The player is able to create a companion, Blot, which follows their mouse, and can become platforms. They must control Blot while controlling their main character, Inky.

I would really like to beat the game but it is soo freaking hard for me. The acceleration and friction makes it even harder

Developer

Yeah the acceleration and friction need tuning for sure, I noticed that in testing after submission how hard it made it hahaha. Thanks for giving it a try though, I appreciate the feedback!

Was winning your game by combining the game mechanic as it is intended and - in some places - by using the "blot hack" Wysteria also found and mentioned in their comment.

To be honest, the combo felt pretty good - as if it was intended to be like this ;-) The "hack" isn't that easy to use, so it has its own challenge and doesn't fell that much of an exploit/glitch.

Well maybe in a full game version I will have Inky get the ability to become a flying carpet or somethin, it was definitely a surprisingly fun bug to play with hahaha

Cute characters! Great presentation, concept and mechanics. I see the vision for how the gameplay was supposed to function and I thought it worked really well and would have many uses. I also was able to magic carpet ride my ink blots through the level hah. Great job.

Developer

Thank you very much!

It was fun, but I wish controls were consitent: I thought I have to hold lmb and also rmb, which wasn't really working, but also if I press lmb and press rmb it breaks too

Developer

Yeah, one thing the game really needs is some snappier controls, and also a good tutorial to explicitly introduce them better. Thanks for the feedback!

What at cute little inkwell guy! Great concept and visuals. I found it hard to create platform while jump as the camera is moving during jump sadly.

Developer

Yeah that was something I wanted to work on if I had more time was better stabilizing the camera so it was easier to place platforms, and making them snappier. Thanks for the feedback!
