The Inktron Collider (known pre- and post-INKT invasion as Hydro Station) is the seventh level in de Blob 2. Originally a hydro-electric power station for all of Prisma City, INKT came and turned the place into a frozen wasteland. This level has the most Prismans of any level so far in the game, at 290.
The opening cutscene of the level concerns a long sleigh-riding Inky (with Graydians instead of reindeer), who accidentally begins skating on the icy ground after an accident with his whip. This then causing him to start purposely skating, and daydream of wearing shining clothing, having fine hair, and a "good looking" body. This daydream is ended with Blob landing on and killing the Inky, and the watching Graydians giving him a 26/30 score combined. He bows, then the cutscene ends.

The Level[]
As soon as the level opens, it is extremely clear that ice mechanics will come into play. Along with that, there's frozen ink, which will slowly damage the player for being on it if they have no protection (Strangely, this does not seem to be the case for Prismans). The Graviton power up is introduced after passing through the Winter Gates.
The following landmarks are visited and transformed:
Landmark | Entry Cost | Notes |
---|---|---|
Police Station 1 | 40 Green | Bif says the plant manager is under arrest in it. |
Police Station 2 | 40 Orange | Arty says union leaders are held in it. |
Jail | 30 Yellow | In the lead-up to the landmark, Prof tells you to paint building 'Blazing' Orange. |
Power Station | 50 Green | Bif says it should have the goods in it to melt the frozen ink. |
Inktron Collider | 80 Yellow | Zip says you must race to the other end of the canyon to get to it, despite there being no tight timer. You must then battle 10 Inkies, and Z-Jump to the entrance. Level namesake. |
In the landmarks, and generally in the outside of the level, are Graydians. At least 200 Graydian workers must be rescued before the way to the Inktron Collider can be unlocked. Once the Inktron Collider is transformed, a satellite dish with a yellow beam at the top emerges, and the level may be ended.
