Cool concept i like the painting tiles when ball move. Nice work!

I had a ton of fun with this! The ball rolling and painting felt really good and the graphics were really nice, Please do make more levels because this demo was a ton of fun!!

I didnt know for a bit that you couldnt roll on tiles painted to a different colour, but i worked it out fairly quickly,

Also the mechanic of the white paint allowing you to go anywhere is very neat!

Very nice game, please do more!

An interesting idea lacked a tutorial and the opportunity to study the level before passing it. Good job

I really like the concept of painting tiles. Gameplay is simple but a little bit lacking in polish.
Sometime, I feel the level is too long and dead lock is quite easy to get too.

Nice work.

Hi, thanks for your comment! I appreciate it. I like the concept of painting tiles too, and perhaps with a change of the game mechanics it could become more enjoyable.

What do you mean by deadlock? As in, just getting stuck in a part of the puzzle and having to restart?

ive finished the game and it stated i painted 13 out of 100+ tiles? i thought i did more!

Great work, would need alot more polish, but this does have potential! id want to see a finished version!

The only thing id suggest at first, would be much smaller levels, and slowly get larger, but i guess since this is a prototype, its good!

Sorry about that, it's probably because you restarted from a checkpoint 😬 As it stands now, you can only get all painted tiles by not restarting from a checkpoint at all, so doing it in one go.

Thank you for the feedback! I do want to polish it, the puzzle mechanic didn't really work while playtesting & designing levels. But I had to wrap it up and get it released despite that. Maybe I can improve the idea behind it to make more interesting puzzles than what it has now.
