About The Game

Cult of Pin is a fresh twist on classic 90’s pinball games. This easy-to-play, difficult-to-master roguelike is inspired by titles such as Balatro and Hades, while being driven by nostalgia for classic pinball games like Pinball Dreams 2 and Windows 3D Pinball (Space Cadet).

Hand-drawn and stylised 3D visuals offer satisfying, tactile and addictive gameplay, combining the fast-paced action of old-school arcades with the strategic gameplay loop of modern roguelike games. Destroy every bumper by smashing your pinball off them until each one breaks, then take on Boss Bumpers - each with their own unique battle styles - to unlock upgrades which allow you to become even more powerful in the next stage. However, as you gain strength, the tables also become more challenging, so be sure to choose the most effective upgrades for each run.

Unlock new pinballs, each with a distinct design and specialised set of abilities. Build your deck and blast your way through a diverse range of tables as you string together upgrades, known as Glyphs and Blessings, to build explosive combos and cause a cacophony of chaos.
