A short, free-to-play version of the fan favorite peg-based puzzle game featuring Valve-themed stages. An ideal experience for those looking to play every version of Peggle, Steam users who add every free game to their library, and people who don't want to wait for Peggle Deluxe to go on sale for a dollar.
two thoughts about this:
1. as absurd as the concept is this is probably genuinely the best introduction someone could have for Peggle, as it's basically a free 10-stage tutorial to show people who haven't played Peggle (in this case considering when the game came out, primarily FPS players who had Steam installed via The Orange Box and heard about this little puzzle game you could buy on there) the ropes to see if it's for them, it probably could have been improved a bit by having different masters and powers accompanying the TF2 and Portal sections, but considering this is just meant to be a short and free little thing I get why they didn't.
2. this is also the biggest piece of entirely sincere and not ironic crossover marketing that, at the same time, also feels the absolute most like a complete shitpost

being locked to super guide as your special really makes this undebabtably the worst peggle to actually play, but that's beside the point--this is a gaslight game. this is not a real fucking game. this is fucking made up. one of the backdrops is pyro burning jimmy lightning to death. i am aware i downloaded it from steam and played it to completion but there is simply no way an officially licensed game, where gman's face is plastered on the sun and the title screen shows the peggle unicorn turned into a headcrab zombie, actually exists
A really good, funny, quick time that I had no idea existed. Just a joyous collaboration between two massive companies because one liked the work of the other. Aside from Bjorn's sorry state on the cover there, they don't go too far with putting the cute Peggle Masters in peril, which I appreciated.
