Peg Pop Match
Colored balls fall through a peg board and you need to land each one in a matching color slot — swipe to rotate the bottom row of slots to match.
Tap to drop a colored ball, swipe to rotate the slot bar at the bottom so the ball lands in its matching color for points, mismatches reduce combo.

Color-matching plinko hybrid, dressed in the same neon RNG unlocks and rare ball skins as the Plinko RNG itch.io hit.
