    Inspired by both modern and old school shooters and from the developers behind Midnight Deluxe, InkSplosion is an arcade delight that is simple to learn, yet hard to master, thanks to endless levels that are decorated only by your colorful ammunition.

    Should you rise to the challenge and emerge experience, it only means it is time to bid "farewell" to Normal mode and say "hello" to Arena and Hard, 2 brutal modes that would offer even the most gung-ho of players a worthy conquest!

    Once you start playing, it becomes really hard to stop!

    Features:
    3 Game Modes (Normal, Arena & Hard)
    Endless Levels
    5 Different Weapon Types
    In-game achievements
    Original Soundtrack by Levi Bond

    InkSplosion may have accessible and responsive controls, as well as a visually appealing environment, but that's about it. There is a lot more variety within the shoot'em up genre to choose from and Inksplosion gets dull and repetitive way too quickly, with its bland soundtrack and lack of new, stimulating elements.

    This is a fine classic game for its low cost. The visuals and splat paint style gives the game a punk-ish style that keeps it feeling fresh. However, the main issue I have with recommending it is the frequent lag that occurs at the beginning of the levels. Hopefully, this is a situation that can be fixed in the future, but for now, let's leave the ink guns to the squids.

    InkSplosion could have been so much more, but it’s ultimately let down by a sheer lack of variety (and a frustrating lack of replay value once you've swiftly bagged all of its in-game achievements). As a top-down shooter it's certainly competent, but it’s unlikely you’ll hang around for long with so many other fuller packages on offer on the Switch eShop.

    Inksplosion is an entirely mediocre experience that fails to stand out amongst stronger titles in the arcade shooter genre. Pretty colours do little to distract from its boring, repetitive gameplay.
