Plank - the classic ToySight game totally remixed in SteamPunk for the iPhone! No more aching arms, just tranquil to manic gameplay. Screenshotplank1hoz

Some Plank hints and tips

1) Watch the pressure gauge ! If the weight gets too much the plank will explode. Get rid of marbles as soon as you can if they're building up. Use a shake if you have to, but try and keep them for emergencies.

2) Verticals clear all the marbles in the column and diagonals clear all the marbles in the columns the cross, so build up verticals on top of odd marbles you want to clear and build up diagonals over a pile of marbles to get more points.

3) There is a points multiplier that gets set by scoring a vertical (x2) or diagonal (x4) and stays in place for your whole game. Score a diagonal as early as you can so you'll gain 4x the points ;)

4) Bombs clear a line just like shakes. So they can be handy if they appear when the pressure is getting high. If there aren't many marbles on screen though, letting the bomb land and drop a cluster of marbles can add to your score if you build up diagonals or verticals on them.

5) Try not to let the marbles get too wide on the plank. The more marbles there are across the plank, the more restricted a range of movement you have.

6) Don't let stacks of marbles get too high. It makes it tricky to get falling marbles down the side you want.

7) Remember you can always hit the pause button if someone wants to talk to you. If they do, remember to tell them to buy Plank!

8) If you have to quit a game, just hit Resume Game the next time you launch Plank to continue it.

9) Sometimes just tapping random panels can be fun ;)

10) Set the Sensitivity slider to suit your style of control. The lowest setting makes the plank move more slowly, but smoother, while the highest setting lets you turn the plank quickly, but is more twitchy.

All that effort I made to secure the secret panel with 12 bolts and it just fell appart with a couple of taps!

If it fails to launch when you first download, turn your phone on and off and it should fix everything

We will be doing a 1.1 update soon to address the occasional problem of the accelerometer sticking, in the meantime just restart the app and it usually fixes it.
