Key Game Mechanics
In this first-person shooter, players have one weapon: a large super-soaker loaded with a never-ending supply of paint. By traversing levels and solving puzzles, players gain access to additional paint colors. The player can then change the physics of the level as those colors are used to paint the surfaces of each level.
Green paint jumps the player high and far depending on initial speed
Red paint increases acceleration and top speed allowing the player to pull off a long jump
Blue paint allows the player to stick to and walk on any surface
