Paranoia Painter by Fadobo

[raw]
made by Fadobo for LD26 (JAM)
We did it! Our first Ludum Dare as a team comes to an end. Because of other obligations, we could only devote 48 hours, instead of the 72 and even though we didn't finish everything we wanted to, we are quite happy with the result.

Paranoia Painter is a simple arcade shooter played with the mouse and keyboard. You are the dreaming french artist Gaston, who fights with his own mind, for even simpler designs to become the master of minimalistic art.

The game is created with XNA and currently only available on Windows. If you don't have the XNA 4.0 redistributable installed yet, you can find it packed up with the game.

Have fun and let us know your feedback!

i like the name and the painting theme. i also like how the stage gets lighter and lighter as you kill more enemies. the idea didn't strike me as particularly distinctive or fun though.

@shortiris - Only for Compo, this is a Jam entry. :)

I don't think that's how action painting works :)

I liked the colour change towards white as you killed enemies, and the mechanic of the dead paint splashes slowing you down was a potentially interesting mechanic. The game over screen was a nice touch too! I don't think the art or music is particularly strongly tied to the theme however. In particular, I feel the 'bullets' should've been more shaped, and moved faster.

The music is RAD! Gameplay maybe a little too simple but fun nonetheless.

The theme is a bit weak, and it gets really hard at level 3, but the execution is well done.

Congrats on your first entry! The game was fairly amusing. I felt like it controlled well and looked pretty good. Always nice to rate entries that have music and sound effects, though a longer music loop would be nice. Nice work :)
