Plonk

The controls or TL;DR

In menu:

  • Z/C = confirm, open menu
  • X/V = cancel, close menu

In game:

  • Z/C = slide
  • X/V = melee/ranged attack

The lore

Plonk's mission in life is destroying tea parties all over the globe (don't ask why, some things are better left unexplained), and this has often gotten him into trouble. Today he has incurred the wrath of The Lady In Orange by thoroughly ruining her tea party. How they ended up on this ice sheet (especially since Plonk cannot swim)? We don't know. What we do know, The Lady In Orange is having none of it, and Plonk has to fight for his life!

The menu

Besides starting the game, you can change the following settings in the menu:

  • Music on/off: not sure why you'd want to turn Plonk's Theme off, but you can do it here
  • Mode: the following modes or difficulty levels are available:
    Normal: intended difficulty
    Hard: the boss has more health, and adds overlapping attacks in phase 2
    Baby: baby Plonk moves a lot slower, but had a lot more energy compared to today's Plonk
  • Color: choose Plonk's color. Colors are unlocked via the shop, by spending coins
  • Shop: go to the shop and spend those coins

There's separate highscore lists for each difficulty level. They are shown at the bottom of the title screen, and update when you change mode.

The gameplay

There's a couple of things Plonk can do:

  • Run: watch the little guy go!
  • Slide: sliding consumes stamina (the yellow bar), which regenerates slowly over time. During a slide, Plonk is invincible; the power of sliding!
  • Melee attack: Plonk always carries a fish around to slap eventual adversaries, it will even slap fireballs out of mid-air!
  • Ranged attack: Plonk can pick up snowballs, which he can yeet at the boss from a safe distance

The current weapon is shown in the top right corner, as is the number of snowballs Plonk carries at the moment. During the fight, different types of pick ups will spawn, which will disappear after a while, if not picked up:

  • Snowball: each picked up snowball will give Plonk a stack of 5 snowballs to throw at the boss
  • Cherry: a cherry restores a bit of Plonk's health
  • Coin: can be used in the shop

Victory/defeat

After the fight ends, the victory or defeat screen is shown. A victory earns Plonk three coins.
