Plok/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Accidental Innuendo: "I've been diddled again!"
  • Breather Level: Plok Town is arguably the easiest level on Akrillic, and it comes between two difficult boss fights.
    • Plok's House qualifies even more, as the only thing you need to do is squash a flea, before the dream.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: This soundtrack is considered by many to be awesome, and the best thing about the game by defender and detractor alike. It was composed by Tim and Geoff Follin (who apparently made a career out of composing soundtracks much better than the games for which they were written).
  • Ear Worm: Damn near the entire soundtrack. None of the songs will ever leave your head. And you'll never want them to.
  • Goddamned Bats: Shprouts. These puzzle enemies look like walking beanbags with hair and eyes. When Plok damages them, they will jump up in pain and look as if they got "electrocuted". To defeat them for good, Plok must hit them while they're "electrocuted". The main problem is that they do not stay "electrocuted" for long and will return to normal quickly. And they tend to come in large groups.
    • Even worse are "Shcuba Shield Shprouts". These guys have shields that make them immune to ANY frontal damage. To defeat these, Plok must jump first then launch his arm/leg out and hope it gets the Shprout from the back when the arm/leg returns. And you've got to do it TWICE in rapid succession.
  • Squick: The Fleas. It's no wonder Plok hates them so much, because the ugly Flea Queen defecated immense amounts of eggs and bluish slime all over Akrillic in the short time he was gone.
  • Surprise Difficulty: John and Ste later apologized for making it so difficult.
