This week, for Free Game Friday, I’m not bringing to you just any old game. I didn’t have huge expectations for Tag: The Power of Paint, but it absolutely blew me away. The game feels a lot like Portal, in that you’re using an odd gun, in this case a paint gun, to navigate an environment Parkour-style.<\/p>\n

You start off with green paint, and learn how to paint and how to erase your paint. Then you learn that green paint makes you jump when you step on it, and work your way through a number of puzzles that involve you having to make high jumps, bounce off walls, and all sorts of combinations. The game designers got really creative and crazy with this stuff.<\/p>\n

Soon, you add red paint to your gun. The red paint makes you run fast, dodging traps and jumping further. When you combine the red and green paint, you get some crazy long jumps.<\/p>\n

Lastly, you get the blue paint, which makes you stick to any surface, be it a skinny flagpole, a wall, or even a ceiling. This gets pretty mindbending as you pull some Prey-style wall walks. When you combine all three varieties of paint, you can speed jump onto a sticky wall. It gets crazygonuts.<\/p>\n

Tag is a free game, and you’re a freaking lunatic if you don’t download it and give it a shot, because the game is absolutely brilliant.<\/p>\n

After you’ve played, leave a comment here and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n
