Pin Pull Knockdown
Drag to yank a pin and topple a Rube Goldberg chain of stacked festival objects for one-tap satisfaction.
Each level is a precarious stack — pull the right pin, watch physics collapse everything in a domino wave.
Tap-and-hold a pin to pull, release to trigger — fully one-thumb.
Festival food stalls, lantern towers, and tent stacks ready to domino on a single pin pull.
Same Smash Fest! signal: players are chasing the 'one action, big chain collapse' dopamine hit.
The one-pull chain collapse is proven satisfying (Pull the Pin hit 100M+ downloads), but Smash Fest! is the EXACT same festival-themed chain-reaction hook and is already topping the App Store, so the pitch is no longer novel.Smash Fest!

Tap-and-hold a pin, release, watch physics — trivial one-thumb loop, no tutorial needed, physics engines and 3D asset packs make build very low-cost.
