Rodent and Plank: Secret Origin

A cosmic plank turns a rat into a gun-blasting 90s mascot in a world packed with fairy tale monsters and reality-shifting mayhem. Fuse weapons, wreck everything, and try to figure out what on earth is going on. It’s weird, it’s loud, and it does not slow down.

About the Game

A rat. A plank. And absolutely no idea what’s going on. One moment Rodent is running for cover, the next he’s a hot pink, gun-toting force of nature with a weapon that fuses fire, lasers, and explosives. Now everyone wants Plank back, especially a group of storybook knights carrying strange orbs and even stranger intentions. The deeper Rodent goes, the weirder things get, and it’s becoming clear that Plank is a lot more than just a piece of wood.

 

 

 
 

Build wild weapons. Wreck everything. When that’s not enough, throw a grenade or drop a screen-clearing blast that leaves nothing standing. No subtlety, all boom.

  

 

Rodent and Plank doesn’t repeat itself. Every level shifts the rules with new mechanics, strange enemies, and wild set pieces. One minute you're piloting a submarine through hostile waters. The next, you're falling into the mouth of something enormous and angry. It never lets you get comfortable.

 

 

Rodent and Plank’s soundtrack blends electronic beats with gritty textures to create something strange and unforgettable. It drives the action, shapes the atmosphere, and gives every moment a pulse. From big boss fights to eerie calm, the music keeps the world alive and buzzing.

 

 

Rodent and Plank plays hard, but it plays fair. You’ll feel every dodge and every mistake. If that’s not your thing, no problem. You can turn the difficulty up, down, or sideways. How much punishment you take is entirely up to you.
