In the constant search for the scenarios, programmers seem to have seized on almost any type of plot. One of the recent types involves the act of painting in some form.

In simple terms, you control a little man and try to paint a square area of the screen. This area is surrounded by a border apart from a gate where you refill your paint supply. What could be simpler? Or is it? The act of painting disturbs woodworms which run after the man.

Fortunately, they can only move on the painted areas, which means that with a little skill you can evade them. As you complete a screen, a new one appears with nastier worms. And so you go on until you run out of lives.

This is a nice original game with good graphics and sufficiently difficult to satisfy anyone. The price is right and I recommend this game as a good buy.
