About INK

About this game

INK is a fast-paced platformer about using colorful paint to uncover your surroundings.

INK has a similar feel to hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy. The object of each level is to defeat all of the enemies in the room (if any) and reach the goal. However, the terrain is invisible to the player. The player can discover terrain by physically bumping into it, or by performing a double jump. The double jump sprays paint bullets out of the player and increases the player’s awareness of their surroundings. If the player happens to bump into spikes or falls to their death, paint will also shoot out from the player’s last position. The room isn’t wiped clean after death so that the player has an easier time navigating after multiple attempts! This expanded Steam version includes new mechanics, Boss encounters to provide a nice challenge and a change of pace.

Key Features

  • 75 platforming levels to test your skills
  • Defeat challenging Bosses!
  • Jump on enemies to open the exit portal
  • Explore levels by painting them with your double jump or, well, dying. Death has never been so useful!
  • Experience the game’s tight and responsive controls that don’t make you feel cheated when you die

Unique platformer that's fun though not too difficult.

Pan Dimensional Being
The platforms are invisible. Now at first I had no idea what was happening. I'd gotten the game in a bundle and figured I'd just jump into it. I'm not one for rage games so I was worried that's what this would be, but really it's a lot more about timing and platforming. Also dying helps. And I do plenty of that. When you double jump your character shoots paint out in all directions that will stick to and color any walls, spikes, or platforms. So sometimes you jump into the distance, jump again mid air, then have to adjust trajectory to hit the newly found platform. The mechanics are unique and work well plus new features are added as you progress to add challenge. The bosses aren't too difficult, but are still a lot of fun. Plus there are a few added achievements that give it some replayability. My only complaint is that sometimes the ground feels unintentionally slippery, but it wasn't too bad or I wouldn't have kept playing. Any fan of platformers needs this game.
