This week we cover the goofy plinko-style roguelite Nubby's Number Factory and add it to the tier list. We poke around MogDogBlog and relish being done with Survivors September!

On this episode we dive deep into Nubby's Number Factory, a cleverly made plinko-style game in an early 2000's flash wrapper. There's some clever mechanics under the hood here, like pegs scaling numerically and items/perks combining to legitimately make some cool builds.
Nubby's isn't the deepest game but it is good, simple fun. It embodies a lot of the things we really love about this genre: a tight core gameplay loop with replayability coming from unique builds that let you feel smart when you crack them. Each run feels a bit long and the metagame didn't entirely click with either of us but we both had a good time pushing for a W and for a game like this, that is plenty good enough.
