About

Deadline is a 2D puzzle-platformer in which the player character, a drop of ink, leaves a permanent trail that becomes solid level geometry. Levels are completed by routing a single continuous stroke to the exit, with medals awarded based on the total length of ink used. Additional mechanics include trail-free pen lift dashes, solvent pools that erase drawn ink, and an antagonist called the Red Pen that pursues or erases the player's trail. The game features a five-chapter campaign of hand-drawn levels, unlockable remix stages, and cosmetic customization. Developed by Geared Games Studio.

Storyline

"A drop of ink falls onto an unfinished manuscript and attempts to reach the end of the page, pursued by the Red Pen that guards it."
