Splatoon

Shooting ink colours the environment and the areas that are covered in a colour can be used to traverse quickly as a squid by transforming. In squid form the character cannot shoot, but moves quicker, can hide and can also scale vertical surfaces and swim through grates. Ink ammo is not unlimited and is refilled by transforming into a squid. Characters can jump, also in squid form with a more powerful dash jump. Enemies shoot ink in a different colour that covers the environment as well. This slows down the characters in regular form and cannot be swum through in squid form, so they need to counter it by painting it over with their own colour.

The game is set in Inkopolis that acts as a main hub. It offers access to different types of battles and characters that offer improved weapons and gear for aesthetic customization. By participating in battles experience is earned to level up along with a currency to buy new items. In the single-player part of the game Cap'n Cuttlefish asks to retrieve the Zapfish, Inkopolis' source of power, from the Octarians.

The game supports local one-on-one multiplayer matches in the Battle Dojo and online multiplayer games are divided into regular and ranked battles. Battles are played as four-on-four matches with two teams each with their own colour. Regular battles have the Turf War mode, while ranked matches have Splat Zones, a King of the Hill game type where teams fight to keep a certain area in the team's colour.
