About This Game
An old scientist spilled a drop of enchanted ink into his experiment, and it stood up and looked at him. Ynky is a small, curious creature made entirely of that ink. Because ink is all she is, every shot she fires spends a little of her own body, leaving her smaller, lighter and closer to coming apart.
Run, double-jump, duck and fire through fifty pages of jungle, water and ruins while learning how to pull yourself back together after being splattered. As Ynky travels farther, she discovers that the world she escaped into is her creator's own book — and the unfinished parts are still waiting for someone to enter them.
