Peglin can be called an attempt to cross a simplified bagel with a pachinko machine (pachinko). The user controls one of the peglins. This is the name given to green creatures that suffered from the oppression of dragons. One day, among them there was a hero who went on a journey to the lair of fire-breathing lizards. He wants to put an end to the tyranny of monsters and at the same time return the gold stolen from his relatives. This project has 2D hand-drawn graphics in the style of pixel art and a fantasy setting. The camera is located on the side. Locations are generated randomly each time. The order in which monsters appear is also constantly changing. The protagonist has only one life. If your health bar goes down to zero, you will have to start the race from the very beginning.

The gameplay in Peglin is reminiscent of the Peggle series. It can be divided into 2 phases. First, the user travels along the global map, choosing a further path at forks. He also participates in various events, such as simple text quests with decision making and the consequences of choice. When he encounters opponents, the battle begins. The fights combine real-time and turn-based mode. The main character and his opponents take turns. In one turn, enemies can move towards him or carry out one of the attacks. And the protagonist can only deliver various blows, including magic ones. Before performing the technique, a mini-game in the spirit of pinball is turned on. In it you need to launch a ball and hit as many pegs as possible. After this, the fighter will inflict damage on the adversaries, depending on the number of points earned. As he progresses, he finds various spheres and relics.
