How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
Theme: The game is a platformer where instead of jumping, you flip gravity to traverse the stage. You must travel above and under the stage to avoid hazards and reach the goal as fast as possible
Special Object: the pens around the map contribute to filling up your passively decreasing Ink Meter; if this meter reaches 0, the player will be KO'd. Collecting Ink Pens are very important; especially since taking damage or passing through ink blots will significantly decrease your ink meter; acting as both a health bar and timer.

Great game! I really loved it. The last stage is decently challenging but the by the time i beat it, i masted it(no spikes hit). It would've been cool if the lil blob painted the ground black too. But I suppose time was too short. Great nontheless
Love the visuals and esthetics !
A bit challenging but in a good way :)
Great game, I love the art and especially the sounds! :)
It would be interesting to see the blob become smaller and faster as he loses ink.
AW IF I HAD MORE TIME I WOULD'VE LOVED TO DO THAT!
I like that platformer!
It was really fun!! I tried so hard to beat the second level but I couldn't, maybe you should have added an easy mode but regardless it was really fun to play!
Glad you enjoyed it! I had a feeling some folks would find the second and third level difficult, because I got used to the controls over constant playtesting that I was able to beat the whole game within 25-35 seconds consistently lol. If I had more time I would've definitely been gentler on the difficulty scaling, or made an easy mode like you suggested!
Fun hectic platformer, love it!
