Reviews
"A well-crafted puzzle adventure with innovative gameplay and plenty of heart"

"Plangman is the platforming version of hangman, and you can’t see me now but I'm giving that portmanteau a standing ovation."

"Plangman is billed as a game that 'blends hangman and platforming' but that doesn't do its weirdness justice."
– Game Informer

the soundtrack is such a vibe
Glad to hear it "resonated" with you.
infinite health bug. just reset then get star on level J.
When you reset, your health should also be reset to whatever it was when the level started. Are you seeing something different?
Thanks for playing!
a new update? though this game was done since i havent played since like 2020, amazing work my bro!
It's come a long way since you last played. I hope you enjoy the updates!
This is incredible. There's nothing else to say
Thanks so much.
