It’s rated 17+ and currently has 724+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Paplinko Stand Out
Drop in some fun with PAPLINKO!
In PAPLINKO, the goal is to bounce balls into cups, collecting coins and prizes as you go along! It's not all just about collecting prizes though- bouncing off the pegs earns points and careful play will rack up your high score! The balls bounce off multiple pegs, each hit racking up points and changing the ball's path to the bottom. You can carefully aim and shoot each one, but the peg board is constantly shifting, so you'll have to rethink your strategy as you play! Hordes of special pegs shake things up, from bomb pegs to teleporter pegs! Use special multiplier pegs and bonus boxes to make that score grow and grow! Beware, prizes aren't the only things at the bottom- slimes will break your high score if you're not careful! Trade in all the coins you've collected to buy new backgrounds and ball characters to customize your game! Don't worry if you run out of balls, check back later and you'll have more available!
“Never before have bouncing balls been so hypnotizing!”
“More fun than Angry Birds!”
Fun is just a bounce away!
Features:
- Over 30 prizes to collect!

- Multiple puzzles to complete, with each puzzle set showing a different story!
- Over 25 achievements to complete!

It a fun game to play but like every body says ads ads an even more ads the only way to really enjoy the game without getting interrupted by ads is to turn of ur Wi-Fi.
We tested this kinda we didnt play all day we get on hit play drop 1 ball ad. Closed it repopened it ad did this 4 times or so. Lemme get into the game like more than 10 seconds Ill be deleting this game because of that.
Ive been playing this hand for about 13 years now and we love it just as much as we did when we first started playing. Now, not much has changed since the beginning. There are less ads because of our belief that the creators having abandoned the game. Having said that though, this is still one of our most favorite digital games Ive ever played. Worth the free download.
This is a great playing experience with great graphics and smooth, reliable interface. There hasnt 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 adthat never had any ads to watch so you could never get the double? Meh. We personally didnt mind at all. You still got a reward. But now theyve decided to introduce ads? Its a nuisance. Its not by choice anymore. Its 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. Ive been playing this game for over 10 years because there werent any ads. Im dreading when elections near when well be flooded with political ads. We know its not worth keeping our daily streak going. The problem with that is once we take a break from a game, itll be months to years before we get back to it, if ever at all. Dont make the mistake we made. Do not update this app.
No need to do what you are not doing do to upgrade your phone. Cant you just save your progress and have what you had before you purchased a new phone ? Just do a back up to save all games progress. Hope thats a better option. We were playing this game but havent for about a year its still in our settings going to start playing it again. Good luck from a coin dozer player.
It says we can watch a video to double our prizes but doesnt ever work.
We have had this app for a very long time and Ive enjoyed playing it since highschool. Thank you.
Love this game been playing since 2012 had to start over due to phone upgrades in 8years this would be our 5th phone upgrade bout upgrade in 3 months guess gonna restart again but its worth it.
We played this years ago when our daughter showed it to us. We recently found it again and we still love it.
Our favorite game! And Im 58 years old.
Once you start you will be addicted for hours.
This is a fun addicting game for all ages.
We love this game so much that we are obsessed with it its a fun game and we would recommend it to anyone of any age.
We love this game its alot of Fun.
We love this game. We have an iPhone 8+ and it keeps shutting down on us though. We dont know why. Maybe needs some bug fixes? Or is it our phone? Anyone.
Great game, but need more balls. We just run out of them to fast. Thanks, JB.
It's a fun little game when you only have a few minutes.
You read good it's actually says amazing.
The game is a good wait of our time.
Love playing this game. It's fun and relaxing. Easy to understand and we love how it does not cost money and you can still level up and get prizes !! Great for our 4 year old to pass when she really needs to be quiet.
We love the flow of the game play.
Great way to pass the time…addictive!!! Love it.
It's like angry birds on steroids.
Great game except when you need to get say 5 specials and they don't show up on the bottom but when you don't need them they show up like crazy.
Awesome no MONEY INVOLVED ! Thank you.
It's a great game, what else can we say.
We can't get enough of this game.
It's a great way to pass the time.
Can only say we love it, kids find it fun & we find it amusing & fun. Ya just want more balls to bounce. Lol.
Just a good shooting on the toilet game.
It's fun. Wish the balls would regen a little faster but overall it's fun.
We look for games that will consume our time & help pass it. This is definitely the game for that.
Some who have been to Japan would call this game the National Pastime! We love this game it has plenty of action and the balls fly all over. Great fun to play.
We LOVE wasting our time with this game.
This is an all around great game an fun to play at all times of the day :) LOVE IT.
What a great silly time killer. We're hooked.
We enjoy this game. We find we play it at least once a day. There are a few things that we feel they could improve but they are minor. Definitely worth playing.
Simple, yet just enough challenge.
It's the same principle as the coin pusher gam in the sense of rewards. :) we recommend it.
The green… Well thing is so annoying. We understand that it's supposed to make it "Fun". But it doesn't -_-.
It's the dang purple guy and the green guy! We'd like to request these bugs be removed from the game. It's frustrating trying get a great score on this game. We keep buying coins and playing and playing. Well we guess thats the point ;).
Extra fun and very addictive we got our girlfriend addicted.
No problems No complaints Just good clean fun! THANKS GUYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! One of our other favs is coin dozer! You guys rock thank you.
This is good for an offline game. We see it was updated 6 yrs ago. It works fine. Maybe its time to add some new things. That would just freshen up the game again. All in all a good game for kids and adults alike.
It needs more power-ups to deal with the slimes. Other than that, the game is fun and relaxing.
Coming soon… (Recommended.) 1. We love this game!!! We use this game everyday! But, soon, we think you should do a ball tracking lock (Last 2:30), a double everything good (Last 1:18), and a multiplier lock (Last 3:30) power boost. (Use 1/3 or all) What will you use? Please let us find out in the update because its been like this forever since Ive started playing this! Either way, we still love that game you made! We think its really easy to make in life, but its actually hard! We also think you should add more pegs like a extra ball peg, a PB peg, a +1 peg and a one coin peg. Please fix 2. We had a multiplier of 60.0. And the pink slime came up and took it all away and reset it to 1.0! Please put it back where the pink slime only takes a 1/2 or 3/4 (1/4 of your multiplier wouldnt be correct.) Wait wait wait! In our older review (which this review contains) we didnt want to do that. But please only put it like that for about a week. Then you can add the powers for Paplinko bucks. Whats the point in locking?! 3. Whats the point in locking? We found out the mystery! And the mystery about this game is that when you get into a slime for the first time in the duration; for example, we had a multiplier of 10.5, we got all the way up to 25.5- then we got a slime. It goes back down to 10.5! So whats the point in locking? Same with the green slime! We were annoyed by this. (On this title) 4. Later And here we are checking our review at 4:45 AM and we were a week ago, now but all of the sudden: but no, not anymore! Im in 271st place now. Whyd you do that, Game Circus? Let us know in your response if youd wanna respond. Or not! 4-reviews in 1 bonus notice: Hey, by the way- so why we store our reviews in this review? We stored all reviews in this review because this was good (almost bad) out of the top helpful (featured in review trailer) review on Paplinko.
Can you please update this game. We used to play this in like 2012-2013 and Ive gotten it again and it hasnt had an update for 2+ years.
This is a fun game to play that does not require real world money to play. The only small draw back is the time it takes to earn balls to play when game is closed.
Honestly it freezes a lot and there are more ads than ever. Also our "free balls" option doesn't even work. Please fix this.
