Original release notes
The Ink Journal • Play Today's Page each day and it leaves an impression in your Ink Journal. Six paintings to finish, and each finished one carries a power into the Journey. • River Letters: a story drifts down the river, one letter at a time, as you keep coming back. • A new look: the Dragon's Tail and all four familiars are painted in ink. The tiger gallops, the crane takes wing. • Cinematic victories: each scroll now ends with its own painted moment as its guardian falls. • Beyond wave 24: the Unwritten Scroll, a painting your deepest Endless runs keep adding to. • Beat the Ink Guardian and step into the Scroll of Night for a wave. • The Full Scroll now carries two Journal paintings into the Journey. • Ranks: Game Center leaderboards for merit, survival, kills, combo and Today's Page. • The Ink Koi now spins a whirlpool that gathers enemies for your next stroke. • The Codex teaches every enemy and how to beat it, what each place in the painting does, and every technique, with Try to practise it on an empty page. • Tips the first time you meet a new enemy, a trap or a powerup. • Guardian fights no longer leave your brush dry. • Fixed rare freezes, and circles are read more reliably. • Send us your ideas from inside the game.
