DESCRIPTION

Plok is an agreeable, though surprisingly challenging game that will appeal, at least to some degree, to fans of Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island. Armed with killer jumping abilities, the title character's preferred method of attack is to throw his arms and legs at the monsters, fleas, and other enemies. In addition to killing baddies, he must perform such tasks as trip switches, fly a spaceship, find eggs, and avoid spikes, logs, and other obstacles. There's much to like about this quirkily charming, cartoon-like game, including a special black-and-white level in which players control Plok's grandfather. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
