This is great. A complete game and idea is rare to see come together in game jams.

Took me a while to realize ENTER opens the pause menu, it doesn't seem like that's written down anywhere. This game is freakin' gorgeous, and freakin' fun to play, and freakin' polished. The sounds and animations and everything when you hit enemies are perfect. The visual style is very charming. The exploration feels great. Love it!

Very fun game, the menu mechanic makes it feel very complete.

This is pretty fun whenever you aren't grinding enemies for paint. It's also kind of hard to hit the first boss when it's still constantly shooting at you while vulnerable, and you have to be in front of it to hit it.

Great graphics. Very interesting gameplay and levels, but controls are not very intuitive. Took me a while to learn about pause menu (Enter - to turn it ON) and game closed after i pressed ESC so i didn't make it far.

Beautiful pixel art and music. Tight controls and excellent gameplay. One of the best games I've played! My only gripe is the difficulty of the boss.

Best game I've met so far in this jam. Really good job, I specially liked animations such as attack and when enemies got hit. Really good idea and better job. Almost 5 stars in everything well worth!

Absolutely brilliant game
My only gripe is that I accidentally pressed Escape instead of Enter to access the pause menu at one point and quit the game :(
Can't really fault this in any way.

Instant 5 stars in humor for the Bad Dudes reference in the description!

Wow! really well made game! i especially loved the Character name, the art style, and how deep and flexible some of the powers were like the yellow "flick" power. my only complaint is that the music doesn't loop very well, but its good music!

I love it. It was too hard to get the green paint though.
