    INK is a stripped down variant of Super Meat Boy with a twist. When a new level is first entered the player has little to no knowledge of the layout and must move and double jump (which spatters some ink) to reveal the environment. Unlike Super Meat Boy, however, the controls are less forgiving and the player doesn't always feel as if they are in complete control.

Unlike Super Meat Boy, however, the controls are less forgiving and the player doesn't always feel as if they are in complete control. This seems to add some difficulty which leaves the player at times feeling that their failure isn't entirely due to their ability, but some variant of luck as well. Due to the lower price compared with other games of this genre on the switch I feel that this game is worth a try if you are interested in these types of games.… Expand

    It's a 2d platformer with unique twist. You start of with an almost invisible level and as you progress you start splattering paint using the jump mechanic revealing your pathway. It's simple enough but it turns quite challenging. If you like supermeat boy you will enjoy this game. It's has a total of 75 level's each with it's own challenge with excellent music an color schemes. I reallyIt's a 2d platformer with unique twist.

    The bright splashes of paint really stand out against the black background, and they give the game a look and feel that make it seem like a relic from the early ‘90s. The gameplay, however, is of a much more modern vintage — and, unfortunately, it doesn’t compare well to its contemporaries. INK may be more visually appealing than its competition, but it doesn’t play nearly as well.

    INK is a highly enjoyable platformer with a strong core mechanic of inking platforms in order to progress. Sadly, there's just not enough of it, and most players will breeze through it in just a few hours.

    Replace the blood and brutality of Super Meat Boy with paint, add invisible levels and marginally tone down the difficulty, and what you have is INK. The practical use of the featured art style is a novel idea, but somehow the title still lacks a distinctive sense of character - even with all the vivid colours on display. What’s left is a streamlined but more basic fast-paced platform game that does a competent job recreating the same types of experiences we’ve seen in the past, requiring twitch-like reflexes and pinpoint accuracy.
