Ink Side Down

About Ink Side Down

Ink Side Down is a daily logic puzzle where you navigate a cube across a grid to print ink only on designated marked squares. You control the cube using arrow keys, WASD, or touch gestures to roll it one square at a time. The goal is to cover every mark on the board in as few moves as possible to match the par score. If a move would cause the inked side to land on an unmarked square, the game prevents the action. You can access three new puzzles every day, ranging from easy to hard, and all previous daily boards remain available to play at any time.

This game offers a thoughtful experience for players who enjoy spatial reasoning and planning. Sessions are quick, making it easy to play on both desktop and mobile devices. This project was built using Claude Code, resulting in a clean, browser-based puzzle experience.
