Welcome to Inkopolis
It's an ink-or-be-inked world! Play as a squid-like Inkling and battle online with players all over the world.
See and be seen in this bustling city center. It's the place to hang out, gear up, and of course, join the hottest sport in town: Ink battles!
Online battles
Turf War: 4 vs. 4
Head to Inkopolis Tower (it's the really tall one) and choose Regular Battle to get started. Playing online lets you level up and earn in-game coins for new gear.
Start Inking
You've got just three minutes to cover the most territory. You can take out enemies, too, but winning is all about the ink.
Get squiddy
Transform into a squid to hide, climb walls, or travel at super speed in your own ink. But watch out for enemy ink—it'll hurt you!
Every Inkling's BFF: The Wii U GamePad controller
You can aim using the GamePad controller's intuitive motion controls, and even tap the touchscreen to Super Jump to an ally's location if you get splatted during the game.
But your GamePad also gives you major intel with the Turf Map, which shows you where you've inked and where to go next.
