Planckman

Planckman is a grid-based game in which you move a growing and shrinking tail to collect pellets, avoid hitting the tail and pursue a high score.

Collect pellets

You begin as a block 10 units high at a random position on the grid, with a pellet spawning at a random location. Moving in a cardinal direction reduces your height by 1, while each previous position remains as part of your tail. A red pellet restores your height to 10; the previous tail continues to shrink by 1 with each movement until it reaches 0, while the new tail starts at 10. Yellow pellets increase your multiplier and the length of your tail. Avoid hitting your tail or running out of it, and collect as many pellets as you can.

Customise your game

The game saves your high score and displays it on the main screen. You can customise the controls, set the colours of PlanckMan and the food and multiplier pellets, and adjust the window size and save it as your preferred resolution. Options let you enable or disable fullscreen mode, glow effects, deep blacks and sound effects; RGB mode is also available.

Menus can be navigated with the Tab key or the keys assigned in the custom controls. The game is designed to accommodate players who use other devices or have limitations.
