Really well done! The sad story in the beginning really adds a lot of character to the game and I enjoyed the gameplay quite a bit. I can definitely see this being more than a simple arcade game if you guys ever plan to expand on it. Music and art is also really good, you guys did a great job with this!
A bit off topic, but I found an odd glitch that makes your character invincible somehow. I spent around 20 mins (I have nothing better to do 💀) trying to figure out why it happens but couldn't... But basically (I think), if you spam the red paint brush's ability over and over again eventually the enemy attacks can't damage the player for some reason. HOWEVER, if you use the blue paint brush's ability a few times eventually you lose the invincibility (for some reason??). I was able to survive for 5 minutes using this glitch until I found out abt the blue paintbrush thing lol. I have no idea what causes this and I'm not even sure if the invincibility is related to the paint brushes at all but I just wanted to comment abt it in case you guys plan on bug fixing or stuff like that, but I digress.
ANYWAYS, you guys did a great job on this game and would love to see more of it! That's all, have a colorful day!
(also sorry for the long post 😭)
