Inkblot Arena

4-Player Trail Battle · Procedural

You're dropped into a square arena with three AI opponents. Every character moves forward and turns constantly — tap anywhere to flip rotation (clockwise ↔ counter-clockwise). Each character stamps a trail of something behind them: smoke for a plane, letters for a mailman, embers for a demon. Fill the most arena in 60 seconds to win.

Controls: Tap = flip rotation · Hold still = spin tighter circles

Power-ups: Universal (Speed, Slow-mo, Stamp Frenzy) and per-character (jet boost, mail-drop, etc.)

Ghost players: Your past runs save to this browser and come back as opponents

How it works

Each match lasts 60 seconds. Your character is always moving forward, always turning. Your only action is tap-to-flip rotation direction. Tap rhythm to make clean shapes, hold off to spin tight spirals.

Characters are procedurally generated from prompt keywords — no two are alike. Trails are "stamps" of what they leave behind, not particles: a pile of letters, a puff of smoke, a strip of clean road. Each character is tuned to fill about twice the arena in a 60s match.

Power-ups drop during play. Universal ones affect everyone; character-specific ones are unique (a plane's "Afterburner" vs a mailman's "Express Drop"). Last for 5 seconds, one at a time.

Win = highest arena coverage. Solo mode runs against random + ghost players (your past tap timings from localStorage). Real multiplayer would need a server, which is out of scope.
