Gameplay needs some tweakin with regards to controls but otherwise with that simple thing fixed I think you have something pretty cool here. Very creative ending for the gameplay! Great job!

I loved the concept and presentation! My main issue was with the character controls, like many other people said there are no up/down shooting mechanics, this wouldn't be a problem on it's own but coupled with the extremely slow turning and the character's slow movement speed it was really hard not to get swarmed by the paintbrushes and killed from the top or bottom. Other than this I really enjoyed the game however!

Hold shift to run! Thanks!

The concept behind the game is funny, loved that the painting receives a value :)

I definitely liked the idea of the artwork being the aftermath of your battle.
Very abstract.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed our build! :)

Developer

what's the best way of getting in contact with you? I looked around your itch page and website but couldn't find anything...

I prefer twitter -my link is on my itch page might be a while before I'm up for collaborating though been keeping super busy

OK, no worries!

Hahaha, I didn't expected the drawing displaying in the game over screen, that's a smart thinking!

I like how you merged the theme and the limitation in your game, good job!

Changing the player direction is a bit slow and it could become a bit anoying, but I think that it's part of the game.

Very good job, I like it! 5/5!!

Really enjoyed the game! It is a very unique interpretation of the theme. Turning feels a bit odd, but I still had a fun time with this entry

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it!  We should also see if people can post their highest art price. :)

Really good use of the limitation! The bullets sometimes glitch when u shoot while turning but its nothing game breaking, although i would say that the turning speed is a bit too slow, and the fact that u cant shoot up or down is kind of annoying, but its still a great game, good job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, i wasnt able to reproduce it in the testing im wondering if it's catching the first frame while turning or something odd

Cool game, I really like that you get to see the whole picture at the end. Being able to shoot up/down or at angles would be a nice addition.

Developer(+1)

definitely agree, we made the choice after thinking about laptop players. looking back maybe we could of used the up and down arrows to move the gun. thanks for playing!

This game was amazing! I loved it so much the concept was so pleasing especially when they give you a monetary score at the end what a nice touch. The fact you can't shoot upwards or downwards is a bit frustrating, especially when the brushes start ganging up on you at slightly different positions but I guess that makes it challenging!

Developer

super happy you liked it! the gun direction adds a good challenge i agree
