Um'ami Ruins

Um'ami Ruins is a multiplayer stage in. It takes place at the excavation site of an ancient ruin that resembles an Egyptian temple.

Layout
The spawn areas are small, rectangular raised platforms at opposite ends of the stage. Two open, hilly paths lead to the middle of the stage, with a sunken section to the left of each team's spawn overlooked by a grate walkway. These lowered sections contain Inkrails that serve as an alternate means of accessing the central area.

Round lookout platforms on either side give a view of the center of the stage, which is circular and gently sloped; though fairly wide, it features scattered obstacles for players to hide behind. A raised, rectangular platform in the center can be accessed either by climbing a few steps, or inking one of the walls facing each team's spawn.

Anarchy Battle terrain
In Anarchy Battles, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the modes; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.

Splat Zones
Two Splat Zones are present on the longer sides of the rectangular platform in the center. The layout is otherwise unchanged. To be in control of the Splat Zones, both must be inked.

Tower Control
The Tower starts on the rectangular platform in the middle of the stage, replacing a bumper found in other stage layouts. Various objects in the center of the stage have been removed or rearranged, and certain sections are covered in uninkable blue tape. The Tower travels forward off the shorter edge of the platform, makes a sharp left turn up a slope into the opposing team's territory, then zigzags its way to another ledge, which it climbs up before coming to the goal just in front of the enemy's spawn point.

Rainmaker
The Rainmaker is located on the rectangular platform in the center of the stage. Most obstacles are removed from the central area, although two bumpers are now present on either side of the rectangular platform. More grate platforms have been added, and the ones overlooking the pits near spawn are now full walkways that travel to the other side. The checkpoint is in front of the ramp leading out of the middle area, while the goal is located directly in front of the opponent's spawn platform.

Clam Blitz
The Clam Basket is located near the circular lookout platforms. More grate walkways and walls have been added, though in different positions from Rainmaker; the grate paths overlooking the pits remain full walkways. Tall blocks serve as cover in the middle area, only one side of which is inkable. The inkrails have effectively been reversed, traveling from the center of the stage to the pits on either side.

Quotes
"SRL back with an "all hands" of our own - we need all SRL teams to help today! First up, exclusive video of a new stage: Um'ami Ruins. It's an ancient site with mysterious artifacts and reliefs, some retaining original colors. Could it have been a prehistoric Turf War battle site?"

Trivia

 * The internal codename for this stage in the game files is "Factory".
 * User generated drawings on this stage are displayed with a unique effect that causes them to appear engraved into the walls and ground, rather than the flat graffiti typical of most stages.

Etymology
Um'ami is a corruption of "umami" (also called savoriness), one of the five basic tastes.
