Inkube

Swipe to slide, merge matching blots, burst the big ones, before the ink spreads. A new Daily Ink board every day, quests, collectibles and six boards.

Swipe to slide the ink. Matching blots merge and grow, the biggest ones burst, and every turn the ink spreads.

Inkube is a one-mechanic puzzle. After every swipe, a new drop lands and an existing blot bleeds a small drop of its color into a neighboring cell. Merging is the only way to make room; bursting is the only way to clear the mess the spread leaves behind. One rule, endless depth.

HOW IT WORKS • Swipe: every blot slides as far as it can in that direction. • Merge: two blots of the same color and size become one bigger blot. • Burst: merge two of the biggest blots and they pop, clearing the blots around them. • Spread: every turn, the ink bleeds a little further. The board slowly closes in: how long can you keep it open?

SIX BOARDS, ONE RULE From the cozy 5×5 Puddle to the 7×7 Abyss, every board changes the tempo: stones that never move, wild ink that merges with anything, faster spreads, more colors. Unlock boards with drops you earn, with high scores, or with the Deep Water expansion.

DAILY INK One seeded board shared by the whole world each day, and 40 swipes to make it count. Your first Daily Ink each day earns bonus drops, playing on consecutive days builds your streak, and your best score climbs the Game Center leaderboard. A new board arrives at midnight UTC: the same puzzle for everyone, everywhere.

QUESTS AND THE BLOT BOOK 16 quests pay out drops as you play, three at a time, and every blot you meet is recorded in your Blot Book: 20 collectibles to discover.

MAKE IT YOURS Six ink palettes, four board skins and three blot shapes, earned as you play or in the cosmetic packs. Colors hard to tell apart? The Ocean palette is free from the start. Modifiers change the tempo: Rush and Mirror unlock as you play, and the slowed-down Calm comes with Premium. Sound, music and haptics are tuned to every merge, with particles and combo banners when the board lights up.

HONEST MONETIZATION The core game is free: four of the six boards, Daily Ink, quests and the Blot Book. Rewarded ads are always optional (a hint, bonus drops, or one rescue in a board game). A short ad break plays between games, at most every third game over. Remove Ads or Premium ends the ad breaks for good; the optional rewarded ads stay. No subscriptions, no energy timers: every purchase is one-time, and the cosmetic packs and the Deep Water expansion (two extra boards) are pure additions.
