6 itemsAbout the Game
Outside the Lines is a free top-down shooter where drawing utensils compete to cover a coloring book with their color.

Features:
- A colorful cast of three characters with different abilities. Only one of them doesn't have alliteration in its name!
- Fast-paced gameplay with short rounds. Watching paint dry has never been more exciting!
- Eleven different weapons with randomized stats, such as a cotton swab, a dish sponge, and a paintball shotgun.
- Local multiplayer for two players with a co-op and a competitive mode. Ruin friendships, and then build them back!
- Sometimes an eraser dude shows up. He's scary.
- This game was originally made in three days for a game jam. Obviously this version of the game took longer but I just wanted to share that.
- It's free. Like, no microtransactions or anything. I'm literally not making any money from this.
