INKMAN - a 2d platformer for PC (XNA)
Inkman's creator has writer's block, and fears selling out his masterpiece. So what's a budding comics superstar to do but take matters into his own hands?
This 2D platformer innovates with the Character maneuvering on their own, and the Player having to create and destroy the platforms needed to survive and win. Use your pen and ink skills to steer Inkman toward the goal, erasing enemy Inkblots and collecting their ink, and avoiding what arch-nemesis, The Mass, has in store for you.

- The pen creates platforms and turns Inkman's direction. An eraser attacks enemies and destroys platforms.
- The arch-villain, The Mass, appears, laughs (a la Mortal Kombat), and makes it rain enemies.
- A mid-game variation where a 'dark Inkman' appears and makes things difficult.
- As you collect splattered ink, the blank comic book page you're playing on fills in with finished art.
- A second-level enemy, 'Busymen,' who attack by dropping blocks that destroy your work.
