Games I grew up with.
Ideas I want to try.

I'm Kevin Mitchell. Tokidoki Studios is where I'm working on my own games, starting with a mix of pachinko and Space Invaders.

Roguelite demo v0.1.0 · In development

Pachinvaders.

Pachinko meets
Space Invaders,
flipped upside down.

Drop balls through a field of pegs to hit enemies climbing toward your core. Earn XP to pick cards during the run, survive nine waves and a boss, then use the credits from your score to unlock upgrades for next time.

Let me know how it plays. I'm working on the roguelite mode first. Enemy movement, the boss, and card balance still need work. If something feels off or an enemy gets stuck, leave a comment on itch.io.

Development update · October 6, 2026

What's changed
in v0.1.0

v0.1.0 is up for browser, Windows and Mac. I've been working through combat, cards and the things around a run that still felt rough.

  • Five worlds with different peg layouts, music and boss colors. The demo now ends after World 5.
  • Save & Quit lets you take a break and continue where you left off.
  • Enemies and the boss move to the music, with bigger bops on stronger beats.
  • Tougher enemies give more XP, with beefier hit effects. Explosion fragments now bounce off pegs.
  • More permanent cards, clearer descriptions and a cleaner reward screen.
  • Reworked Controls, Options, pause and results screens, plus menu music that fades in.

Each world is still nine waves and a boss. Enemy movement and card balance are still being worked on. Let me know how the later worlds feel, or if anything gets stuck.

About
Tokidoki Studios

I'm Kevin Mitchell, and Tokidoki Studios is the name I use for my game projects. I'm taking ideas from games I enjoy and seeing what I can make out of them.

Pachinvaders grew out of Cellular Barrage, a game-jam project. It's become the main thing I'm working on, with smaller experiments alongside it.
