Build explosive attacks from a deck of evolving cards in this roguelike shooter about paint, chaos, and scaling destruction.
In Palette: Cards & Chaos, you play as a water spirit with a giant paintbrush, fighting through a shifting labyrinth full of danger. This top-down shooter blends fast-paced combat with a unique deckbuilding system: collect cards that represent brushstrokes and colors, then stack them to create powerful and unpredictable paintings of destruction.
Each run is a chance to build something new. Will you decimate enemies with swift brushstrokes, or launch a storm of paint projectiles? The choices are endless.
