Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a large stage count may find the currently available 60 stages limiting.

- Players looking for a game centered on competitive multiplayer may not find that format here.
Our take on Pa!nt
Moonie can pass only through areas matching its current color, so changing color with paint buckets is central to moving through each puzzle.
What is Pa!nt?
Pa!
nt is a puzzle platformer set in a doodle world, where Moonie, an octopus doodle, moves through areas that match its color. Paint buckets let Moonie change color to pass through different sections. The game currently includes 60 stages, arranged in themed notebooks with distinct puzzle mechanics. Four additional gimmicks can be unlocked as notebooks are cleared; they alter Moonie’s color or movement. A map editor lets players create and share stages using earned gimmicks. Clearing notebooks also changes the appearance of Moonie’s page, and outfits collected during play can be used to customize Moonie. A Black and White mode presents the color-based puzzles in monochrome.
