Paint Runner

**The world is black and white. You have the paint.**

Paint Runner is a hand-inked puzzle platformer. You can't jump high enough, run fast enough or climb anything by yourself, but every surface you paint gains a power:

- 🔵 **Blue** - bounce sky-high

- 🔴 **Red** - run at full speed

- 🟢 **Green** - stick to walls and walk on ceilings

- 🟡 **Yellow** - shrink to squeeze through tiny gaps (or grow back)

- 🟣 **Purple** - open two portals and fly through with all your speed

Monsters play by the same rules. Paint the floor under an Inky and watch it race, hop, get stuck, shrink down to size or wander into your portal. Hat-wearing monsters shoot paint back at you, and the white-hat Washer cleans your colors away.

**What's inside**

- 45 hand-made levels across 5 painted worlds, plus a lava-filled finale

- 3 paint cans to collect in every level, 135 stars in all

- No checkpoints. Every level is a short, sharp run you can master

- 12 unlockable characters, from Ink Blob to Paint Drop

- A cosmetic store with 40 hats, trails, colors, splats, flags and effects, bought with Paint Drops you earn by playing (nothing pay-to-win, no real money)
