About the Game



In the first-person puzzle game that would go on to inspire Portal 2, Tag: The Power of Paint puts you behind the barrel of a spray paint gun with very unusual abilities. Depending on which color you use, the player can bounce off, speed over, or stick to the level’s surfaces. Combine paint powers to platform your way to the end of each mind-bending stage.



  • Bounce, rush, and climb your way to victory!
  • Puzzle your way through nine mind-bending stages!
  • Combine paint types for the ultimate parkour experience!
