The concept here is quite interesting even if I would have love to see a bit more of diversity in the gameplay.
It's quite hard to move smoothly from a stair to another through the ladders when moving at the same time. I think the game would also be cool with a jump since the challenge is already there when moving from a place to another. I also like the art style, nice pixel art, great fresco!

Interesting concept, and a pleasant game to play. It's a nice addition to have some playmodes, and seeing some classical art felt somewhat refreashing. Good work from all of you!

I really like the overall mood of the game, and i love that theres an option menu, climbing the stairs can sometimes be pretty difficult but the overall experience was really cool

The visuals and audio in this game are very cool! The only thing that's lacking to me, apart from some graphical inconsistencies (e.g. main menu is partially pixelated, but in-game UI elements are not) is gameplay itself - more variety would make it an awesome product! Still, nice job!

A very cool game concept for a game, it looks fantastic. I really love the shadowy vandals that come in to mess up the paintings. I found the ladders to be troublesome to navigate, I think that I expected to be on the upper platforms sooner and kept moving to the side before I was on a floor. The music on the menu was awesome, but it seemed that I lost all music whenever I entered a game.

The gameplay itself was interesting, it was fun to try and come up with the most efficient way to get to a bunch of places on the platforms, especially in the gamemodes where I needed to do so quite quickly. Overall a great game jam entry, great use of famous art!

Nice game, really liked the music and jukebox option. There's probably some win screen (at 30 cleaned?), but I couldn't see it, as it instantly restarted the game. I wasn't sure at first what the bar was for at the bottom, but then I figured it out when I selected other modes - no mode wasn't very interesting, the others are good, so I'd probably just leave those 3 and get rid of no mode option. The paint brush selector wasn't very good positioned on modes, on the last one (chrono I think) it wasn't even touching it that much. Also, the movement controls are with arrows, and D works too, but ASD doesn't, so I'm not sure you intented that. Still, like I said nice game, it just needs a little bit more polish! :smile:

It took me several attempts to figure out how the game worked (the meaning of bar at the bottom, the fact that the stains eventually become permanent...), but I eventually was able to manage! I think what confused me the most at the start was the people in the levels, I thought they were enemies I had to deal with. At the same time though, it is clever to have put a lot of visual noises in the level to make it challenging to find the spots!

Besides this, and the ladders a bit tricky to use, the game works pretty well. It is fun, and ask a bit of strategy. I supposed I heard the win jingle, but couldn't see the screen, as every time it happened when I was pressing space and restarted the level.

Good job for including several modes and a good variety of songs (and even a jukebox!). It should be noted though: the "8bit" theme sounds absolutely ska, and I love it! x)

I really liked the idea of the game and the ability to choose different artists, but the game is a bit off theme of ludum Dare 50

Super fun game, and very polished ! I like everything, being the controls, graphics or music !
I only encountered one bug : the main menu cursor was offset compared to the buttons when I went fullscreen and used the keyboard to select

Pretty polished and nicely executed! Bug free too that's worth writing down! The controls respond well, but I had a big of trouble understanding how to erase the paint, I tried to erase the transparent spots or kill the bad guys and nothing would happen when I pressed space, I only got it once it worked on a opaque spot

I like the fact there are different modes, I didn't understand quite what made me win in the end though, and since I was spamming space anyway it was skipping the end screen before I could read it.

Graphics are nicely done, & I liked the animations!
I think the theme could have been used a little better, and on the innovation side I think this concept would have been super interesting if we have a splatoon like paint physics. Kudos for the music though damn, and alos for having an options menu wtf

Very fun game! Gameplay might need some finetuning (climb the ladders was a bit clunky) but the overall idea is cool and it is fun to use combos to clean everything, well done!

@liubovp The main idea was that the painter had to finish the paint, but at the same time, a lot of elements were damaging the paint (Passerby, birds, etc...). But we had several issues with our attempts to create "pouring paint" and other things like that, so the game looks like a little bit more like if a cleaner was cleaning a wall. This is where the Game Design meet the reallity of our abilities xD .

It shows that there is work but it lacks a little energy in the gameplay. More feedback and lighter movements (a jump perhaps?) would be great! The music is perfect and the jukebox is a good idea! The art is also very beautiful. Good job team! =)
