Paint Game is a bit more of an interactive coloring book than a video game. You roam around a colorless 3D town and paint on the environment. I count it as a game anyway since it's not strictly something like an asset bundle or tabletop rulebook. This is also a terrible page to start showing pictures with, because I am definitely no artist and didn't spend a lot of time trying to make things presentable. Oh well.
While trying to see if I could use the paint tools to write, I ended up terrorizing the denizens of the town with this giant ominous red "PROPANE" written in the sky.
What actually surprised me was that the when you paint on the environment, you are actually painting on the 3D environment. My initial impression was I'd just get a 2D image to color, so when I went out of paint mode and saw I could walk around and still see my coloring I was shocked. It's an incredibly fun idea that's only slightly hampered by a bit of roughness in execution: you can see in this and the next picture I have a few "oopsies" where my paint went a bit outside the outline and consequently ended up on some other distant object.
Another disappointment is that there's a lack of major tools to work with. Paint Town gives you a single circular brush, although resizable. You can pick the full variety of colors, but there's no way to store a palette or anything: if you move off your current color, you're probably never getting that exact color back. This is probably disappointing for those who'd really get into the finer points of painting scenery. Alongside the trickiness of precise painting in general, I took it as an invitation to get wild and sloppy with just throwing color everywhere, and seeing the town slowly fill with color was very satisfying.
Paint Game was a pretty enjoyable half-hour or more of my time, and I could see myself revisiting it for some downtime later. More ambitious folks might get more out of it, and there's functionality to share your creations as well. It would be nice to see some of the rougher edges smoothed out, and some extra tools to really help flex creativity, but Paint Game is absolutely worth a look as it is.
I enjoyed it. Paint Game is a good game.
