Plok is set in a fantasy world where the main character, Plok , lives on an island. One day, he wakes up to find out that his flag has been stolen and decides to travel to a neighboring island to get it back.
As Plok journeys through various levels, he encounters numerous challenges such as fighting enemies, finding exits, and fulfilling specific missions like killing a certain number of fleas. Plok can perform two different types of jumps: a normal jump and a higher spinning jump. He can also throw his limbs at enemies to attack them. Collecting presents grants him temporary access to different weapons or transforms him into vehicles like a helicopter or a UFO.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
*Plok!* is a side-scrolling platforming game set in the colorful archipelago of Poly-Esta, where the eccentric protagonist Plok embarks on a quest to retrieve his beloved stolen flag from Cotton Island. Players control Plok as he travels across diverse islands, navigating treacherous terrain ranging from soft fabric landscapes to craggy cliffs and deep forests. Along the way, players must confront various local inhabitants and uncover a deeper mystery threatening Plok's homeland.
Story
The Story
Everyone knows that Plok is simply crazy about flags. He has them everywhere, using them to mark out which parts of Akrillic he thinks belong to him. His flags are all over the place!
Plok has a particular favorite flag, a big square one with a picture of himself on it. He keeps this special flag on top of his own house so that he can see it every day when he gets up and every night when he returns from a hard day of being Plok.
Somebody has stolen his special flag and placed it on nearby Cotton Island. As you can imagine, Plok is hopping mad about this. First thing this morning he set off in his boat to retrieve his property.
But knowing Plok, he's not gonna leave it at that. Anyway, that's the story so far, but there may be more to this business than meets the eye...
A Tour of Poly-Esta
Plok's world is the breathtaking archipelago of Poly-Esta, located in the Meridian Sea. Let's take a quick tour of some of the more interesting locations...
Cotton Island
•
A picturesque island to the west of Akrillic, where everything is made of soft fabrics.
•
There are only a few local inhabitants and so far nobody (not even Plok) has claimed sovereignty over this small domain.
•
Cotton Island is famous throughout Poly-Esta for its beautiful sunsets.
Akrillic
•
This is Plok's homeland and the biggest island of Poly-Esta.
•
Akrillic has many inhabitants both large and small, with the Penkinos, Womack Spider, and Rockyfella being the most notable.
•
The countryside ranges from sandy beaches through deep shady forests to craggy cliffs and caves.
•
The only blot on this beautiful landscape is the highly built-up Plok Town.
•
Plok recently proclaimed himself king of the island, although whether anyone took any notice of this is another matter.
Legacy Island
•
This is a long-deserted island to the north of Akrillic.
•
In years gone by, this was the site of Grand Pappy Plok's great quest for the Lost Amulet.
•
After many fruitless years, Grand Pappy Plok returned empty-handed.
•
The Amulet is rumored to still be buried on Legacy Island.
The Fleapit
•
Who knows what lurks in the underground home of the Fleas?
•
Nobody, that's who! No one has ever been stupid enough to go down there!
Enemies & Characters
FLEA EGGS
Harmless eggs set in blue gunge that hatch into bug-eyed Fleas after a minute. Shooting them makes them hatch quicker so Plok can blast them immediately.
ADULT FLEAS
Jittery, hopping bugs that are the most terrible beasts in Poly-Esta. They require three hits to defeat, turning greener with each hit, and will try to jump on Plok's head.
SUPER FLEAS
Powerful Flea types guarding the Flea Queen in her underground lair, including flying mutant Fleas, slime-spitting super Fleas, and tough sentry Fleas.
GERSHWIN
A crazy kid from Cotton Island who hops until he drops. Two punches will knock him out for good.
GIBSON
A metal fish scared of getting rusty who tries to spend as much time as possible above water. Plok's ordinary limbs cannot damage him, so it is best to stay out of his way.
THE SHPROUTS
Short, fat guys who make up the main indigenous population of Poly-Esta. They come in several varieties but will always fall for the old one-two punch.
SHPROUTS
A variety of Shprout that can be sorted out with two shots.
SHIELD SHPROUTS
A variety of Shprout that must be shot twice from behind.
SHCUBA SHPROUTS
These Shprouts jump in fright when hit once, and must be shot again before they fall down.
SHKY SHPROUTS
These Shprouts fall down from parachutes.
SHCUBA SHIELD SHPROUTS
These Shprouts are only frightened if you get them from behind.
