Inkblade is a hand-drawn action roguelike played entirely with one thumb. You are a brushstroke given a blade: drag anywhere to move, stand still to strike. Every dodge, dash and slash is drawn in living ink across paper worlds inspired by sumi-e ink painting.

⚔ EASY TO PLAY, HARD TO MASTER
Move or attack — never both. Plant your feet and your blade fires at the nearest foe; drag and you become the dodge. One thumb controls everything: a floating joystick spawns wherever you touch, a DASH button (or quick tap) grants brief invulnerability. WASD + Space works on desktop too.

✒ A 12-TOME HAND-DRAWN SAGA
Fight through 96 pages across twelve cursed volumes — Sepia Catacombs, Crimson Caverns, the Midnight Codex, the Vermillion Deep and more. Each page is a hand-inked arena with random rooms, elites, events and traps. Re-run any page on Hard, Brutal, Nightmare or Inferno tiers for bigger rewards.

☠ 12 THREE-PHASE SOVEREIGNS
Every fifth page is ruled by a hand-inked boss with three escalating phases: the Blot King, the Nine-Tail Vermillion, the Calligrapher, the Ink Mother and the First Stroke among them. On the highest tiers they gain randomized affixes — no fight is ever memorized.

✧ 40+ BOONS & INK FUSIONS
Every cleared room offers a boon. Kindred boons fuse into powerful Ink Fusions — storm lances, comet falls, winter maws. Stack builds, break them, rebuild. Daily seeds and page omens (fog, bounty marks, glass hearts, vampire ink…) keep every run unpredictable.

⚒ SIX WEAPONS, SIX PHILOSOHIES
The trusty Ink Brush, Twin Fangs, Spirit Bow, Orbit Fans, the Thunder Scroll and the sweeping Vermillion Glaive — each with unique fire patterns, perks and weapon-specific projectiles. Unlock with gems, temper to level 5 with shards, and master their hidden perks.

☀ PLAY EVERY DAY
DAILY INK: one seeded gauntlet shared with the whole world — climb your local board and win +25 gems for the first clear of the day.
WEEKLY TRIAL: a fresh boss, tier and pacts every week. Endless Abyss: one life, unlimited depth, wardens every fourth floor. Boss Rush: all twelve sovereigns back to back.
