Running Ink Walkthrough

Running Ink is a stickman game with simple graphics, but amazing gameplay. Running Ink also features simple controls, a breathtaking soundtrack, and eighteen levels.

The objective of Running Ink is to make it to the goal in each level within three minutes. In order to do this, you will have to manage your speed, perform wall jumps and other tricks, and choose the right paths. There are eighteen levels in all in this stick game and your progress is automatically saved, so you may return to the action from where you left off.

Running Ink uses the keyboard as its control device. As you progress through the various levels, you will be able to learn new tricks by reading the writing on the wall, so we will only discuss the basics here. The left and right arrow keys are used to run left and right respectively. The spacebar is used to jump. You can also perform wall jumps by running up to a wall and jumping off of it.

To be successful in Running Ink, you must manage your speed carefully. As you continue running by holding down one of the arrow keys, the speed bar in the upper-left corner of the screen will increase. It is often good to build up speed before performing tricks like wall jumps in order to successfully execute the maneuver. Be careful though because when the speed bar becomes red, you will splatter if you run into a wall, ending the level (and your character's life!).

Each stage in Running Ink has its own "A+" time. You will be greatly rewarded if you manage to beat this time. It may not be possible to beat this time if you stop to read text, take alternate paths, or perform tricks, however. Luckily, you can replay a level to try to improve your score or you may press the R key at any time to restart the level that you are currently playing.

Running Ink is a stick game that offers fast-paced fun. You can speed through Running Ink is you want to, or you can take your time to explore all that this stick figure game has to offer!
