Plinker is a free online ball drop game where you release a ball from the top of the screen and watch it bounce through a packed grid of blocks, scoring points for every block it destroys. The physics feel satisfying, and each drop plays out differently depending on your angle and the upgrades you've collected along the way.

What keeps Plinker addictive is the upgrade system. After every turn, you pick one of two power-ups to boost your run — things that change how the ball behaves or how much damage it deals. Choosing the right upgrades at the right time is the difference between a decent score and a monster high score. There's no single best strategy, so you'll find yourself replaying rounds to test different upgrade paths and see how high you can push your score on the leaderboard.

Plinker is perfect for fans of brick breaker games, pachinko-style drop games, and casual high score chasers who want something easy to pick up but tough to master. If you enjoy free online block smashing games, ball bounce puzzles, or upgrade-based arcade games with no download required, Plinker delivers that quick-hit gameplay you're looking for. It's the kind of game you open for five minutes and close an hour later.
