| Welcome! (devlog #1) | 2026-02-25 | Welcome to Pachinko Farm! 🌱Hi everyone! I’m Aziz, the solo developer behind Pachinko Farm, and I’d like to share a bit more about the game so you can get a better idea of what it’s all about.Pachinko Farm is an incremental game that blends the farming sim genre with pachinko-style mechanics. You change pins with plants, animals, buildings, and structures on the board. Then you drop a ball — and every hit helps your animals or plants grow. Once they’re ready, they yield their products on next hit by the ball.That’s the core loop! Think Peglin or Ballionaire, but with less roguelite and a much more incremental progression.I’ve been developing |
