Orbbery, Extra-Orbinary, and Allorbnothing (in particular, but in addition to other orbs) should now display and affect their stats as expected
Intangiball Slobelisk now has the proper effect icon
Many edge cases where Health is Wealth would display the incorrect cost have been addressed
Peg buffs and subtractions now apply before Spin Doctor would multiply them
Thesaurosus no longer flinches when taking very small amounts of damage to avoid crazy flickering with chip damage
Night Knights will now play their death animation more reliably instead of disappearing early when in certain states
Multiple fixes made to dying in shops not ending a run as it should
Visual improvements made to the decoration in the Inferno event

Nearly 2 years after hitting 1.0, goblin pachinko roguelike Peglin adds a fourth act and a final boss: 'It's been a long time coming'
The Peggle series may have long been lost to the free-to-play maelstrom that is mobile gaming, but PC gamers jonesing for a fantastical pachinko fix can at least console themselves with Peglin . The game takes the ball-bouncing, peg-busting fundamentals of Peggle, then smashes it

v2.0.3 Patch Notes
Hey everyone! It's been a long time coming, but here's Peglin 2.0! We've finally added the long-awaited Act 4 and the final boss battle to the game, and we hope to have made it a big spectacle for all of you. We've also included a tonnnnne of balance changes which should mix up the experience and make older orbs and relics useful in a wider range of builds. We’ve also introduced a more straightforward way of unlocking all of the characters and a little bit of first-run streamlining for those that are newer to their Peglin journeys! We'll have more to say when we go out to the main stable branch, but for now, here's the (very long) list of changes: Please note: This update will be incompatible with existing save data, so please finish your current saved run before updating if you don't want to lose it!
New Content
[New Act!]Act 4 - The Core - Some changes will take place once you’ve beaten the game at least once with each character… and they might just hold the key to unlocking the very depths of Radia! Act 4 features both powerful new enemies and the chance to really make the finishing touches on your awesome Peglin run, so long as you survive the challenges required to get there.
And not to worry if you’ve still got characters left to unlock. Each class now features a second means of being earned! You can work towards these new goals more slowly over time, while the option to immediately unlock a class with their respective achievement still remains. We hope this will finally let new players get to the meat of the game more consistently, especially with the addition of Act 4.
Challenges - Once Act 4 is unlocked, you will begin to encounter a whole new type of item: these mysterious, optional challenges apply only for one act, and while they can be quite troublesome, the most astute peglins out there might just be able to work some of them to their own advantage, and those brave enough to take them on might just find their way to greater depths than ever before.
Simplified the New Player Experience We are now reducing the overwhelm of new players by limiting the number and complexity of the relics you are offered before a run starts. This only applies if you haven’t won a run yet.
New Music for the Core! - Act 4 of course features brand new tunes by our wonderfully talented composer, Crashtroid.
New Achievements! - Four new, final achievements to go along with act 4!
[New Rare Relic]Spooky Haglin's Scary Hat - For every 2 health lost, add 1 coin to the board.
[New Rare Roundrel/Peglin Relic]Chain of Reaction - The first time each battle that you evade an attack, gain 100 Ballusion.
[New Rare Roundrel Relic]Counter Tack - Whenever you dodge an attack, damage the enemy that attacked you.
[New Rare Roundrel Relic]Weave of Fate - All Ballusion you gain is doubled, but you lose twice as much Ballusion when Ballusion triggers.
[New Common Roundrel Relic]Duck (And Cover) - Whenever you evade an attack, gain 15 Ballusion.
New Secret Relic] ???
[New Scenario]Rainbow Slime Encounter - A Rainbow Slime has no coins and desperately needs them. Will you pay some gold to remove an orb, or will you fight the defenseless slime?
[New Scenario]Giant Old Brick Slime - A giant Brick Slime has blocked your path! What will you do?
Oreb! is! back!!! We’ve brought back this old orb and its scenario but with some new twists. While your grubby little grabby hands still force you to take the Oreb from the scenario, Orebs are now upgradeable and grant gold when removed!
Load time and framerate of battles have been improved.
New regular Mines battle with a flickering spiral of pegs.
Some status effects have been renamed to include a pun. You might have already seen these since some platforms are able to pick up changes to our localization files live (so we’re able to fix typos without a full update, for example). Blind -> Darcness, Brambled -> Tangled, Confused -> Conefused, Projectile Reflect -> Rebound, New Status Effects? -> ???. We apologize for our naming sins (and our cos' and our tans').
We’ve also added a button to the main menu that allows you to follow us on Steam! Hit that button if you want to be kept in the loop on our future projects!

Cruciball 4 misnavigation damage reduced slightly to 4 instead of 5 damage.

