Ball or Nothing

Idle machine building

Ball or Nothing is a PC idle game about building a machine that generates money by dropping balls through pegs and into multiplier buckets. The balls fall automatically, but you decide where to place the parts, so the board layout determines their paths and scores. You start with five empty slots, one ×1 bucket, and a ball arriving every few seconds. Place a peg and it changes the route of the next ball.

Expanding the board

You can upgrade pegs, widen the board, add rows, and unlock extra dispensers. Expanding sideways adds buckets and dispensers; expanding downwards adds more scoring pegs. As the machine grows, a trickle of balls can become a steady stream through a larger board. The largest stated layout has 7,728 slots, with up to 25 buckets and 18 extra dispensers. Buckets can be worth up to ×10.
