Fun little arcade game. Went into a corner and spawned so many enemies the game crashed 10/10
- very enjoyable game mechanic
- easy to understand
- unique take on the theme
- music was too loud for me
- you can just go up into this spot and keep farming (unless you do not pay attention for a second and get hit by one of the bouncy ball fishies)

Very nice, its playable and fun, for 2 weeks that's a big victory
Nice tight, replayable loop. Really well done.
I like this game! I really like the mechanics of painting monsters into a different color. And I was also delighted with the art style!
I really loved this game, movement was great! I immediately found a way to cheese it though. You can dig yourself into the bottom hole and keep jetting yourself into the wall and basically be invincible. I got to close to $60k before it lagged out and didn’t let me ink anymore. Some type of enemy that circles the wall to prevent this probably would prevent this. Great game! Also, the title is the absolute best
Really enjoyed this. Love the art, the music sounds like a SNES Mario Kart rom hack (That's a compliment), liked the gameplay, very tight for what it is and given the restrictions. Great work!
Top score 16k. Corner strat ftw.
I like the movement, it's perfect for a squid character
Epic game! MY top score was 490$
Cool game! Interesting mechanic combining movement and shooting. My usual tactic of cowering in a corner seemed to work quite well in this one :)
