mirror.ink

Calm yourself – draw a mirror axis at the perfect position and teleport the drop in the centre of the target to create beatiful inkblots.


Fill the canvas with ink blots – draw a mirror axis betrween the drop and the target. The mirror axis teleports the drop the exact symmetric position on the other side of it. Concentrate and take your time for adjusting the mirror axis, before you teleport the drop. Consider length, rotation and the distances between them, and try to aim for the target’s centre.
The more accurate you hit, the bigger and more beaturiful the blots you create will be. When you are satisfied with your work adjusting the mirror axis, transfer the dot’s position by pressing the teleport-button. 
Don’t be careless, if you miss the target you drop gets partly soaked up by the paper untill it fades away completly…

Laudation of the jury

Instead of „mirror.ink“ the game could have been called „Let yourself be decelerated“. Because nothing else happens, you get involved with „mirror.ink“. It is a very aesthetic game, which is due to its design. The task is to fill a canvas with inkblots, which have been analogously created by the game developers and then filmed. The ink spots are created by an axis that reflects a drop. The main task is to teleport the drop to the exactly symmetrical position on the other side of the axis with a fingertip and controller feeling. The more precisely and carefully aligned, the larger and more beautiful the ink spots! The game mechanics are based on taking your time and concentrating – not on faster, higher, highscore. This is supported by trance-like acoustics. Good idea and a different kind of fun! For this very successful game the jury gladly awards the 2nd place in the age category 21 to 25 years.
