Devolver Digital announced HYPERDROP, a pachinko roguelite developed by Dark Dark Goose, on August 17, 2026, and released a demo on Steam. Players build their own pachinko machine by placing gimmicks on pegs, aiming to hit target scores before balls run out. The demo covers stage 1; the full game is planned for 2027.
Devolver Digital announced HYPERDROP on August 17, 2026, and put a demo on Steam the same day. The game is a roguelite built around pachinko, developed by Dark Dark Goose. Instead of operating a handle, players drop a set number of balls from the top of the screen, starting with five.
The core loop is building your own machine. You place pegs on a board and choose from three types of gimmicks at random, each with effects like splitting balls, attracting them, or boosting score multipliers. The goal is to reach a target score before the balls run out, similar to score-inflation roguelites such as Balatro. Between stages, you can buy ball shapes and special abilities.
The demo only includes stage 1, but the full version is scheduled for release in 2027.
