About This Game

PlanckMan - The Retro game That Never Was

If you go back in time to the 1980s, there was usually a trend where a popular game would be released and spinoffs from other companies would come along and attempt to provide a unique take on that formula.

Pong, had many clones.

Pac-Man was duplicated so many times.

Space Invaders.. had so many different versions.

But Snake? SNAKE?

Welcome to PlanckMan, a game where a unique spin is provided on a classic formula. 

Start as a block 10 units high, random position in a grid, a random pellet spawns. As you move (cardinal directions), each movement reduces your height by 1, but your previous placement is persistent. You lose your tail at 0. Obtaining a pellet resizes your height to 10. Your previous tail continues to diminish at a rate of 1 per movement until lost at 0, but the new tail resumes at 10. Do not hit your tail. Do not run out of tail. Eat as many pellets as possible. Get high score. Yellow pellets increase your multiplier, but also the length of your tail.