SHKY SHIELD SHPROUTS
The toughest Shprouts of all.
ORSON
A shy creature who tries to frighten Plok away. Hitting him once makes him play dead, allowing Plok to hop on and hitch a free ride.
JIVE HIVE
A rocking party place that Plok should not go near unless he really means business.
FUNKY B.
Small characters who party in the JIVE HIVE and hate gatecrashers. They can really give Plok a run for his money.
BIG BUDD
A giant, lazy flower who is very tough to defeat and gets in a bad mood if awakened. He releases BUDD LITES to fight his battles for him.
BUDD LITE
A young flower immune to Plok's limbs that loves to spit seeds at Plok.
FROGROSE
A distant cousin of the BUDD flowers, usually found in the wetlands of Akrillic.
HATTERSLY
A thoroughly rude character who will spit on Plok if he comes near. A quick punch will scare him away for a while.
LILY MACE
A gentle giant of solid rock who floats around the islands and wants to be near Plok. Although she means no harm, her spikes are deadly to the touch.
BOBBINS BROTHERS
Milton and Marshall are failed circus acrobats who now roam the islands of Poly-Esta as thugs for hire. They are rumored to be in league with the Flea Queen.
PENKINOS
A tribe of inflatable magicians living in the north of Akrillic who cannot be hurt when fully inflated. Something sharp should be used to bring them down to earth.
WOMACK SPIDER
A real cool dude who lives right in the center of Akrillic and won't let Plok past without a fight. His spindly spider legs are definitely his weak point.
ROCKYFELLA
The spirit of the very soil of Akrillic who can pop out of the ground wherever he likes. He is out for revenge against Plok and resides in the mountains in the southeast.
THE FLEA QUEEN
Nobody has ever set eyes on the supreme Flea, but you can bet your last shell she's going to be ugly.
FLEA GUNGE
This disgusting, sticky blue mess is left behind wherever the loathsome Flea Queen has laid her eggs. Some blobs can be shot away while playing, making Plok's route easier.
LOGS, ROCKS AND PEBBLES
These are liable to fall from a great height at any point. Plok's limbs are useless against any of these, so jumping is the only defense.
SPIKY DOORWAYS
These are spinning death traps that should be approached with extreme caution.
SPIKES & BARBED WIRE
These are deadly to the touch, and usually surround an area that somebody wants to keep Plok out of. You can walk on these for a short time when you pick up a force field.
RINGERS
All kinds of junk and rubbish left by Plok's arch-enemies to fool him into thinking he's found what he's looking for.

How to Play
Plokontinue System
At the start of a new game, Plok has no continues available. When all spare lives are used up the game is over. During the course of the game, Plok can earn several continues, which allow the game to continue from specified points when all lives are lost.
P-L-O-K Tokens
One P-L-O-K token is awarded when the player plays a new level from the beginning to the flag at the end without losing a life. As soon as a life is lost, no P-L-O-K token can be earned on that level in the current game.
When the fourth token is collected and the word PLOK is lit up at the top of the screen, a Plokontinue is awarded on the current level. This will be visible on the map screen as four tiny spinning P-L-O-K tokens hovering over the level where the Plokontinue was earned.
Now when the player loses all remaining lives, instead of Game Over, the game will return to the level where the last Plokontinue was earned. The score will be reset to its previous value, and play will begin again with three lives.
Several Plokontinue points can be earned in one game. At Game Over, Plok will restart at the place where the last Plokontinue was earned.
Permanent Continue Positions
A few key positions in the game have been designated 'Permanent Continue Positions'. These are after either the Bobbins Bros. or Rockyfella have been defeated.
Once a player has reached one of these positions, every new game started will begin at this position, so the earlier levels will not have to be played through again and again. This position will be remembered even if the Reset button is pressed.
To play the game again from the beginning after a 'Permanent Continue Position' has been reached, the Power switch should be switched off for a few seconds.
Level Descriptions
•
Cotton Island: Each section of Cotton Island is completed by reaching the end and running up the flag at the flagpole. This may not be as straightforward as it seems.
•
Akrillic: All parts of Akrillic have been populated by pesky fleas. To complete these sections, Plok must defeat every flea. The last flea defeated will give up Plok's flag and it will then float to the flagpole. If Plok gets to the flagpole before all the fleas have been overthrown, their flag will still be flying. If Plok gets lost, an arrow will appear pointing towards the nearest flea or to the flagpole.