Best Orbfence now pierces all enemies but can only target grounded enemies.
Worbhammer base damage increased from 4/5/6 to 4/6/8.
Angry Tomahawk’s damage has been buffed. Its stats are now equal to 15% / 20% / 25% of your missing health. Also, having max health lower than 100 now no longer makes the orb do less damage, but having higher max health can still increase it.
Arcentuate now gives 1/3/5 Muscircle and deals 1/3/5 self-damage. Its stats have been reduced from 2/4, 3/6, 4/8 to 1/2, 2/4, 3/6.
Circcae’s damage stats increased from 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 to 2/1, 4/1, 6/1. It now also grants 1/2/3 Ballwark whenever one of its multiballs leaves the battlefield.
Orbust’s damage stats increased from 1/1, 2/2, 3/3 to 2/3, 3/4, 4/5.

Discarding Activatorbs now buffs the next orb's stats at all levels, and its stats have increased from 0/1, 1/2, 2/4 to 1/2, 2/4, 3/6.
[h4]General Balance Changes[/h4]
Snowballs now keep track of the number of pegs hit even if you didn’t hit a buffing threshold, allowing the next snowball fired to start from where the last one left off and vastly increasing the consistency of these orbs.
Snowballs damage stats increased from 1/2 at all levels to 1/2, 2/3, 3/4.

Thesaurosus now gains 1 Muscircle when an orb enters the inhaling slot on the pegboard (or 3 Muscircle on C20).
Resistance Knight now increases its Rebound (formally known as Reflect) by 2 instead of 1 when hit by projectile attack.
In-Flight Knights now only attack every other turn, and their damage has increased from 4 to 6.
Malevolent Portraits now create Spinfection pegs when defeated, instead of directly debuffing the player. These pegs then apply 1 Spinfection to you when activated (can only be activated once).
Flying Sapper Minion’s damage reduced to 30, speed increased from 2 to 3 slots per turn.
Added some additional enemies to Forest easy spiderweb battle to help prolong the fight and let you collect more gold.
The flickering pegs in the easy Mines 2 Sporeshroom + Crystal Slimeglob fight now stay on for longer than they stay off.

More pegs added to Forest moving pegs (“boids”) battle

Improved Glass Half Ball’s SFX.
The Demon Wall and Brick Slimebox enemies now respect the Screenshake Intensity setting.
Scenarios that have coins in their navigation pegboard will now always let you navigate even if there’s only one way to go, giving you a chance to grab those coins.

Demon wall will no longer eat you if you are holding the Seraphic Shield.
Fixed Chanballier’s status effects sometimes overlapping with enemies below them.
Fixed C19-spawned Malevolent Portraits counting as minions, which meant they wouldn’t generate max HP pegs with Grinding Monstera.
Fixed Resistance Knight not scaling up its Rebound (formerly known as Reflect) if it has any Transpherency applied.
Max health increasing pegs created by Grinding Monstera are no longer invisible in the Mines invisible miniboss fight.
Small change to stump/spider pegboard to make a bomb easier to hit.

Hey all!
We know it’s been a while since we dropped an update and we appreciate your patience while we keep working away! Unfortunately Act 4 itself isn’t quite ready yet, but we wanted to do an interim release to get a lot of the bugfixes and balance changes (and a bit of new content as well) that we’ve been making while we’ve been working on the new content.
We still don’t have a solid ETA for the big update as parts of it have grown more ambitious than originally planned, but we’re hoping it will be worth the wait :) As always, thank you for playing Peglin and for sharing all of your feedback and gameplay videos both with us and more widely, we couldn’t do it without you!
Best Regorbs,
Dylan & The Red Nexus Games Team

Patch Notes for v1.1.10

Hey everyone! We have a new bugfix-focused patch for you. Don't worry, Act 4 will be next✨
We're adding fixes for a number of longstanding issues in the game. Namely, multiple softlocks have been addressed, brick peg bounce prediction has been fixed, and fixes for occasional issues where the game would not save Cruciball progression properly have been added as well.
The patch will be available in our experimental branch on Steam until early next week!
v1.1.10 Patch Notes
Changes

The shields that Kite Knight’s hold now visually show the status effects they have.
Changed the art for enemies in the upcoming enemy preview scroll.
Altered the new Brick Slime and Plant fight to be easier by adding 3 bombs to the board, making the 2nd Plant start close to you, and delaying the spawn of the final Brick Slime.
Added new art in the bestiary for the Domesticated Battrap and both the icon and loot art for the Euphorbia.
Bugfixes and Small Changes

