Seven weapons
Every kit plays differently
Every weapon has its own ink, range and movement. Pick a Spritzer to paint and fight anywhere, a Glint Charger to hold long lanes, or a Twinfin Dualies to dodge-roll into close range.

How a match works
Movement is built on ink. Hold the squid-form button to dive into your own colour: you swim faster, refill your tank and climb inked walls. Enemy ink slows you and drains your health, so every fight is also a fight over the floor.
- Two teams of four, Alpha against Bravo, on one arena.
- Matches last three minutes by default; the last ten seconds are counted down.
- Paint the ground to score turf; splat opponents to push them back to spawn.
- The team with more turf when time expires wins. Ties are resolved by the game.
Three stages · day and dusk
Pick your battleground
Fight across a sun-bleached harbour plaza, a container terminal with grate catwalks, and a marina built around a working car ferry. Every stage plays at day and dusk.
