The Ink Tower

Parry and draw

The Ink Tower is a PC action game built around parrying and drawing attacks with ink. Parry just before an enemy’s swing lands, marked by a white flash, and time nearly stops while you draw a stroke. A line hits one enemy hard; a loop damages everyone inside it, with more damage for each enemy caught. Ink runs out quickly, so you have to choose where to spend it. A mistimed parry leaves you taking the hit.

Floors and rooms

A run goes through 15 floors with one life. On each floor, you choose from three doors: a quieter, easier room, a dangerous room with an elite enemy and a better reward, or a middle option that sometimes asks for a price, such as permanently losing 12 max health. You can refuse that cost.