•
Legacy Island: Each section of Legacy island is completed by reaching the end and digging at the mound. Valuables may be hidden there, but maybe not.
•
Boss Levels: These short levels usually contain one large enemy who must be defeated. When beaten, the Boss will drop Plok's flag, which will then float to the flagpole.
•
Fleapit Levels: Each cavern of the Fleapit is played as a race to the final archway, with a big bonus for Plok waiting there. Each level is one step nearer to the Flea Queen.
•
Secret Bonus Levels: These levels (if you can find them) are a race against time. The idea is to reach the end before a digital timer counts down to zero. This can be very difficult, but there is a special reward for completing this challenge.
Items & Weapons
LIMBS
Plok's main weapon, consisting of his four limbs. Firing them all at once will leave him with a pain in the posterior.
TARGETS
Objects that must be hit in the center by one of Plok's limbs to trigger a change in the landscape. The limb that hits the target will be left on the nearest hanger.
HANGERS
Usually found near a target, these serve as a collecting point for any limbs that have been fired at the target.
FLAGS
Pennant flags featuring the face of the level's owner, which float back to the flagpole once the last Flea is defeated. Impostor flags can be collected for extra energy.
SHELLS
The most valuable items on Poly-Esta that give points, power Plok's Amulet, and award an extra life when the shell counter is filled.
SPEED BLADE
An item that turns Plok into an indestructible spinning ball of steel, whizzing across the islands at breakneck speeds for a few seconds.
FORCE FIELD GEMS
Magic gems that give Plok an invisible force field for a few brief seconds.
SURPRISE GIFTS
Gifts left by a mysterious admirer that usually contain a costume or a vehicle to help Plok past tricky situations.
MAGIC FRUIT
Fruits that restore energy and grow bigger when shot, though shooting them too many times may lead to unexpected results.
GOLDEN FRUIT
Very rare, full-sized fruits that always fill Plok's energy level to the maximum.
THE LOST AMULET
An ancient heirloom powered by shells that, when activated, allows the wearer to fight like a whirling tornado until the shells run out.
SAFETY CRADLES
Floating platforms complete with a handy safety rail that carry Plok over dangerous gaps.
AUTO CRADLES
Rotating platforms fixed to a central cog used for reaching high ledges, some of which must be hit with fist punches to start moving.
BUDDY HORNETS
Friendly bugs found in nests that buzz around Plok's head and can be sent out as humming missiles to attack nearby enemies.
SQUARE HEADS
Strange half-vegetable, half-mineral creatures that might help Plok out if he jumps on their heads a few times.
UNICYCLE
A beginner-friendly vehicle with unique advantages for the ecologically-minded user, equipped with a free water cannon.
OFF-ROAD TRUCK
A four-wheel-drive vehicle built for tough terrain that offers speed, comfort, and an army surplus rocket launcher.
JETPACK
A prototype flying machine that offers a hair-raising ride and comes equipped with a powerful laser.
MOTORBIKE
A fast and mean radical machine that is the quickest vehicle on Akrillic, allowing Plok to throw grenades at enemies.
HELIOCPTER
The only choice when it comes to air-to-ground combat, this baby is totally maneuverable in the tightest situations, and will drop bombs on anybody from a great height.
TANK
This is for those of you who really mean business! An unstoppable monster machine that nobody is going to argue with. What this thing lacks in speed, it makes up for in power.
UFO
For a limited period only, and at great expense, we have this totally alien, highly unlikely flying machine. Equipped with plasma cannons and fashionable deeley-boppers, this gadget will save you from a close encounter with doom.
SECRET SUPER-VEHICLE
The very latest in high-tech sophistication and modern battle armor technology has been utilized in this no-expense-spared weapon of the future to help Plok defeat the evil Flea Queen.
Tips & Maps
Fired limbs
Fired limbs come back instantly when they hit a baddie, but float back slowly when they miss, so try to make every punch hit.
Somersault jump
Plok cannot fire in a somersault jump, but can jump much higher than an ordinary jump.
Lower jump
Pushing the Control Pad down at the same time as the Jump button gives Plok a lower jump.
Fast landing
Pushing the Control Pad down during a jump brings Plok back to the ground much faster.
No limbs
When Plok has no limbs, he bounces constantly, being very difficult to control, which should be avoided if at all possible.
Buddy hornets
Buddy hornets only last for a short time, so don't release them when there are no enemies around.
Power-up costume
When Plok is short of limbs, a power-up costume will bring them all back if there is one lying around.
