As a enjoyer of the version on pc I can say I didn’t expect the port but It feels like something that works for it, although you can tell how raw it is, being really obvious when you try to get the full game and it just removes the ability to get the full game. It really is just the same game on steam, and the port has some things that it could take from the dead cells port to mobile, like adjustable buttons and more customizable controls. All and all I feel like unlike dead cells this is a good game to port to mobile because of its less fast pace gameplay, but still making a requirement for being well timed. I will try to remind myself to give it a 5/5 stars if it gets a update to tune some of the obvious bugs and tune up the interfaces, but right now I think that it has potential. Just a couple ideas to better the controls, though this is just on the spot *aiming* Add buttons to change the angle of the shot, and customizable sensitivity to adjust how fast the angle changes Joystick Lock and load, or more or less select a target and press something to fire the shot to assure the user that the ball goes where they want *etc* Maybe make a portrait style viewing mode so that all the balls and options are below, but the gameplay is on the top, and make it so shooting the ball only worked by touching a part of the screen so that the trash button wouldn’t be so easy to press accidentally

I’ve really enjoyed Peglin, the game gives you a lot of variety for how you want to approach things - and the random events can keep things fresh by giving you more fights or items that help. Trying to unlock the other characters was actually fun rather than tedious since it encourages you to try different playstyles. Try the free trial and see what you think - I paid the $10 for the full game and with the four characters plus the added challenge given each successful run with a character - I am overall very happy with this game - would love to see updates with more orbs in the future but I also understand it’s a one time payment game. Which is also the reason I support the developer. You pay $10 once and that’s it - no micro-transactions, no spamming of ads even if you don’t buy the full game - great jobs guys, this game has a ton of charm to it and is a ton of fun to play - between this game and balatro, there does exist such a thing as fun and “worth it” paid mobile games

Just writing a review to counter all of the people (mostly kids) complaining that the game isn’t free. There are multiple games on the App Store where you have to unlock the full game by paying, or in some cases having a Netflix subscription, this isn’t anything new. The sad part is, I think this is the best possible format for premium games. You get to try it for free, and if you don’t enjoy it, at least you didn’t have to shell out any money for it. There’s a lot of entitled people who didn’t read the in app purchase section, and thought the full game was free. This is a port of a full fledged PC game. Very rarely is that going to be completely free. Apple should really make a category for games that have a one time purchase to unlock the full game, and make it so that people can’t review those types of games without purchasing them first. Otherwise they get review bombed like this one, even though their model is arguably the most fair way out there and should be praised for it, not ridiculed.
