đŸ–¨ī¸ The Printer Has Other Plans.

One tiny doodle. One ancient dot-matrix printer. One very bad attitude.

You're a little doodle trapped inside a 1980s dot-matrix printer.

The good news? The printer is creating the world beneath your feet.

The bad news? It really doesn't like you.

Jump across freshly printed platforms, dodge hostile ink creatures, survive paper jams and sudden reversals, and occasionally give the machine a good whack when it refuses to cooperate.

The printer is old. It's angry. And it's absolutely convinced that everything is your fault.

âš™ī¸ What to Expect

  • Mechanical mayhem — Paper reversals, missing ink, paper jams, and moving hazards.
  • Printer tantrums — The machine has plenty of tricks up its sleeve.
  • Percussive maintenance — Sometimes you really do just have to hit it.
  • Personal records — Finish the game, get your performance review, and try to beat your best score!

🏆 Ludum Dare 60

Theme: OLD TECH

What better way to celebrate Old Tech than with one of the most wonderfully frustrating machines ever invented?

We wanted the old dot-matrix printer to be more than a visual theme. Its print head, ink ribbon, continuous-feed paper, tractor rollers, and mechanical failures are the game mechanics.
