About this game

The world is ink. Your brush is the only colour.

Your runner never stops. You paint the path ahead: a vermilion bridge over a gap, an indigo current to ride, a stroke of gold to light the dark. Mix two inks and you get fire that burns brambles, jade bamboo that springs you skyward, or violet mist that hides you from watchers.

• 96 hand-made levels across 12 painted scrolls, in two books
• 11 guardians, each beaten with a different ink
• Brush time: hold still and the world slows so you can plan your stroke
• Daily Scroll: one course for everyone, every day
• Infinite Scroll: an endless run through the cycling seasons
• Race your own ghost, chase three stamps on every level
• 5 characters, scarves, brushes and seals, all earned by playing
• A haiku for every level, music that answers your brush
• Plays offline. No ads, no timers, no energy

Scrolls 1–3, the Daily Scroll and the prologue are free. One purchase opens the rest of the game: Scrolls 4–12, Book II and the Infinite Scroll.

Colour-blind ink symbols, reduced motion and a left-handed layout are in Settings.