Our backup system was sometimes causing issues where Cruciball progression wouldn’t be properly matched up with backup files, and the game was overwriting the main file with the backup save. To address this, we have changed this for a non-destructive merge of data instead. This means that those of you who have seen instances of Cruciball progression not stick will no longer see this affect you.
Fixed a softlock in the Slenderlin fight where orbs would bounce against the wall forever.
Fixed the softlock in the Shield Mage fight where its Ballwark icons could get duplicated.
Fixed softlock in the Thesaurosus fight.
Fixed Status Symbol from not properly tracking its highest Cruciball completion level.
Fixed a long-standing bug where, when using Unicorn Horn, brick peg prediction did not match the outcome of the shot. Other additional prediction issues with Unicorn Horn (bouncing off of walls, for instance) should be fixed with this change as well.
Fixed issue where the player would take 2 turns of damage at the beginning of a fight despite having the Round Cheese combo.
Fixed bug with the prediction line when you aimed a Summoning Circle while you had the Matryoshka Shell.
Fixed the navigation of the buttons in the Corrupted Save File warning when using a controller.
Fixed the interaction between Instigatorb and Memorb not giving you Memorbs bonus damage when it attacks all enemies.
Fixed bug where Pincer Maneuver’s second attack wouldn’t fire when you used a Summoning Circle to fire a targeted orb.
Fixed a bug where destroying dull pegs in the Pigment of Imagination fight would cause improper prediction for those pegs.
Fixed the prediction line passing through pegs in the Peg-ta fight sometimes.
Stopped relic keyword tooltips from overflowing off the bottom of the screen.
Fixed prediction issues with the Flickering Pegs pegboard in the Mines
Fixed the relic collection sound effect not playing in peg minigames.
Slightly reduced the volume of the relic collection sound effect.
Fixed the brown map getting misaligned when it’s open while you destroy all the bombs in a chest.
Fixed the Assemball not displaying properly in run summaries when you have multiple of them.

Tender Cactus now properly shows the extra damage it’s doing from buffed pegs as your orb bounces around.
Fixed Summoning Circle showing 0 damage on the pegboard when you have Tender Cactus.
Fixed softlock with Necorbmancer and Viridian Trinket on brick pegs.

Fixed gold lost indicator being green instead of red.
Button prompts in the Encirclepedia no longer block mouse clicks from activating buttons they overlap.

[Experimental] v1.1.5 Available Now!

Hi everyone!
We’ve got another small update for you all to help improve stability and bugs that followed our big 1.1.0 update while we continue to work away on Act 4. It’s available now on the experimental branch and will be releasing to default as soon as we are confident that it doesn’t introduce any major new issues.
While we’ve mostly been focusing new development on the Act 4 update, this patch does contain a few fun balance changes and a nice quality of life improvement for the Custom Run system.
We’ve also got a new bundle with Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, so if you’re looking for a new roguelike to pick up during this Steam sale you can get an additional discount just for owning Peglin!
v1.1.5 Patch Notes
New Content

You can now change orbs’ levels in Custom Start.
Added toggle in the options menu to make loot and card drops instant.
Assemball Sectorbs offered to you that you already own will reroll once into another Sectorb. The reroll doesn’t guarantee uniqueness, but it does increase the odds.

Lightning Rod bestiary entries are now slightly easier to unlock.
Added a tooltip to bombs and rigged bombs that change based on your Cruciball level.

The upcoming enemy scroll now uses each enemy's bestiary icon.
Orbs and Relics now track the highest Cruciball level you beat while having them in your loadout. You can view this in the tooltip for each of them (the tracking data hasn’t been collected until this update, so you will not see this until you beat a Cruciball level)
Balance Changes

Tender Cactus now makes orbs not fire at all, its exponential damage modifier has been decreased from 1.3 to 1.25, the damage you’re dealing to enemies will display next to your orb as it hits pegs instead of the shot damage, and peg buff damage will now also be done immediately.
A Good Slime now triggers whenever slime is applied to a peg, positive or negative.
Refresh Perspective now triggers when Necorbmancer refreshes a peg.
Double-Edged Sworb buffed to reduce refreshed peg damage by 25%/50%/75% instead of 0%/25%/50%, and now also damages all enemies for 1/3/5 damage per peg refreshed when drawn.
Doctorb changed to no longer remove itself from your deck if fired at level 1, but instead has 0/1 stats at level 1.
Necorbmancer crit damage increased from 10/12/14 to 11/13/15, and its buff on refreshed pegs has been increased from 2/4/6 to 5/7/9.
Crit Sectorb crit damage increased from 7 to 8.
Slime Sectorb slime application made more frequent (changed from 5 to 4 pegs hit).
Upgrade Sectorb peg buff increased from +2 per hit to +3.

Fast Reakaton now also triggers for enemies that start on the battlefield.
Multiball and mirrored Eggs no longer remove other Eggs from your satchel.
Fixed rare softlocks in the Dragon boss fight.
Fixed Sporeshrooms still buffing enemies the moment after the Sporeshroom dies.
Fixed a bunch of wrong numbers in Bestiary entries.
Fixed some more issues with save files getting corrupted.
Fixed bug where one of the attacks with Pincer Maneuver that doesn't hit any enemies could last a long time.
Fixed softlock when hitting the Requite Knight with a Ballanx.
Grinding Monstera no longer restores your health if you were defeated by a self-destructing enemy.
Fixed the Assemball’s Buff Sectorb text sometimes having the wrong number.
Currently Selected Cruciball Level text will now update immediately after changing game language.
Popping Corn description no longer states "during battle", to match its functionality.
Fixed bug where selecting undiscovered relics with keyboard/controller in Custom Start relic selection menu would display their actual tooltip.

Added sound effect when Torn Sash is triggered.
Ballwark text in orb and relic descriptions now always uses the same highlighting colour.
Pause menu UI has been given a bit of a fresh coat of paint.
Fixed the Bramble status effect always doing a flat 10 damage to passing enemies instead of doing 10 damage per stack.
