How to play VECTAPAINT

Paint each grey glum its own colour before it reaches the drain: swipe it, or paint the road ahead.

Goal: Grey GLUMS waddle along a road toward the drain, each with a badge showing the colour it wants. Tap a paint pot, then swipe across a glum to paint it, or paint the road ahead: a glum that walks through wet paint of its colour splashes HAPPY and fills part of the grey skyline. Glums painted in quick succession build a CHAIN, and a chain of 12 lights the RAINBOW BRUSH. Wet colours mix where they cross: red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green, red and blue make purple, and a glum that wants a mixed colour needs both. A grey glum that reaches the drain costs a drop of colour; lose all five and the canvas goes grey. Keep your brush off the BLEACH, paint every patch of THE BIG GLUM, and pick a brush upgrade after each stage. Today's Canvas gives everyone the same parade.

Controls: Touch: tap a pot, swipe to paint · Keys: 1-3 pots, arrows + Space paint, P pause
