Anticipating threats and planning ahead. Collect coins while avoiding ghosts. Ghosts move before the player each turn, and collisions cost a life. 3 levels in sequence, up to 66 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.


Cooperative planning and learning from experience. Coordinate two robots to push numbered cores onto matching sockets. Pressure plates hold doors open; moving either robot uses one turn. 5 levels in sequence, up to 152 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.

Claude Sonnet 5.5
The near-field silhouettes, broad perspective and paint contact order are recognizable. Missing outer chains, truncated repetitions and absent ordered imagery within the main and reflected spheres substantially limit the reflection system. Sparse spherical highlights leave much of the curved room and emitter mapping unsupported, despite some plausible planar light sequences.
Inkling-Small
The sphere's apparent floor support, separate dark feature and broad paint ordering justify partial state credit. The major weakness is the largely missing mirror system: isolated side images and faint floor echoes do not establish repeated virtual rooms or curved spherical mapping. Downward framing, the oversized frontal panel, unresolved paint transport and satin surface appearance remain distinct limitations.

The centered coral squid has a friendly, composed expression and a balanced flower-like silhouette. Eight thick arms and two slender tentacles remain visibly connected, with no inverted parts. The mantle is elongated rather than compact, and the arm spacing is uneven. Soft shading gives volume, but dense stippling weakens the requested smooth matte finish; the broad background halo makes depth less precise.
Inkling-Small
The faces and dripping caps communicate a cute mushroom scene, but simple construction and weak spatial relationships limit the result. The defining foot-stamping action is unresolved, the flattering portrait is smaller than its painter, and the requested material contrasts are only partly conveyed.

Claude Sonnet 5.5
The crossed hands, dark dress, restrained smile and winding landscape clearly recall the Mona Lisa. Replication is limited by the frontal symmetry, wide eyes, elongated neck and flattened fingers. Soft facial shading provides volume, but heavy darkness and pervasive crackle obscure forms. The composition is coherent; the landscape and fabric remain visibly schematic.
Inkling-Small
A recognizable but rudimentary Mona Lisa interpretation. Facial shading and subdued colors provide coherence, while the frontal blocklike torso, unresolved wrists, fingerless hands and shallow landscape substantially limit likeness, construction and finish.

A richly designed beach illustration combines radiant sunset bands, intricate palm fans and playful silhouettes within a cohesive purple, coral and turquoise palette. Carefully varied accessories reward close inspection, while overlapping foreground forms and shoreline layers organize the abundant activity. Dense palm strokes compete with focal subjects; animal anatomy, relative scales and reflected silhouettes remain simplified.
Inkling-Small
A recognizable sunset beach with a clear focal sun and appealing color transitions. Connected fish silhouettes and layered scenery establish basic coherence. Primitive figures, ambiguous recreation, sparse descriptive detail and weak grounding limit construction and depth. The aligned reflection supplies a useful lighting cue, but shadows and material effects remain underdeveloped.

The raccoon clearly rides on the dog's back while the dog grips the jet ski controls. Expressive faces, vivid colors and a sweeping wake make the scene appealing. Visible limbs connect coherently, but overlapping steering paws and an indistinct control mounting weaken construction. Flat character lighting and simplified water limit depth and material realism.
Inkling-Small
Recognizable animals, readable accessories and an appealing sunset support a coherent basic cartoon. Rounded construction leaves joints, riding support and steering unresolved. Decorative gradients contribute atmosphere, but directional lighting, distinct materials and convincing water displacement are weakly demonstrated.

The pelican is immediately recognizable, with an expressive face, generous bill and appealing cycling pose. Spokes, chain, feathers and scarf provide purposeful detail. The bicycle largely holds together, though overlapping angular legs obscure the far foot’s pedal contact. Clean outlines and balanced composition succeed; flat surfaces and limited directional lighting constrain depth.
Inkling-Small
The pelican is immediately recognizable, and its sweeping neck, shaped bill and orderly spokes provide character. Riding remains only partially realized: legs, pedal engagement, steering and seat support cannot be read confidently. Controlled graphic effects add atmosphere, but simplified construction and weak grounding keep the result basic.
