Ink Left

Drawing to move

Ink Left is a minimalist black-and-white physics puzzle game for PC. You’re an unfinished stick figure on the last page of a sketchbook, trying to cross gaps and blank spaces to reach a distant light. Draw lines with the mouse: each one has weight and can tip, swing, or fall, so getting across means working out how a drawing will behave.

The game has seven kinds of lines, including bridges anchored at both ends, one-ended lines that act as drawbridges or seesaws, springs, ropes, floating platforms, weights, phase platforms, and weapons. Springs bounce you higher with each jump, ropes let you swing and release, and phase platforms can be passed through from below but stood on from above.
