I love the concept as well as the graphic! Cool game!

Really cool game! I liked the paint feature, and thought it was a really unique way to make an invisible level gradually reveal itself. Really solid art style and graphics, and nice sound effects!

Nice work!

Nice game with cool mechanics

very cool concept... i really liked this twist on the theme! definitely challenging ... could see this in an app store as an arcade style game that everyone is addicted to :)

I really liked the whole concept of the game. Great art direction, and execution. For my taste it was a tad bit difficult, could have eased the player in with a few more easier levels.

Hey, loved the game and how pretty and consitent the pixel style and menus were! Also appreciate the attention paid to the sounds, since you can hear the enemie's directions in the dark. I also think the game mechanic is cool. The levels were just challenging enough and I had fun playing through all the way.

The paint effects on the dark walls are great and I think the idea is really original. It's very fun to discover the level little by little while making it more and more colourful. That's really cool, good job !

Really fun idea and I loved the paint splatter effects! Now I want to see how that is done ;)

Thank you so much for the feedback!

I wrote a brief description of how I did the paint effect here: https://itch.io/post/6585690

Very cool concept and the gameplay was very fun - was pretty hard I only got to the third level

The level design was top notch. I really like painting the board with my body.  I like the saw sound it was helpful and horrifying. Thanks for the game it was great. Good job.

Loved the aesthetic with the paint and darkness. Really fun to discover new areas when you explode into a paint splatter. I think some spooky ambient sounds or music would have helped with the atmosphere. Just don't make it to loud cause the zooming of the enemies helped a lot with finding my way.
