Nicely balanced! I was just able to paint the whole city within the time, but it was pretty tense at the end.

I'd have liked more micro-decisions. Maybe a straight line dash, to make moving back to the van feel more skill-based, and less of a chore.

I enjoyed playing this :D

Thanks for feedback, a dash is an interesting idea, I was trying to keep it as simple as possible for the jam. Thanks so much for playing!

Great game! I really liked the music and the graphics!

I really appreciate it, thanks for playing!

Nice take on the "Failure is progress"  theme. Really fun to run around painting buildings! Hud and mini-map are all clear. One thing to improve on is to add more variety to the amount of shots it takes to paint a building.

Thanks so much, for playing and for the feedback

Very simple but cool and fun game mechianc! Very good job

Thanks so much for playing and feedback, I felt like some of my past jam games have been overly complicated, so my goal for this jam was to  make a simple but polished game mechanic

A fun game! It was simple, but it felt smooth and satisfying to play. It would have been cool if the colors combined became purple that some houses had to be painted in, even though it messes with the current idea of them lowering the progress if the other. Good job, I enjoyed it!

Thanks so much for the feedback and playing!. And I agree there are a lot of cool ways the paintball coloring could have been expanded, but I wanted to keep it simple for the jam.

I enjoyed the game even though the theme wasn't implemented the best. Though if you read all the messages the story starts making more sense! It is a fun game and I liked the paintball mechanic and needing to run back (so you create good routes). The music was a bit repetitive but for a game jam game it isn't bad (I have the same for my game, and I give props for making custom music). The paintball sound was really pleasant! :)

Thanks so much for the feedback! I am new to making music, so with each jam I try to make it a little better, but for sure agree it is repetitive.

The Story was really fun! :D Also was ncie to paint all the buildings. But some sort of indicator when you run out of amo would be noice.

Yeah, making HUD clear is something I am trying to get better at in my games. Thanks for the feedback.
