His previous Steam release was Death Noodle Delivery. In Splat Pachinko, the player is a giant-eyed alien chasing a kidnapped lover through turn-based battles, dropping eyeballs across a pachinko board that runs left to right rather than top to bottom. Points accumulated from hitting pins become attack power when an eyeball lands on the enemy planet at the right edge. Seven playable characters, over 100 eyeball types, and over 70 mutations create the synergy combos. Playing the demo earns an in-game limited item usable in both demo and full versions. The game targets release later this year on PC via Steam.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Pachinko roguelike Splat Pachinko gets a TGS 2026 demo booth at the Italy Pavilion in Hall 5, Sept 17-21.
