Ink - Quick Bytes [Game Grazers]
Welcome to the Game Grazers’ first impression series: Quick Bytes! Today, Davis will be taking a look at a simple little action/puzzle platformer called Blitz Breaker!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick Bytes is a Game Grazers series where games are played for the first time by either Davis and/or Andy and they offer their views as they play while capping off with quick verdict indicating how they feel about what they’ve played so far.
Games are placed on our “Grazing Scale” which lets you know what we thought of the game and how likely we are to keep playing.
The Grazing Scale is as follows:
Gormandize (5/5) - An excellent experience that we think is something we’ll keep playing and will enjoy a lot.
Devour (4/5) - A good time. A lot of fun was had, and we’ll keep playing it for a while.
Chew (3/5) - It’s okay. It’s not particularly great, but there’s something at least interesting or fun and we’ll likely keep playing for a bit.
Nibble (2/5) - Not particularly enjoyable, but something is there that someone may like. Just not us.
Trash (1/5) - Terrible. Not worth your time. Just leave it be.

NK is a fast-paced platformer about using colorful paint to uncover your surroundings.
INK has a similar feel to hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy. The object of each level is to defeat all of the enemies in the room (if any) and reach the goal. However, the terrain is invisible to the player. The player can discover terrain by physically bumping into it, or by performing a double jump. The double jump sprays paint bullets out of the player and increases the player’s awareness of their surroundings. If the player happens to bump into spikes or falls to their death, paint will also shoot out from the player’s last position. The room isn’t wiped clean after death so that the player has an easier time navigating after multiple attempts! This expanded Steam version includes new mechanics, Boss encounters to provide a nice challenge and a change of pace.

The Game Grazers are Davis Murphy and Andy Hale, and they are slowly chewing their way through games. They provide rather colorful commentary, and general hijinks while playing through games. Other fun things include a weekly discussion segment, where they answer questions submitted by viewers. It's a dumb show, but it's fun and they hope you enjoy it!
