Painter

This is one of my top three favourite games without a doubt!

A paint roller has to be steered around some 'rooms' in order to colour them in. It ain't that simple, however, as there are Chasers trying to stop you and who destroy your roller if they do.

With only three rollers and with ever-more intricate patterns to paint, life is bad enough - but the chasers actually become more numerous and more 'intelligent' as time goes on. (I'd swear that they get faster too - but no-one believes me!)

This game has high addictive value. One of my guests played it till 2am. It's fast, colourful, responsive and has some of the rudest sound effects you've ever heart.
