The Ink Tower

The Ink Tower is a roguelike brawler built around parrying. When you parry an attack perfectly, the fight freezes, and you get 1.4 seconds and one stroke of ink. The stroke is your attack.

A straight line cuts through enemies and hits the first one hardest. A loop hits everyone inside it, and the more it holds, the harder it hits. Later you unlock a spiral that pulls enemies in and a figure eight that bursts where it crosses. Ink runs out fast, so most of the game is deciding where to spend it. A white flash warns you before every attack lands, unless the attack is red, which you have to dodge.

There are 15 floors, one life and eight bosses. Deep Dungeon Studio is making it in Godot for Windows, and the developer says the art isn't made with generative AI.
