In a normal game of pachinko, you control the speed of falling balls and try to get them into cups that award you points.
In Planet Pachinko, your character is inside of a giant pachinko machine and the balls explode when they hit you. If they fall into cups, they become enemies that attack you. You are awarded points (in the form of the interstellar currency called "Space Jelly") when you destroy the balls.

Combo Weapons! Grenades + Biplane = Bomber |
|
The balls fall from the opening at the top of the arena. If they hit your character you will take damage. Use your melee attacks and weapons to destroy the balls.
As they fall, balls will bounce off of pegs but not platforms. Your character can jump on the platforms but is unaffected by pegs. You will find that each weapon type interacts with pegs and platforms differently, and you should choose the best weapon depending on the layout of the arena.

Addictive Co-op Play |
|
When a ball falls into a cup (one of the brown gear boxes), the cup will reconstruct the ball into a robotic enemy. The enemy will jump from platform to platform and attack you. Your weapons and melee attacks will destroy the enemies. You do not get Space Jelly points for destroying enemies, so it's best to destroy the balls before they reach the cups.

Extreme Boss Fights |
|
If you spend too much time on one side of the arena, the turret trap system will activate. Weapons will fire along that side of the arena, so you will have to jump out of the way to avoid taking damage. These weapons will knock you around, and in some cases the same turret trap might hit you multiple times. If you stay on your toes and avoid staying in one spot, you can prevent the traps from activating.
