Super Painter

About

Super Painter tasks you with guiding Claude through a colorless world using nothing but his paintbrush. Each level requires you to paint paths across tiles to create safe routes while dodging feline foes that patrol the area. The challenge lies in timing your strokes to avoid getting caught and using limited paint efficiently. Platforming elements mix with puzzle-solving as you figure out how to navigate traps and reach exits in increasingly complex stages. The game’s standout is its clever use of painting as both a tool and a mechanic. The NES port brings retro charm to the gameplay, though the 2015 release date means it’s been around long enough to earn a cult following. With its focus on precision and creativity, Super Painter offers a niche but satisfying experience for those who enjoy thinking through platformer puzzles. The inclusion of both modern and classic platforms lets fans choose their preferred setup.

Storyline

Claude was born to paint. He mastered everything from portraits to murals, and became a rising star in the art world. Of course, you don't become a painter superstar without making a few enemies, and Claude's ascent to greatness left many jealous rivals in his wake. Several of these were so bitter they were willing to do anything to get back into the spotlight...even if that meant engaging with the dark arts. Using an evil paintbrush made from the end of a witch's broom, Claude's enemies painted a magic door to a realm without color and banished the star artist inside. Although trapped in this colorless world, Claude still has his mighty brush. He's no master of the dark arts, but Claude is pretty sure he has the talent to reverse the spell of his foes. If there's one thing this superstar artist has learned, there's no problem a little paint can't solve...
