Games Like Deadline
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.

YOU ARE THE LEVEL
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
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.
Solve it like a puzzle. Execute it like a speedrun. Frame it like art.
