Attack of the Inkmites
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Your drawing ink has come to life. And it’s not happy!
Collect the falling ink to refill your cup before the Inkmites can drain it dry. Every drop you miss could spawn a little creature ready to attack your cup!
How to Play:
- Move the cup left and right with A/D or the arrow keys to catch falling ink drops.
- Click with the pen cursor to splat Inkmites before they reach your cup.
- Avoid letting Inkmites touch your cup. They’ll damage it and sometimes steal your ink!
Your Goal:
- Fill your cup to the top to win.
- If your cup’s HP reaches zero, the game ends.
Special Inkmite Types:
- Speed – Moves quickly toward you. (Blue)
- Attack – Hits harder than usual. (Red)
- Evasive – Dodges your mouse. (Green)
- Earthquake – Causes the ground to shake and drops all the ink on the ceiling. (Brown)
- Thief – Steals your ink. (Purple)

Install instructions
Imp!
The main.py file will always have more content than the exe files because it takes longer to compile and send, the exe files will have the last major release, and the main.py file will always have minor updates and tests, but everything will be stable unless otherwise specified
tldr; main.py will have beta, testing updates and the exe files will be major releases
Linux
You will have to run main.py for now until I can access a linux system to compile the code
Windows
- Download the ZIP file
- Right-click the downloaded ZIP and choose Extract All... (or use a tool like WinRAR, 7-Zip).
- Open the extracted folder.
- Double-click the
Mainfile to run the game. (It should be the .exe file) - The game may take from instant to about 1 minute to start.
Note: If Windows shows a security warning, click More info and then Run anyway to allow the game to start.
macOS
# macOS is pretty strict about the files you run so you may not be able to run the app and will have to resort to running the main.py file after installing pytmx and pygame
- Download the ZIP file
- Double-click the ZIP file to extract it (macOS built-in extractor will open the folder).
- Locate main in the extracted folder.
- Right-click (or Control-click) the app and select Open to launch it the first time.
- A warning may appear saying the app is from an unidentified developer—click Open to proceed.
- Subsequent launches can be done by double-clicking the app normally.

Very nice game. I would suggest making the cup hitbox for catching the ink wider and changing the screen shaking effect for catching the ink different from when you take damage, otherwise I think I am taking damage when I am actually catching the ink.
Congrats on your game submission, keep up the good work!
Thank You so much! I will keep this in mind as I am updating, although I did make it so that the shaking effect is different from catching effect I must not have made it distinct enough. :)
