Paintjob Rampage

I got this game for free, but I still wanted to write this review because I honestly think this project deserves some recognition. At first, Paintjob Rampage can look like a very simple game, especially compared to what we are used to see today. I helped the testing and tried some games in beta and alpha, but I think that looking at it only from that point of view would miss the most interesting part of the project. The developer actually made almost the whole thing. The engine, the effects, the textures, the systems, the gameplay, the bots, the whole atmosphere. From what I understand, this was made entirely by hand, and honestly, in 2026 I think that deserves some respect. There is something very nice about seeing someone still making a game in this way. Not just putting together existing assets and tools, but actually spending the time to build things, experiment and solve problems himself. And this is also why I think the game deserves to be supported. I wouldn't buy Paintjob Rampage because I expect it to compete with a modern AAA shooter. That's not really what this is about: I WOULD buy it because it represents something that is becoming quite rare: someone making a ga…

I received this game from keygifts.me. I'll give it a thumbs up because it has a lot of potential, but it has some problems. You play as a 3D smiley face (paint blob?) and you hunt other multicolored blobs in various mazes shooting your color paint at them while avoiding being painted. That part is fun. It has a VR feel to it. You begin in a multicolored 3D tunnel wormhole and it isn't obvious what to do. The menu has a unique icon-based format that I liked, but the instructions on how to play are lacking. I think they were going for minimalistic and language-neutral. The sound icon did not toggle the sound off like I thought it would, and the pointer arrow disappeared making it difficult to select anything. I was using a controller which I suppose it was designed for but I did see a keyboard icon in the menu. It also has a multiplayer and a top down option which would be fun I think, but I'm not sure how to use them because there's no instructions or explanations. I probably just need more time to get used to the controls.
