Inkscar: an ink-wash side-scroller about cutting names back into a world that lost them (3 chapters + boss, 2 endings)

Once, everything had a name a scribe had written by hand. Then a machine built to write faster, the Thousand-Brush Engine, flooded the land with meaningless gray ink, and whatever it covered lost its name and became one of the Nameless. Seorin, the last scribe, climbs the tower with a brush-blade and a paper crane called Page.

Three chapters (the Blotted Village, the Paper Bamboo, the Tower) and a boss. A three-hit combo, a dash with invincibility, an ink wave, slashing shots back at whoever spat them, and a double jump you learn along the way. Touch a seal stone and you restart from there.

Controls ←→ move · Z/Space jump · X slash · C dash · V ink wave · Esc skips dialogue. On a touch device, on-screen buttons appear (landscape recommended).

Nine lost words are hidden along the way. You can finish without them, but find all nine and the ending changes.

Which ending did you get, and was the boss too hard?
