What is Ink Gremlin?
Ink Gremlin is a free browser arcade maze game where the walls are yours to draw. Blots chase you through each maze, and you can drag temporary ink walls to trap them for points or ignore them and race straight for the open exit. Ink runs out, so every wall is a decision: spend it to score, or save it to escape. The two strategies pull against each other, and the best runs mix both. Ink Gremlin is catalogued as TLG-13 on Shelf II of The Lost Games and plays on desktop or mobile.
Drawing is done by dragging with the mouse or a finger while ink flow holds, and movement is WASD or the arrow keys. On mobile the game adds an Ink-Flow assist: flick to move, draw while the flow lasts. Esc pauses and R restarts the level the moment a plan goes wrong.
Ink Gremlin sits at the front of Shelf II, and its shelf preview uses a full 1080p gameplay clip. It is filed as an Arcade Puzzle because the maze is the puzzle and the blots are the arcade: the same level plays completely differently depending on whether you decide to hunt or run.
