Plastikke

Plastikke is a fictional material described in the "Lode Runner" video game series. It is presented as a synthetic substance used in the construction of the game's platforms and obstacles. In the game's narrative, plastikke is often depicted as something that can be mined or manipulated by the player character, or by the enemies. Its properties are exaggerated for gameplay purposes; for instance, it can be destroyed by drilling through it, causing it to crumble and disappear. This destruction often creates holes or pathways that the player can use to evade enemies or collect items. The concept of plastikke serves as a narrative device to explain the interactive elements of the game environment. It is not a real-world material, but rather an invention specific to the lore of the Lode Runner universe. The visual representation of plastikke in the game typically appears as solid blocks or platforms, with distinct textures to differentiate it from other game elements. Its role is crucial to the puzzle-solving and action mechanics that define the Lode Runner gameplay experience. The material's expendability and manipulability are key to the game's challenges and strategies.
