Plonky

Plonky is a physics platformer about a wobbly ragdoll hero. Each level is a row of traps to get past, and the way through usually involves pushing, pulling or lifting something. It suits players who like working out a route.

Winding it up

The hero is a ragdoll, so it flops and swings instead of moving like a stiff figure. The aim of each level is to reach the finish while the level tries to stop you with saws, crushers, explosives and spikes.

Most levels do not ask you to run past everything. Carts, blocks, switches and ropes are part of the level, and you push, pull, lift and swing them to get the hero across. Reading the room first saves attempts.

Before the first turn

Look over the whole screen before the first step. The traps named on Poki (saws, crushers, explosives, spikes) are part of the layout, not surprises.

Treat carts and blocks as tools. If a gap looks too wide, check whether something can be pushed or lifted into place.

Try the switches and ropes early, even if their purpose is not clear; the result tells you what the level expects.

Move in small steps near spikes. The ragdoll body swings, so a quick jump can carry further than planned.

Which toy for whom

Players who enjoy physics puzzles and do not mind repeating a short stretch. It also works for a quick break because a level is a self-contained room.

Small print

The wobbly body takes getting used to and can make precise jumps awkward at first.

Poki shows ads around the game on its own site.

Poki does not list a session length, so plan for levels to take as long as the puzzle takes.
