Paplinko

I’ve been playing this hand for about 13 years now and I love it just as much as I did when I first started playing. Now, not much has changed since the beginning. There are less ads because of my belief that the creators having abandoned the game. Having said that though, this is still one of my most favorite digital games I’ve ever played. Worth the free download.

This is a great playing experience with great graphics and smooth, reliable interface. There hasn’t been an update for years. At that time, the big change was the wormhole/teleport special pegs when the ball could be directed based on the angle the ball went in. Was is a bummer that the daily awards had a double option if you watched an ad…that never had any ads to watch so you could never get the double? Meh. I personally didn’t mind at all. You still got a reward. But now they’ve decided to introduce ads? It’s a nuisance. It’s not by choice anymore. It’s now littered with ads. Not just 5 second videos or an image you can quickly exit out of, but full on 30 second ads. Even just opening the app triggers an ad. I’ve been playing this game for over 10 years *because* there weren’t any ads. I’m dreading when elections near when we’ll be flooded with political ads. I know it’s not worth keeping my daily streak going. The problem with that is once I take a break from a game, it’ll be months to years before I get back to it, if ever at all. Don’t make the mistake I made. Do not update this app.

This is a wonderful game, and a great way to pass the time. Paplinko is fun and engaging, and can be played for a long time without having to spend real-world money to get more balls to continue playing. HOWEVER...... The game lags, skips, and inevitably freezes. This is NOT an occasional issue, either. It happens to my game, on average, once every 15 minutes or so. This is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, and UNACCEPTABLE!!! In addition, every time the game freezes and has to be restarted, the arrangement of the pegs is completely different, whatever special pegs were there before the freeze are different, and the rewards in the cups at the bottom are different. Also, there will, without fail, be a slime at the bottom after the game is restarted, regardless of whether or not there was a slime there before the freeze. My final complaint is that the slimes now appear far too often, while the special pegs to combat them don't appear nearly often enough. Paplinko is a very entertaining and enjoyable game, and I would truly love to give it a 5-star rating. Unfortunately, due to these MAJOR issues, I cannot in good conscience give it anything higher than 3 stars. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, for the sake of Paplinko players and fans the world over... FIX IT!!!!!!!!!
