A precision puzzle-platformer where every move you make becomes permanent ink — solid walls your future self must route around. Plan each level like a single continuous pen stroke, dodge the Red Pen's corrections, and escape the page before you wall yourself in.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 26 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
You are a drop of living ink, and everywhere you go, you leave a line. Not a pretty trail effect — a wall. Solid, permanent, and entirely your fault.
Jump a gap and you've drawn a ramp you can land on later. Fall down a shaft and you've split the room in two. Grab that shiny collectible without thinking, and congratulations: you've inked yourself into a corner with no way out. In DEADLINE, every level is solvable — but only if you plan your entire path like a single, continuous pen stroke.
DRAW YOUR WAY OUT
Your past is the architecture. Land on your own arcs, wall-jump off your own mistakes, knit ladders out of your falls.
One gap in the stroke. The Pen Lift lets you dash without drawing — once. Where you choose not to leave a mark is the whole puzzle.
Think first, execute second. Deaths teach routing, not reflexes. When you fail, it won't be your thumbs — it'll be that beautiful prison you built for yourself.
BEWARE THE RED PEN
The page fights back. Crosshatched spikes, strike-through lines, and stamped X's — every hazard is an editor's correction mark, and the Red Pen itself hunts anything that colors outside the lines. Solvent pools dissolve your ink. Fresh pages wipe the slate. Use them, or drown in your own handwriting.
ELEGANCE IS THE HIGH SCORE
You're not graded on speed. You're graded on ink. Every level scores your total stroke length — the shortest, cleanest line takes the gold. Finish a level and see your entire run framed as a single drawing: your solution, signed and hung on the wall. No two players draw the same picture.
50+ hand-inked levels across notebook, graph paper, and aged parchment
A stroke-length medal system that rewards elegance over reflexes
Instant restarts, single-screen puzzles, zero filler
A living pen-on-paper art style where the whole world is hand-drawn — including by you
Solve it like a puzzle. Execute it like a speedrun. Frame it like art.
Reviews
I played 14 levels and find this is a lovely game, very well presented, with relaxing music, simple but perfectly fit visuals, and level design that rewards out-of-the-box thinking. I'll be trying to finish it in my coffee breaks.
I wanted to 100% this puzzle platformer. Very addictive. The map with the proofreads from the editor map is kind of clear, but I can't open the trap door. Trick or Treat and The Littlest Wisp are an excellent set of maps. IMO, more on screen tips should be given before the player starts a new style of map (the editor proofreads maps in particular). I had a lot of fun and couldn't put it down. More tips so I can 100% this little gem would be welcome. Full controller support.
