i recommend ever one who sees this to play it, took my a bit of time and i was never bored playing it, i love the ending, and it go me thinking, i will say lvl 23 is a bit hard and i never understood how to do it correctly but i did finish it, some of the hints are a little hard to fully understand but guessing got me through. love the game really fun when playing and loved the ending
Pretty nice concept of word guessing, played hangman before and it's harder than I thought. Goes HARD.
So far, its been a pretty fun little brain teasing platformer and I do suggest people checking it out. But one thing that could be fixed is that when I wind up pausing the game, and then unpausing it, it causes my screen to black out and I have to close the game out and restart it before I can play again. Edit, 4/20/25: Since the newest patch, my issue has been resolved. Thank you!

Plangman, Apple II'den esinlenen bir adam asmaca platform oyunudur. Wheel of Fortune'un kelime tahminini alın, Lode Runner tarzı bulmaca platformunu karıştırın, bir metin macerasının hikaye anlatımını ekleyin, biraz fizik ekleyin ve işte karşınızda Plangman.
Great game and the developer is incredibly responsive too! It reminds me of a classic game called Jetpack with some of the levels and definitely scratches that nostalgia itch when I just want to play the game with my Steam Deck on the couch. Big fan of the work and looking forward to even more from the studio!
I really enjoyed this - it's really well polished for a free game.
Adorable little puzzle platformer.
Huh, what an interesting mix of ideas. You jump around solving simple movement-based puzzles, collecting letters to spell out a simple word related to the narrative. Graphics are cool (especially the letter explosion animation) and movement is tight and responsive, more so than many indie platformers that specifically focus on platforming lol Story is simple and wholesome, reading like a high schooler fan fiction. Even if none of this interest you, just play it for the phenomenal soundtrack.
Went into this on a lark, and was pleasantly surprised to find it much more mechanically complex than I'd been expecting. The core premise is already strong, but the creative use of physics and the dimensionality of the levels give it more depth. While I breezed through in an hour and was more than satisfied, I get the feeling that someone who was interested in 100-percenting every level would find even more hidden depths than I did.
This is a charming little game! I love the graphics and the gameplay is smooth. It mixes hangman with puzzle solving with a little bit of platforming thrown in as well. Definitely a unique experience with a surprisingly sweet narrative. I played about 50% of it in less than 30 mins.
