THIS GAME IS THE DOG’S BOLLOCKS!
I love the pixel art so much. I love unlocking new seas it's a bop
It’s a great game and reminds me of the Splatoon mini games! But everybody’s a critic. One minor thing that I don’t like is how the star after its affects does not do anything to protect you from dying. Add like a thing where after the affects were off the whole thing bubbles up getting rid of everything! It would make it easier.

I want this game removed. While my son was playing it had an ad stating “All Jews must die.”
I am still getting ads after making a purchase. In the game, it says that the purchase of any of the worlds removes ads from the game. But it didn’t work for me. I really hate being interrupted by ads and it makes it even more infuriating because I paid money to get rid of them. Otherwise this is a great game, with charming graphics and really good controls. I like how the jellyfish bounces off the walls and rapidly bouncing off the wall can be used strategically to get through tight areas. I just wish I wasn’t interrupted with ads that I paid to remove.

This game is fun I hope that the creator(s) make more great games like this one.
Ink or Swim is one of the relatively few well-made games on the mobile market. The game is oozing with charm and character which shows how passionate the developers were about this game. An example being the environments. Every time you unlock a new character, not only do you unlock a new skin, but also a new background. These backgrounds are unique, and a few even have some skins for enemies and hazards. Another example of passion is the title and the style. Unlike most mobile games, this doesn't have some 'Flappy Bird-Crossy Road' clone title, it has a pun, which is great. Also unlike most mobile games on the market right now, the protagonist of the game isn't some ball and other geometric shapes that have no substance whatsoever. It's a bunch of squids and a variety of other marine creatures. I really hope this fantastic game gets more attention. It's clear that the devs put their heart and souls into this, and I really wish they would add a donation feature.

It's just good
Although the prizes are completely random, I enjoy collecting clams to unlock new worlds, even if they unlock very infrequently, but I more often find myself receiving duplicates of them. Why not offer the option to avoid them by paying more clams? I know I would gladly use that feature.
my friend loves this game so we she wants me to play to try to beat her. i don’t really like this game but i get $20 if i win soooo
This game is so creative and challenging, I love it!
My only real complaint is that the music doesn't change with the different worlds. Beyond that, it's a super adorable game that's easy to play and really addictive. The little subtle details in the different "worlds" are fun to notice, too. Definitely worth a try for almost anybody.
The gameplay is fun enough, if very basic. The problem is that the game is constantly wanting you to watch video ads. Also, the whole clams-and-treasure box system is annoying. There are tons of games with the same type of mechanics that don’t have those annoying addons.
So, I really like the whole arcade genre on this game but one thing I do think you should fix is when you get clams (the money) to get a new water world, it sometimes gives you a duplicate!! I wasn’t happy about this because you spend your 250 clams on nothing !!you should take out the water worlds you already have so that doesn’t happen. It would be the best game that I’ve ever owned if you just fixed this one thing! Thank you guys for making such an excellent game!

Good controls and so responsive when I tap it.
Glitchy. I got 295 on my first try, unlocked a level, earned a ton of shells, closed out of it, came back to it, and my earnings weren't saved! Except, strangely, my score. DELETED.
Good game
