Ink Formation: Radicals vs. Ink Demons
About this game
A character-combining defense game on an ink-wash scroll. Pick radicals and place them in the inkstone; stack two or three of the same radical to form a character: two Wood radicals make Lin and raise a spiked wooden wall, two Fire radicals make Yan and unleash a fire wave, Sun and Moon together become Zhaoming, and three Metal radicals make Xin to recover ink and radical cards. Each character card costs a different amount of qi, so you must combine characters while deploying paper soldiers and walls to hold back waves of ink demons—ink drops, corrupted beasts, armor-eaters, phantoms, bookworms, and more. Thunder can break armor, Zhaoming can reveal invisible phantoms, and surging water can drive back the horde. Survive several waves, then face the Corrupted Dragon at the end of the scroll—strike before its reverse scales grow in.
