YOU OWE THE HOUSE

PEG DEBT is a Plinko roguelike about digging yourself out of a hole that only gets deeper. Drop balls through a peg field into multiplier buckets and scrape together each payment before your ball stock runs out. Miss one payment and the run is over.

The board fights back

Spikes line the walls and destroy your balls. Platforms slide through the peg field and shove balls off course. Portals teleport them across the board. The bucket multipliers won't even sit still. And every time you pay a debt, the whole board mutates.

Fall behind, and HE shows up

Run low on balls while short on the payment, and the Collector descends. A little hooded horror that chases your falling balls and eats them. Heavy balls are too much for him.

Sign contracts. Read the fine print

After every payment the house offers terms: cash now for an IOU that comes due later, no spikes for a bigger payment, double-or-nothing on the next debt. Ten contracts, all of them tempting, none of them kind.

Build your way out

18 stacking upgrades: golden balls, splitters, twin drops, ghost respawns, warp charges, hot-streak combos, interest on your savings, and more.

Controls: Aim with mouse or finger · click/tap the board to drop · spacebar also drops

This is an early prototype for a planned Steam release. Please leave your feedback below.
