About the Game

Game Overview
In this light, casual physics marble game, you drop little balls onto a pegboard and let them collide, chain, and pile up before rolling into the collection slot to convert into ⭐ score and rewards. We’ve mixed in a touch of roguelite elements: every run features different upgrade combos and random events—short runs, snappy feedback.

Worldbuilding
A little Chick has set up a “Lucky Egg Machine” in the barn—drop energy eggs from the sky into the glass chamber and they’ll jingle across the pegs, falling into the water to become stars and bonuses. The Chick dances and cheers you on; the wheel on the right is an ancient “blessing ritual.” Each night the Chick faces tougher pegboard layouts to see how much “good cluck” can be gathered today.

Core Gameplay

  • [Satisfying Physics] Click/press to drop eggs; collisions, bounces, and falls create chain gains.

    [Light Roguelite] New upgrades and mini-events each run to shape your scoring plan.

    [Lucky Wheel] At key moments, draw bonuses (extra stars, refills, increase mass, etc.).

    [Short Runs] Quick sessions for bite-sized play; easy to pick up and pause anytime.

    [Progressive Unlocks] Higher scores unlock more peg modules and upgrade options.

Features

  • Hand-drawn cozy style: clean 2D line art with a warm palette for a relaxing look.

    Clear feedback: stars, chains, and rewards are shown neatly in the side UI.

    Easy to play: primarily one button / mouse controls.

    Leaderboards: track and compare your best scores (global/friends boards may be enabled during tests).

How to Play

  • Your goal is to earn as many stars as possible.

    Eggs that eventually fall into the water grant EXP and stars.

    When the EXP bar is full, you can choose an upgrade.

    When balls drop into the three slots, the wheel spins to grant a reward.
