Guide to the spiritual successor of Barkley : Shut up and Jam, Gaiden
 
Work in progress – game’s only been out for 2 days xd
 
 

The Basics – What am I looking at?

This is the fearless protagonist, Peglin.
 
 
This is a Crit Peg
 
Hitting it will make your ball deal Crit damage instead of Normal damage.
 
Crit Pegs will move to different positions every turn, but there will always be the same number of them.
 
 
This is the Refresh Peg
 
Hitting it will refresh all pegs on the screen, and convert a random peg on the board into a new Refresh Peg. Just like Crit Pegs, the number of Refresh Pegs on the screen should never change.
 
 
This is a Bomb
 
Hitting it once will light the fuse, and hitting it a second time will detonate the bomb, dealing 50 damage to all enemies currently on the screen. This damage will happen BEFORE your orb is fired down the line.
 
Detonating a bomb will also rapidly launch your ball away from the detonation.
 
Typically, bombs will be permanently removed once detonated and there’s no way to get more of them, however certain Orbs and Relics can change this.
 
 
This is a Red Bomb
 
Hitting it once will light the fuse, and hitting it a second time will detonate the bomb.
 
Red Bombs damage you for 4 health, and this damage is applied before orbs are thrown, just like normal Bombs.
 
They’ll only be encountered during Area 3 unless you have Sapper Sack.
 
 
 

The Basics – Gameplay Intro

The goal of Peglin is to make it through all 4 zones, and eliminate all enemies in your way en route.
 
The first step to doing this is understanding how to deal damage to enemies effectively.
 

 
 
This here is what a typical orb will look like, with the Normal damage and Crit damage listed, plus a description of the ball’s unique properties below.
 
 
As explained above, the ball will deal Normal damage unless it hits a Crit Peg, in which case the ball switches to its Critical damage value.
 
For balls like Daggorb, it’s important to recognize that you won’t be able to hit a Crit Peg every single shot, and you can right-click to discard it when you know it would be better to use something else.
 
This comes into play even more for some unique orbs like the Memorb, Echorb, Doctorb, EGG, etc – discarding is something you should be doing pretty often.
 
 
Frequently, you’ll be offered the chance to upgrade one of your Orbs, either through post-combat rewards or through a random event. Orbs can be upgraded to level 3, and in some cases change how they’re used fairly drastically as they’re levelled up. In the Orbs section, this is explained in some more detail.
 
 
When you’re aiming, you can also use the mouse wheel for precision control – this does not work if your mouse is not 100% stable while scrolling.
 
 
 

Orbs – Upgrades & Uses

Stone
 
Level 1 : 2 4
 
 
Level 2 : 3 7
 
 
Level 3 : 4 9
 
 
Stone is a slightly heavy orb that is incredibly consistent, but not in a good way.
 
There is always better options to add to your satchel, unless you’re doing a Orbelisk run.
 
 
Daggorb
 
Level 1 : 1 7
 
 
Level 2 : 1 10
 
 
Level 3 : 1 13
 
 
You start the game with one daggorb, and picking up more is never a bad thing. Landing critical hits is a cakewalk most of the time, and you can always discard it when it’s not viable.
 
 
Orbsium
 
Level 1 : 1 2
 
Dense, Triggers each hit peg 2 times, can target any enemy on the screen
 
 
Level 2 : 1 2
 
Denser, Triggers each hit peg 3 times, can target any enemy on the screen
 
 
Level 3 : 1 2
 
Densest, Triggers each hit peg 4 times, can target any enemy on the screen
 
 
Orbsium is a heavy orb that gets heavier every upgrade, so it won’t travel as far and won’t bounce as high. Despite this, it’s still very useful.
 
Orbsium is capable of detonating bombs in one hit at any level, since it triggers pegs multiple times.
 
Orbsium is also useful with the Eternal SufferRing or Swolorb, since it can hit a higher-damage peg multiple times. Additionally, if you get any damage modifiers like the Power Glove, Orbsium can become a powerhouse of an orb that’s useful for taking out high priority threats.
 
 
Infernorb
 
Level 1 : 3 5
 
Light, Detonates Bombs in one hit, Deals 2 damage to self when fired
 
 
Level 2 : 4 7
 
Light, Detonates Bombs in one hit, Deals 2 damage to self when fired
 
 
Infernorb does respectable damage, is good for clearing bombs, and holds momentum well with its Light modifier. The 2 self-damage on fire is barely even a downside, this orb is basically Stone if it were good.
 
 
EGG
 
Level 1 : 5 10
 
Heals instead of dealing damage
 
Shatters upon hitting a peg
 
Cannot be upgraded
 
 
EGG is an incredibly unique orb, which in the right scenario can be devestating to use.
 
It’s only found during the “Shake the Tree” event, and you won’t see this orb very often at all.
 
The trick to using EGG is that it only shatters on SOLID surfaces – firing it into slime can let you net an insane amount of health AND you get to keep the EGG if it doesn’t hit a solid peg, wall, or bouncer on its way off the screen. Mostly useful for getting some clutch HP during the Slime boss fight.
 
 
Orbelisk
 
Level 1: 0 0
 
Attacks all enemies in a column.
 
Gets +1/+2 for each Stone in your deck.
 
 
Level 2: 0 0
 
Attacks all enemies in a column.
 
Gets +1/+2 for each Stone in your deck.
 
Gets +1/+2 for each Bouldorb in your deck.
 
 
Level 3: 0 0
 
Attacks all enemies in a column.
 
Gets +1/+2 for each Stone in your deck.
 
Gets +1/+2 for each Bouldorb in your deck.
 
Gets +1/+2 for each Orbelisk in your deck.
 
 
Orbelisk can be found randomly, or during the Orbelisk event. It can be the highest damage orb in the game, and incredibly consistent if you have a few level 3 Orbelisks in your satchel. Unfortunately, it means you need to bog down your deck with a ton of Stones and Bouldorbs to do very well, so if you don’t have bonus discards or persists then this orb’s bonuses will be offset by the bad deck it requires to operate.
 
 
Darkness Eterball
 
Level 1: 2 4
 
Applies Blind 2 on hit (35% chance to miss for 2 turns)
 
 
Level 2: 3 7
 
Applies Blind 3 on hit (35% chance to miss for 3 turns)
 
 
Level 3: 4 9
 
Applies Blind 4 on hit (35% chance to miss for 4 turns)
 
 
Like most games, Peglin gives you a 100% chance of not taking damage from an enemy that you’ve killed – this is typically better than running Darkness Eterball. If you are seriously having a rough time keeping your HP up, running some healing orbs is infinitely more consistent and useful.
 
 
 

Orbs, Continued

Sildenafil

Crit Pegs also refresh the board.
 
This is a little better than Light Shaft Potion, since Crit Pegs move around and don’t have the ability to get “stuck” in an unfavorable position.

Start each battle with Confusion 4 – Your aim rotates quickly, but you can still control when the ball is fired.
